Mercy is here!

Mercy was born last Monday morning! She was born at 8:01 am in the morning, on the date of my scheduled c section. She weighed 7 lbs 10oz, and was 19 1/2 inches long. I was surprised to see dark hair, and very happy to hear her crying and alert when she was born. We had to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning. Of course, who sleeps well the night before a major surgery? I didn't get much sleep the night prior, not to mention my numerous bathroom trips. Everything went smoothly, as far as being prepped for surgery. You would think that it wouldn't be that bad...preparing for surgery, but I had a bad experience with Aedan. Everything leading up to it went much better, and my blood pressure stayed fine throughout it all. I loved my anetheisologist. He got my spinal in on the first try! (Last time it took the guy 6 times...and, no...I'm not exaggerating.) Once they got in to deliver Mercy, Dr. Gernt noticed extra scar tissue that had grown together my uterus and bladder. My bladder had gotten really stretched out and thin because of the growth of my uterus. They called in a Urologist to get his opinion on how to fix it. Unfortunately, I was in surgery for over an hour, but I'm thankful that the urologist was available. Once, again, my wonderful anetheisologist made that happen. After several tries of trying to get a hold of the urologist by way of the nurses, he called the anetheisologist who was with the urologist in his surgery. Here are some pictures of her birth, and more will be coming (hopefully) soon...
