So about 7:00 pm (I think. I was a little loopy by this point), Dr. Otey came in and said that I had not changed in several hours and Aaron continued to have decerlations at times with the contractions so we needed to do a c section. From that decision, tobeing wheeled into the the operating room felt like seconds but was really several minutes. I remember some of the c section but I was having some pain control issues so they kept giving more and more drugs (yea! Brian was there:0)). Aaron was born at 7:42pm and started screaming right away. They took him over to the warmer where a neonatolgist was waiting to assess him. The first glimpse I got of my sweet boy was his long skinny legs sticking out from around the doctor. I remember at this point telling Stephen, "That's our baby! We have a baby!" Then I started telling him to get over there and take hundreds of pictures! After they had a chance to check on him, Dr. Kloor brought him over to me for just a second before they took him to the nursery.

Aaron was thinking "Why did they take me out of there? I was so comfy!"
I wish I remembered more of this moment but I was sooooo sleepy from the medication that I was fighting to stay awake:

Aaron stayed in the newborn nursery for about 4 hours. At that time they decided he was breathing a little too fast. His oxygen levels were fine but they did not like how hard he had to work for it. They decided to send him to the NICU.
