One year ago today, I woke up in a groggy haze from the sleeping pill the hospital gave me the night before to "get a good night's rest" even though I was in labor. We took Sam to Robert's aunt and uncle in Idaho Falls and headed back to Rexburg to have our first baby girl.
Upon arrival, it was determined that yes, I was in labor and I could probably have the C-section now. But they wanted to know if I could wait until noon (this was at 8 or 9) to have it because they had already done two since midnight and were a little tired. EXCUSE ME?! You just sent me home IN LABOR to get a GOOD NIGHT'S REST even though you KNEW I needed to have a C-section and now you are ASKING ME TO WAIT?!! I don't think so! (I was in hard labor with no epidural or anything and dilated to a 7 by the time they got me in to have my spinal - can we say cruel and unusual punishment?)So at 11:15 am Kaylie Renee Skousen was born. Things went well for the first little while. Her head is a little lopsided not from the normal squeezing, but because she was breech, her head was smushed up against my ribs, poor little thing! And, she had one leg up by her head, so when they laid her down on the table, it would automatically lift up to go back to its "normal" position. Kinda cute, actually :) Look at all of that dark, beautiful, curly hair! So fun to play with! Happy birthday, Angel!
