Baby DASH! 8-31-10

Planned deliveries are so much better than going through labor!

We were much less tired and more prepared for our new little boy.

After a sleepless night (we were so excited!) we arrived at the hospital at 6:45 am to fill out paperwork. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything (besides water) for 12 hours before. We filled out paperwork, they put a monitor on the baby and I, and we waited for the doctors. First the anesthesiologist came in a discussed the spinal tap. Adam and I felt really comfortable with him (plus he was rockin' a stossel-like mustache).

Dr. Mini arrived around eight and talked with us.

I was wheeled into the operating theater and given my spinal tap while Adam changed into his "space suit". It was really strange. As soon as the fluid was injected into my back, my legs started to rapidly get numb and the nurses helped me go from sitting to lying down.

I got pretty dizzy and threw-up, which was weird because I hadn't eaten anything except some kind of antacid tablet that the nurse gave me.

Then Adam came in and very shortly after, we heard baby Dash.

This is about 30 minutes before the baby!

Here we are still in the operating theater!

Here is one of the first pictures of our little guy - wet hair and all.

Here is the first picture of the Turner Family with the new addition.

I think he looks like Sadie.

Mommy looking a little tired after surgery.

Grandma brought Sadie to see her new brother.

Sadie didn't really like when people held the baby.

Grandma Duffy drove up in the morning and was there when they brought Dash back from his first bath!

First diaper change from Daddy!
