Baby Jordyn Renee is here

I went in to the hospital Tuesday (April 6th) as planned for my c/s. Long story short, I walked to the OR, got on the table, got a spinal that didn't take. Had to get a second spinal. Once I was good and numb, they started. The actual surgery was quick and painless. My previous c/s was with an epidural, and I felt much more pressure and pulling. This time, I really felt nothing (although I could smell her caurterizing some vessels.....ick). Kyle got some good pics of the actual surgery (if anyone wants to see what a uterus looks like, just let me know....lol). Jordyn was born at 7:55am. She came out crying....actually before her body was even out.

Because I had to have 2 spinals, I was numb until 5 pm that day. I had to lay flat that entire time!! Jordyn is doing great. Nursing is going great so far. My recovery is slow and painful, but I'm making progress.

Jordyn had a low blood sugar right after delivery and had to receive some IV fluids and formula, but she bounced back quickly and hasn't had formula since. She is still a bit jaudiced, but nothing of concern. In fact, the pedi didn't even schedule her back for a weekly follow-up, but 10 days instead!! She did fail her hearing test in the right ear, but again, the pedi was not concerned. She said that it's actually pretty common because of the fluid from birth. She'll be tested again in a month. Jacob was not too thrilled by her, but that was nothing we didn't expect.

Here are the final stats:
7 lbs, 7 oz
20 inches long
She's perfect!
