The Hoot Family: The arrival of the Hoot 3/24/11!

I was not lying when I said morning would come fast up at 3:30 AM. Jeff and I showered got ready packed the car and headed to the hospital at 4:30 AM. Jeff stopped and got him McDonald's for breakfast I know cruel right??? No not really I was nausea like any other day so food was not appealing! We talked the whole way about life I don't think either one of us was nervous.

Got to hospital and they got us right into room. Got me ready they put the heart beat monitor belt on me thought Hoot ant I were going to die it was so tight! Hoot was moving like crazy! The nurse was like wow does baby always move like this? Told her yes they finished getting me ready and left us alone. I was worried about time dragging but we actually slept alittle bit.

Then are wonderful Pastor Slayden came in and we visited. Was so nice to visit with him very hard too at church. What a great man he is! Then walked in Dr N he said ready to get this show on the road! I couldn't believe it was time! Pastor prayed with us and out I rolled to operation room. Nervous no not yet.

Got into room and they started prepping me had another nice nurse. Then came the spinal block and then came the nervous part for me. Then Dr N walked in and said I just got two hugs from your kids I said they love you who doesn't? That made me feel good my kids and parents had made it. I was worried because it was so early.

So spinal block put in by a man that spoke very monotone and reminded me of someone in a scary movie. He was nice though and took great care of me. Got spinal block in looked at my pretty toes all the nurses liked them. Told Dr. N got pedicure just for him! ha..

Then they put sheet up but what I thought was odd was it was short and very close to my face. I had been warned by girlfriends that he has the Dad look and take picture of baby in sack. I know gross right? In comes Jeff and he can see everything I warned him. Dr. N cut me and pulled baby half way out and sure enough told Jeff to look and take picture. Jeff did as told and then he was fascinated with the experience once Dr N realized he wasn't going to pass out. He treated him like a student and let him stand up and look closer.

The time we have all been waiting for is Hoot Pink or Blue!!!!! Dr N had baby half way out and said to Jeff boy or girl?? Jeff said Boy Dr. N said he was sticking with girl! OUT CAME HOOT BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh Hoot cried and cried they said that was a good thing but hard for Mama to be helpless laying on table listing to her baby cry. Jeff left my side and went in took pictures of Hoot. They weighed Hoot I was surprised how much he weighed. Cleaned him up seemed like it took forever. Then they brought Hoot in for me to see. He is beautiful and looks like his Dad. Then Jeff and Hoot left me to get all fixed back up.

Then came my no coffee headache oh it hurt I cried! Listen to them visit and count the instruments over and over! Then they started talking about my old OB which was kinda of weird. Then Dr. N had me all put back together again. Off he went to start his day I was his only one that day. What a wonderful experience he made the delivery. Good thing we didn't have him with first mite have five babies by now. Ha

They wheeled me to recovery room. My Mom and Brice were first to come see me Brice was worried about his Mama. Which I had tears of joy coming down my face when he came in so he asked mom are you crying? I told him yes and I was ok. He was excited to have a brother. Kenna stayed back to see baby more.
