We are proud to introduce the newest member of our family, Lauren Harper Fredericks. She was born at 10:16 AM on Monday October 25th. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 7 oz. and measured 19 1/4 inches long.
Rob and I headed over to CMH at 8AM on Monday morning for my scheduled c-section. What a difference from my experience with Jack! It's amazing how easy the surgery was without being in labor for 2 days first! After a relaxed pre-op, I walked into the OR, climbed on the table, got my anesthesia and then the fun began. By 10:16, Dr. Pattamakom pulled Lauren out, screaming like a maniac...great lungs! And that is such a delightful sound to Mommy's ears!
I got a quick peek at her before Rob and the nurses scooted her off to the nursery for all the basic checks.
She was weighed, had her blood sugar tested and enjoyed a little time under the sun lamp before she met me in the recovery room.
That afternoon Jack came to meet his baby sister for the first time. He loved the Spiderman book she gave him (she apparently stopped at Target on her way to the hospital!) He gave her kisses and brought a huge balloon for her. What a perfect day!
