sporspot: Belle!!

She's here!

Belle Ione (Ione after a Ione Gibeaut-a woman who is like another grandmother to me) got to come a little earlier than originally planned-my c-section was planned for the 21st but a couple days before my Dr called and said that day was going to be really busy for her and asked if I would I want to have her on the 19th-uh, yes!

Everything went great-I was a little freaked out this time hearing all the possible complications and side effects etc. As I was sitting on the operating table waiting to get the epidural I was thinking I really did not feel like doing this! But apparently there was no other option. It really wasn't as bad as I was anticipating:) So anyway, here are some pics from our time in the hospital..

One last pic of my oh so beautiful belly (and puffy face-it was fine up until a few days before and then it just decided to explode...)

Belle Ione was pulled out at 10:17 am weighing 7lb 8oz measuring 19"

meeting mommy for the first time-look at all that hair!

feeding for the first time (definately not as good of an eater as Lina was, but I still love her:)

Lina meeting her little sister for the first time. She wasn't too interested at first...

probably because there were 10 million other people in the room too!!

If you can't tell from my face, I was not feeling too hot. Actually, I was very hot-and very very itchy. Apparently that is one of the side effects from whatever was in the epidural-I wanted to rip my face off it itched so bad. I could have taken benedryl to help but I had some right after the c-section and it made me even more tired and I needed to stay awake to entertain all my guests;)
