Birth of a baby



















After we walked down the hallway, they took Christina into a sterilized room to prepare for anethesia. Here she is walking into the surgery hallway. Chloe was born in the room on the left, and she is entering the room on the right, at 9:40AM. (Once we got the test resuts, things happened very quickly!)
I sat in the surgery waiting area, and made a quick phone call to my mom to let her know we were going in. They came and got me at 9:57AM.
When I walked in, Christina was hooked up to oxygen, and had a curtain over her belly. I was trying to comfort her, and get up the courage to look around the curtain.
Things happened very quickly. We were speaking with the anesthesiologist, and making a few jokes. Before we knew it, our doctor was saying she saw a head, and that she had dark hair.
This is the first picture of the new baby- from where I was seated. I looked around the curtain for a shot of the clock- she was born at 10:04AM.

I posted a comment yesterday and I am mad because it didn't show up. Now it looks like Tanya is more awesome b/c she posted first. Lame. Anyway, I just said I loved you and thought my neice is beatiful. On a side note, how is it that Christina looks beautiful passed out on drugs having a baby. (unnatural) My vote for best pick is all the girls in the bed holding the baby.....so cute. Oh and the one of her feet. I love baby feet!
