Lucas Ian, born 7:37am 9/18, 6lbs 14oz and absolutely perfect 💙

On Tuesday, I went in for all my pre-admission paperwork and initial blood draw to save time the next morning. This turned out to be great since it gave us an extra 30 minutes to get to the hospital. This was more emotional than I expected since one of the questions was how many pregnancies have you had including this one (6) and then how many live births have you had (0). Its a fact I've known all along of course, but the reality that the day had finally gotten here where I get my take home baby was the best feeling in the world, but a lot emotionally, especially for someone like me who internalized emotions most of the time.

Wednesday morning was very uneventful. My mom was here and insisted on coming up to the hospital at the same time we did even though that was 5:30am and they didn't even take me to prep me until just after 7am. Everything went smooth and uneventful with the c-section and it wasn't nearly as scary as I had it in my brain. I saw them lift him up and they were able to put him on my chest right away while they were stitching me up. He ended up peeing on me during that time 😂 Between that and going to recovery and even to post partum everything is really a blur.

Initially they told me I'd likely go home on Saturday (minimum is 48 hours for a c-section at my hospital) but I immediately started asking if we could make that happen on Friday since I hated the idea of spending my entire birthday in the hospital. Of course I knew it would be out of our hands if something wasn't going well with recovery. I was thinking late in the afternoon at the earliest, but we ended up getting home around 2pm on Friday! It felt so good to be in our own space again.

I'm so incredibly in love with our little guy even if I'm more exhausted than I've even been in my entire life.
