About 30-45 minutes later, I remember coming to in OR recovery. There was a male and female nurse watching over me. If I remember correctly, I was the only one in there. I was SOOOO thirsty! I thought I was dying!! (It was b/c they had to intubate me and they wouldn't let me drink anything before I went in the OR.) I think I was in post-op recovery for about 30 minutes. I wish they would have taken a video of me coming off the anesthesia! All I remember was talking to the male nurse asking him how my baby was, and how scared I was, and how I bet she was the most beautiful baby in the world! :) I'm sure he thought I was a nut! (I would love to be a post-op nurse! Oh the stories I would have!!)
I was than wheeled to my L&D recovery room. I was shaking the whole way. I was so nervous to meet this little person that was inside me for 9 months! We got to the room where everyone was waiting for me! (They kept Ry in the nursery until I was settled.) I think the second most pain I have ever been in was moving from the post-op bed to the recovery bed... it took forever!! Not to mention I had IV's and everything everywhere!! Than the most amazing thing happened... S brought me the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen.
Ryleigh was born October 16, 2010 at 2:10pm. 6 lbs 0.5oz. 18 3/4in.
Later on that day, my OB came in to check on me and to tell me why Ry was having such a battle during labor. Apparently she got stuck in my pelvis. My pelvis did not expand at all during pregnancy to accommodate a child... Ry was fighting my body to get out but just couldn't.
The days in the hospital were all just a blur. I don't remember one moment from the next. I know I spent my time sleeping, feeding, spending time with friends and family, sleeping, feeding and feeding some more.
The last 2 months have been amazing. All the sleepless nights, crying, screaming, fighting, have all been worth it. It's all replaced with the smiles, coo's, laughs, cuddles, and kisses.
I wouldn't trade it for the world. <3
