When we went to the hospital, we thought that we were going for a routine induction. We had no idea what we were really in for! Since Corbin's heart rate was really high and would not come down, they decided to do a c-section. As it turns out, the cord was wrapped around his feet and he was kicking, trying to get it off. The funny thing is that he is a kicker and a dancer now. He is always moving his feet. I guess that we were getting a glimpse into who our little man is!
I was scared to death of the c-section because I have never had surgery before. The funny thing is that in between all of my convulsions (because I was terrified), calling our family and letting them know that the baby was going to be arriving very shortly, and being catheterized, we were still taking pictures! We almost left the digital camera in the car because we figured it would be a while before Corbin arrived - but he was here within 3 short hours of arriving at the hospital.
This was actually my second glimpse at our little angel. The first glimpse was when they peeked him over top of the blue tarp immediately after they pulled him out. Here he was at least wiped off and warm. After they put him on my chest and let me kiss him (I didn't know that my hands were tied down at the time so I couldn't have touched him if I wanted to), they let George hold him. Then, they whisked Corbin off to the nursery to weigh and measure him. He was 8 lbs even and 20 inches long.
Here the nurse is letting me get a glimpse of our baby. He looks like a mini version of George!
Love at first sight...
Kissing my little pumpkin...
