At 4:00 this morning, our journey began. Even before the alarm I woke up and could not sleep another wink... well okay I could've... but not with Jana's snoring.
I nudged her awake, and after a quick shower, she was ready to go. So we sneaked out into the darkness and headed to the hospital.
Preop went on without much to tell about (I slept through most of it)... and then at 7:30 they came in, tossed me a pair of scrubs and took Jana to the O.R.
I had to wait out in the hall while they prepped her, then they called me in. I was shocked at how FAST everything went from that point. I barely had time to hold Jana's hand and ask her how she was feeling, before we were jostled about, and the doc started describing the baby's position.
As it turns out, the C-Section was a God send. She had turned face up and the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck.. both of which would have made for an eventful traditional delivery.
Seconds later we heard the first feeble cry. It didn't stay feeble for long...
I went with Kenley to the nursery while they stitched up Jana Kay. I got to hold her hand, and watch as the poked and prodded, and just generally made her mad.
She is definitely a McHam in looks. In fact, we see a lot of Pop in her!
A few hours later Oma and Jayden showed up, followed closely by Pop. We had to wait a while longer before they FINALLY brought her in to the recovery room, and Jana got to hold her for the first time.
Jayden was very intrugied and seemed excited at the thought of a baby doll in the room... just wait till she realises it's coming home with us... AND IT'S STAYING!!!!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers...
