July 5th, 2011 Arriving at the Hospital

We arrived at Wesley Medical Center at 8 a.m. After filling out the paperwork, we were showed to our room, where they began to hook me up. Abbie kept moving around, so they had to lay me on my side to get her heartbeat.We weren't able to go right in to surgery, so down time was consumed with TV.
By 10:23 a.m., they were inserting the epidural. This is the usual position for me at this time, grasping Dale's hand and not trying to cry.Lovely, isn't it?!Insert knife at 10:51 a.m.11:03 a.m. Meet Abigail ("Abbie") Elaine Pratt.
She weighed 7 lbs., 12 oz., and was 19 inches long.Love the hat!She didn't stop crying until we got back to the room.Heavily Drugged!Doc Feuille, "C-Section King".Waiting for the audience to leave so I could feed this poor thing.We were finally moved upstairs to the postpartum rooms, and big sister came. Clara has been such a great big sister! She LOVES to hold her ALL the time. James and Clara figured out that Abbie is ticklish on her little feet.
The torturing begins!
