Because I Can’t Resist

Posting a teensy bit about the newest addition to our family.

The Munchinette was born at the very civilized hour of 9:33am on November 5. She came in at a healthy but petite 7lbs, 6oz. She currently has curly brown hair and blue eyes. Both of those could change, I’m guessing.

I had a repeat C-section, and according to the anesthesiologist, I set some sort of World Record in Vomiting During the Giving of Life. I guess my body does not react well to anesthesia, and I even told the doctor prior to the surgery that I had some similar issues with the Munchkin, although not nearly as bad. Even the anti-nausea medication he put into my drug cocktail didn’t work. Boo.

So, I’m slightly sleep deprived, even though I am lucky enough to have a wonderful husband who is taking two months off work to help out with my recovery and just generally making sure that the Munchkin gets to school on time and wearing appropriate clothing.

Here’s to the many sleepless nights to come!

About Glinda: Playing against type, Glinda lives in the West with her husband, eight year old son and year old daughter. She is in a constant state of worry that her wand is going to break at any moment.

    Yay!!! Congratulations, Glinda, on your wonderful new arrival (and on having such an awesome husband!) Sorry to hear about the puking — I’m guessing you’d say she was worth it, though. :)

    Thanks! She definitely was worth it!

    But as I was being wheeled out of the operating room, the anesthesiologist said, “No more C-sections for you!”

    Congratulations! I’m glad to know that everything came out relatively well.

    Congratulations! I had my first baby on Oct 1, also by C-section, so I sympathise, although I avoided the vomiting. I hope your recovery goes quickly and well!

    Congratulations, and extra points for creativity. xx

    Congrats! I had a friend who had the same reaction to her c-section drugs. Despite the anti-nausea stuff. I was lucky to avoid it during my own c-section. Glad the hubby is helping out and hope that your recovery is going well!
