It’s interesting hearing of your birth experience--it’s so different.
Bob, that’s disappointing that they didn’t let you be in the room for the birth. Mike was right there and got to give Rowan her bath and everything. I really wanted him to video record it, but he didn’t even take a single picture. Oh well, at least he didn’t faint…
Tomoko, I can’t believe you could feel things so much--how scary. I was so nervous about getting the spinal block too. I was sure they were going to paralyze me or something. I didn’t feel anything when they cut me open (there was a big screen between my and my stomach so I couldn’t see anything). I kept telling the anesthesiologist that I was nervous I would feel it b/c I could still wiggle my foot. But then he told me “you’re already cut open” and I relaxed a little. I think that’s great that you got to hold Link immediately.
RE: the diaper sprayer… We actually haven’t hooked it up yet. It’s on the to do list though. Rowan keeps refusing any solids we put in front of her (we’ve tried avocado and rice cereal so far) so we haven’t really had a need for it yet. I’ll be sure and let you know though.
Yeah Chenoa, it was a bummer. I’ve got some other gripes about that doctor to, as does Tomoko. Needless to say we won’t have baby two in the same place. Anesthesiologist ... that sounds like a great idea! RE: Rowan’s refusal of solids I saw the avocado pictures, and liked how you color-coordinated her food and clothes. May I suggest peas as another food that would go well with that outfit? Thanks for being our only commenter. We love you the best.
