So I went into labor very quickly and went into the hospital at 4 am on January 18th, 2012. It kind of surprised me that it was happening already since I was 39 weeks (even though I know that happens all the time). It came on quick and the whole thing was less than 6 hrs long! Here I am just after getting my epidural from Ralph. Thank you SO much...made me feel MUCH better! I love delivering on the unit that I work on. : )
Here are my two STELLAR nurses (and some of my best friends). Gina on the left, and Izzi on the right. I got both my nurses! How lucky am I?!
Here is my amazing team of care providers. Again, it was everyone who I wanted to be there. Anne Williams, CNM was my midwife that delivered Ryan. Then Gina Wells was my day nurse that "specialed" me and came in at 3:30 am. Then Izzi Desilver was my night nurse that again happened to be at work anyway. How perfect! I felt so loved and cared for.
And here is the first picture of Ryan. He had a little bit of a rough entry into this world. He had a VERY tight nucal cord (wrapped around his neck) and his shoulders would not come out unless they cut it. So he was quite blue and stunned. They had to take him to the warmer pretty soon after delivery and kept him there for about 15 minutes. Then I finally got to hold him. He came around pretty quickly and is a very healthy baby boy.
