Vivian Marie Henry, 7 pounds, 0 ounces, 18.5” inches long, 35.5 cm head. Born on August 28, 2018 at 10:47am.
Mom says a planned c section is very civilized. You just check in and say you are here to have a baby. Mom’s nurse was Nurse Maggie. She was from Dorchester and had a thick accent. Beth Israel has tons of med students, residents, and fellows. We got asked to participate in research studies. One on cord blood, one on meds to make you not get cold shakes during a c section.
They prepped mom for an hour then led her back to the OR. They gave her some sort of spinal rapid numbing medicine and placed an epidural. Mom started throwing up then gross! Then dad got to go in, and they got baby Vivian out in probably ten minutes. She got weighed, and they took her Apgar scores (9 and 9). Then dad got to hold her while they stitched mom up. Mom, dad and Vivian went back to the recovery room afterwards. There were lots of patients by that time, including one ten pound baby. Once mom could move her legs again they got to go downstairs to their own room.
Vivian and I really look alike!
Selfie!
And grandma stopped by! She took an Uber.
I get to go visit tomorrow, then grandma, grandpa and I are off to Newport!
Love you all!!!
