Day 10: Today I am thankful for Boogie. Four years ago today, I was scheduled for a C-section at 10am...as we were getting ready for surgery and they were getting IVs in and last minute checks done, I looked at the boyfriend and said I changed my mind. I didn't want a C-section, let's just give this a shot the normal way...He wouldn't go for it and said they wouldn't either...
After finally getting me into the OR, they told me to take the hospital gown off, hug a pillow to my chest and then hug this very large Mr. T looking gentleman...I started cracking jokes of course, nervous as hell about the needle they're sticking in my back...With 2 anesthesiologists standing by the head of the bed for the duration and another on call (they were kinda worried about keeping me alive lol), they sliced and diced and presented me with this little blurry crying bundle...I couldn't feel anything from the chest down, so I couldn't wipe my eyes...
4 years later he still gets kinda blurry, but that's usually because he's running full speed ahead, or he does something that makes me laugh till I cry...Or because he's being a typical kid and i'm trying not to strangle him...
So in addition to being thankful for him, I am thankful for everyone who has been with us along the way. All my friends and family who have told me to WOOOSAAA and every other thing people have done for us. I refuse to name everyone, you know who you are - I have a party to go to this morning :)
