Christy Lee arrived on December 17th, one day before my scheduled csection date. I wanted to be off the blood thinners long enough, so I denied I was in true labor all day. I decided to go to my son Austin's Preschool Christmas Program that night and videotaped from the aisle while having contractions. Then I went home for a shower and dried my hair, and off to the hospital we went. I was already dilated to 7 and we got to run through the ER with my arm around my husband and my Mom by my side and they sent me straight to the OR. Christy Lee was born at 10 PM. I thought it worked out perfectly. My doctor said that nurses are tough, referring to me smiling through a contraction while they did my epidural.
Christy Lee is such a joy in my life. I love her so much. My family feels complete now that I have my boy and girl. She is quite a handful just like my son. I wear a belly pack most of the day and she prefers for me two step around the house to country music at night before she goes to bed. I thought the second child was supposed to be easier and be able to sit on their own, but I can not resist her when she cries. She does love to sit in my lap and smile up at me. I can not believe she is 8 weeks old already. Time flies by faster when you have two!
