Christmas is just around the corner too and boy and I excited! I started selling Thirty-One products on top of the Scentsy and I love it. My photography vision is expanding and I am hoping to start shooting some new clients soon. It's hard being in a new place and with the gray sky and cold weather it'll be slow-going for now.
Adrian is going to be 5 in just two days! I can hardly believe it. Here is his birth story:
Feels like yesterday Andy and I were sitting in Dr. Simpson's office after being told we were going to schedule a c-section because of the huge size of him. They scheduled it for Fri. November 17 at 8am and Adrian arrived shortly before 9 (8:50am) after a crazy 6 spinal attempts and finally an epidural. Morphine in my epidural and then the fun reaction I warned them about beforehand. They gave me so much of the Epidural medication that I kept falling asleep, I could feel them moving me back and forth and I remember the anesthesiologist up by my head trying to keep me awake. Then he said, here comes your baby and I heard Adrian cry. He cried before he was all the way out and when I heard it I cried like a baby (I'm tearing up even thinking about that moment right now), I couldn't wipe my tears away because I couldn't move my arms.
He was beautiful and just when I looked over at the warmer to try to catch another glimpse he started peeing on the nurses. LOL! Andy and Adrian went back to my room to wait for me, and while they were closing me up they were counting instruments (normal procedure to account for all of them) and they kept counting over and over. Dr. Simpson came up to my head and told me that they had miscounted instruments, but by hospital policy they have to x-ray to confirm nothing was left inside me. sigh. They were missing two 10in sponge sticks (the really long clamps). After the xray they wheeled me back to my room to recover, and I started feeling the Morphine reaction starting.
I got to my room and Andy handed me Adrian, I looked down at him, smiled slightly, told Andy to take him back and get me a bucket and puked. I spent the rest of that day sick as all get out, in and out of consciousness, trying to scratch my face off from the Morphine and just out of it. NOT FUN! They normally make you get out of bed the same day as your section so that you reduce the chance of clots and to make recovery easier. They wouldn't let me out of bed because I literally couldn't stay awake/with it for longer than 15 minutes or so. :(
Looking back... it was a totally traumatic experience for me because I wasn't prepared for a section, but I would do it again in a heartbeat to have my gorgeous Adrian Mitchel. I love him so much. <3
I love you so much Adrian, I would walk through fire or worse for you. Happy Birthday!

Happy (almost) birthday, Mr. A! Hard to believe these not so little ones are 5 already.
I had the same reaction to the morphine in my spinal with Ally. After my chiari surgery I was throwing up horribly and the neuro wondered if it was the pain pump, so we stopped the morphone. I didn't think anything of it and never mentioned it when I went to deliver Ally. Ha! About 20 minutes after they gave it to me I started puking and threw up every 10-15 minutes for hours. Talk about miserable.
