olyvia jane
olyvias birth went pretty much exactly as planned i had no complications. i had a scheduled c-section on november 14th. i went to the hospital in carthage at 10am i got my iv and they made sure my blood sugar was fine. my blood sugar was a little lower than they wanted so they put some glucose in my iv and after that i went in to get my spinal at just a little after noon, i didnt realize how different a spinal is compared to an epidural. i was numb right away and it felt like they cut me open 5 mins after they gave me the spinal. zach and i talked a little about how different this surgery was compared to the one i had with evelyn and then i hear them say that olyvias head is out and she screams right away. the doctor thought it was funny she didnt wait to scream til her whole body was out. then he had to get the shoulders out... it was a little difficult getting those shoulders out, but he got it and bam! we had a healthy 9 pound 12 ounce bundle of joy. she was born at 12:33pm and was 21 1/2 inches long. i knew she would be big but i didnt think about how long she might be. everything was pretty smooth after that we stayed at the hopsital for 4 days. i needed to heal a little and they made sure everything was ok with my iron levels, they were a little low. we went home sunday afternoon on a real stormy day. it was a weird day because there was a tornado watch... doesnt normally happen that time of year. we made it home safely. it was just a little windy.
