I also need to add that my consistency was amazing. I had Skylar at 36 weeks, 1 day- Brody was born at 36 weeks, 2 days....both of them weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and they were both born on the 16th :)
It was amazing to me how much had changed at the hospital just since we had Brody 17 months ago. All of the things I didn't like about my first c-section experience were no longer the way it was done. This time I was not left in a recovery room by myself, they took Travis and Skylar there to wait for me and as soon as my surgery was finished we all got to be together. They even gave her her first bath right next to my bed and then she was right back into my arms. We also decided that we were not going to have tons of family come up to the hospital this time (I was SO overwhelmed/exhausted last time) I knew it would be better if we used the time in the hospital mainly for bonding with our new baby and for me to recover.
We only ended up being in the hospital Saturday and Sunday night (amazing for the combination of a c-section and a preemie) but the Dr asked us if we wanted to go home and I was definitley ready to get home to Brody. I had worried for a long time about how Brody would react to the new baby since he is so young and wouldn't understand a lot of the changes that were coming his way. Well, after three weeks of visitors, not feeling well and not getting all of mommy and daddy's complete attention I can tell you he has handled it SO well and I am SO proud of him and so lucky to have such an amazing, sweet little boy. He loves his baby sister so much and talks about her and gives her kisses daily. We are settling into being a family of four very nicely and couldn't be happier! :)
