In an operating room at Banner Estrella. I was laying upon the table when Dr. Ray says, 'Can you feel anything?' I respond in the negative. The very nice anesthesiologist leans down and says, 'He just cut you open.' I ask you, should any living, breathing person be awake when they are being operated on? I mean, come on. The tugging and pulling and anticipation of a new life coming in to the world is one thing, but then for 30 more minutes after the baby and husband have left, you are still laid out and being sewn back up. And of course you are behind the blue drape and the doctor and nurses are busy talking about the procedure and there is that surgeon tech doing an instrument count every 5 minutes (yes, I was very glad that they do keep track of every instrument). I was never in labor for 12 hours or suffered birthing a ten pounder, but the cesarean birth may traumatize me for life. Enough about me and my woes...
My sweet baby is 1! Her bed gift was a Minnie Mouse. It is so cute that Dan taught her to say 'Minnie.' We didn't do much today but we did have pizza for dinner, one of her favorites, and did have a mini-party with cupcakes and a couple of gifts. Ryan took the monetary gifts he recieved from the great grandmas and passed out on the couch. He never stops surprising me.

After 3 c-sections, I totally hear ya. However, I'd totally opt for another one. I guess I got used to the instrument count, the rag count, and all the surgical talk.
Happy birthday Macey!
