Molly started crying right away upon delivery. But, then, when she reached the radiant warmer, she needed a gentle reminder that breathing was a very necessary part of life. She quickly got the message and started screaming again. And, this was the most amazing sound I could ever hear. It's definitely a different, and somewhat scary experience being a nurse and being on the table instead of the one "catching" the baby after delivery. I want to assess and intervene in every way possible. But, that damn blue drape kept me from doing any of that. So, I had to rely on my trusty team of experts to take care of her and keep me VERY informed. But, she was brought to my side very soon after she was born. And, we bonded right away in the recovery room. I think we were the happiest people at Good Sam that morning! Lauren and Grandma and Grandpa Thompson were notified by my friends, Gina and Lori right away, and they were each brought in to the recovery room to meet little miss Molly! Lauren didn't really know what to think. She was more concerned about the IV in my hand than she was with this new little person that would change her world forever.
It was a very exciting and very exhausting day for everyone involved....clearly evident by the drug-induced daze that I'm in!
