Thoughts from the delivery

A few random thoughts from that day....

1. After having a placenta abruptia with Izzy I was a little bit worriedklabout Osi's delivery. We were in Richfield, where if anything happened I knew Pila and the kids would be ok, but still.... I tried not to think about it too much, I had had multiple ultrasounds checking the placenta and everything looked good. Luckily, everything went fine and he was born safe and sound.

2. We decided Osi would be the final member of our family, so while I still had the epidural in I was wheel chaired into the operating room. That was definitely a surreal experience,  being strapped to the table and knowing what was going on behind the blue curtain. I was numb clear up to me neck and made sure not to let myself fall asleep on the operating table....you just never know!!

3. After my surgery I was wheeled back into the room and the feeling of complete helplessness over my body was really weird, Pila helped me sit up at one point because I felt like I couldn't get a full breath of air. I couldn't really talk above a whisper, it was all very odd for me. He turned away for a split second and I started tipping over, I couldn't do anything about it and luckily he wasn't too far away and helped me sit back up, otherwise I probably would have fallen out of the bed.

4. Osi came so quickly that he swallowed a little bit of liquid, he was grunting for a little while after his birth, which scared me.  Luckily he spit up most of the clear liquid and the next morning he was just fine.

5. The TV's at the hospital were terrible, the food was ok, I was bored most of the time. But I got to relax a lot, and I missed my other babies and Pila terribly.
