We are pleased to announce that our newest little girl came into our lives yesterday at 8:03am at Overlook Medical Center in Summit NJ. She was 21.5 inches long and weighed 9lbs 6 oz.
This time around the c-section experience was so different. My anesthesiologist was AMAZING this time... Dr. Megan Rosenstein... her amazing bedside manner and ability to communicate made the whole thing just another world than what it was the last time! She also had 2 different color eyes so it was neat to focus on that in the OR. My OBGYN was also different this time around. Dr. Rubino has a scheduling conflict so Dr. Allan Kessel delivered Mckenzie. He even let Brian watch as they pulled her out... Daddy cut the cord and off the the nursery he went with her to get weighed!
All of the nurses in recovery and the post partum unit were great... except for 2. I was up and walking that night instead of waiting the next day. My milk also came in right away on Day 2 - which made things a bit easier! Although Mckenzie ended up losing weight (down to 8lbs 1 oz) and she was really jaundiced... they almost released me without her... but luckily we kicked ass and got her bilirubin levels down prior to discharge!
