We left Emery county at about one knowing we needed to check in at three for the 5:00 surgery. Again that morning was spent in liesurely persuits and I finally got my belly cast made, something I had gone in on Monday regretting not getting done. Laurel and I spent some time late Sunday night taking some pictures that I wanted done before I had the baby. Sitting in a specific room at Castle view hospital doing non stress tests with these pictures on the wall made me want to get some taken before I had Eli because I'd never have that baby bump again. I am so glad I got them done and also that Laurel has a knack for taking pictures.
We arrived at the hospital at about three and I walked back to labor and delivery and was shown to a room. Vincent parked the car and arrived a little later. they monitored the baby and prepped me and by five I was walking into the operating room. The Anestesiologist came in and gave me the spinal and then I was laid down and the room filed with everyone.
At 5:27 Elias was born and they wisked him over to the little isolette and weighed him and did those other things. He looked tiny and perfect.
By seven or eight I was in my room with Vincent and Eli.
