It's a Wilson World!: Happy Birthday Baby Wilson

After much conversation with Dr. Rubino... at our 39 wk visit, it was decided that our little peanut was definitely NOT a little peanut... the Dr. discussed that he thought Miss K would be about if not over 10lbs! So he had his nurse schedule (and reschedule twice!) a Cesarian Section for Miss K to come into the world. We were all set to deliver at Overlook Hospital in Summit NJ at 11:30am Friday 9.25.09... So Mom & Dad to be made all the final preparations at the house and packed their bags! It was such a great feeling to know WHEN she was going to be joining our family... and for both of us, once the surgery was scheduled, we each had our own little freak out moments. NO matter how much you prepare (even me being the Type A person I am) you are NEVER prepared. Her room was done, the house was clean, laundry done, tons of extra food made and frozen... but that was only a very small portion!

The morning of Kayla's birth day came, we were so anxious & excited! We got to the hospital around 9am to get our stuff in order, get setup in our room and just wait! It was the slowest 2 hours EVER! Then they brought dad his little bunny suit to wear in the OR... they walked me into the surgery room, got me up on the table and a very LONG 25 minutes later they began the surgery. There were some issues with the spinal anethesia they gave... there was so much swelling in my back that they had to use the longest spinal needle and after three pokes, they FINALLY got it! Electricity shot down my legs and POOF, they were like wet spaghetti noodles! Dr. Rubino is seriously the BEST doctor ever! He explained what was going on and made small talk with Dad. A few minutes later we hear the nurses burst into laughter and Dr. Rubino says "Wow we have a very social little baby here"... It seems that after they made the incision, she poked her hand out and waved at everyone! Dad tried peeking over the curtain to see but the assisting Dr. was in the way. Mom of course is yelling, "what is it? what is it?". So they announce we have a new little baby girl and all I could think of was "I got my little girl!"... Dad looked so excited at that moment and I could totally finally understand why he wanted to wait to find out the sex! They whisked Kayla off and Dad followed about two steps behind the nurses. He cut the cord and they brought my baby girl over to me for kisses and our 1st meeting... then off to the nursery for footprints, tests and a bath! They called back to the OR to tell us that she weighed in at 9lbs 15oz! Measuring 21.25 inches long!!! Holy crap, those Wilson super sperm mean some serious business! At 12:48pm our family grew!!

Dad and Kayla met Mom back in recovery to have their official bonding time... it was so surreal holding that little baby for the first time! It was more weird to have lost 20+ lbs all at once and have no belly anymore... but I am not complaining. Mom and Kayla bonded and we tried nursing while Dad stood only a foot away making all the obligatory phone calls. Grandma cried and was SO excited to get her little girl... Grandpa finally realized he may have to look a bit more into some of the female sports and all Kayla's Aunt's & Uncle's were just super excited!!!

Here are some pictures of our little piggy's Birth Day!
