Waiting to be taken to surgery. There were several problems with my blood work that required me to be poked again and again. First the doctor's office I went to for the first 20 weeks never bothered to send my information. They had to draw an OB panel. Then the OB panel and the blood typing weren't matching up. They drew more blood to try and figure it out. While waiting on that, they wondered when I received my blood transfusion. I'm pretty sure I'd remember getting a transfusion. They said they had to send my blood to a specialty clinic because of some strange antigens. The nurse warned us that it could take a while. The doctors finally decided that it would take 12 hours at the speciality place so I had the choice to take my chances on possible organ failure if I needed a transfusion or waiting a day. Since I'd been assured of both of our health and safety in a blessing, we felt safe in going ahead with the c-section only a couple of hours late.
Anxious to see my baby.

We dropped Nate off on a bench in the hall while I went to be anesthetized and prepped. It was only supposed to take only 15 minutes. Over an hour later Nate finally got brought into the OR. They had some problems trying to give me a spinal. Twice my blood pressure dropped dangerously low resulting in almost passing out and then getting sick. I have never been so thrilled to be numb in all my life.
Introducing Caitlyn Jane Hulse. Born at 9:54 am. Weighing 6lbs 12.5 oz. Measuring 19 3/4 inches in length.
There are no words to describe the emotion I felt as I was actually able to spend a moment with my sweet new baby only minutes after she was born. This may be a normal thing for most new moms, but I have never been so fortunate as to have this experience before. The nurse was very kind, and he let me have a few minutes before taking her to get washed.
Caitlyn is perfect. She is completely healthy and has all her fingers and toes. We are so grateful to have her here and part of our family.
