Our Adyson Adventure!

Warning... LOTS of pics. and probably way T.M.I. for most of you... but for my journaling... :)

My C section was scheduled at 4:30 pm and we had to be there by 2:30 to start getting prepped! I was a little (okay... a lot) on the nervous side especially since I had all day to sit around and think about everything. Chris's mom flew in the night before to stay with McKenna!

Before her arrival...

We were sure McKenna had no clue how her life was about to change... but she was just excited Nana was here and the spoiling had already began!


I look happy here... I was secretly terrified! When I had my c section with McKenna I literally had a panic attack during it so I was nervous!

All dressed and ready to go... when we got there we were told my doctor was delivering twins by c section just an hour before me so they might be running a little late, we ended up waiting until about 5:30 to go back so Chris and I had some waiting time!


Still waiting!


The Birth...

Before we went in I let everyone involved know about my previous panic attack just so they had a heads up! They were all so great and were extra calming because of it! When I was getting all set up in the O.R. the song "Get this party started" was playing... as she was being delivered another song was playing with the words "Breathe... just Breathe..." I thought both were very fitting and I'm proud to say I was panic attack free! I just had to control my breathing and I was fine! I still had tears coming down through the whole thing, but it was a good moment for me to be more aware when she was actually out!


My first moment with my new princess... so special to me!


After the Birth...

When they rolled me out of the O.R. and I finally got to hold her for the first time!... we still had no clue what her name was at this point :)


After the c section I was still having a lot of reactions from everything and was sick and throwing up so Adyson Isabelle was finally decided on the next day!


McKenna meetong Adyson!... She still calls babies mama... we are not sure why, but I think it was love at first sight for both of them!...


Me and my babes!


Daddy with his girls!

Nana with Adyson...

McKenna... trying to stay entertained in a small hospital room!...



This is what I got to eat for the first couple of days... liquid diet... it was disgusting...

Jessy and Adyson



Going Home...

We were able to go home Sunday afternoon!


It's Chris' tradition to go out and buy the girl's their going home outfit!... He picked both McKenna's and Adyson's out without me even knowing! They are so lucky to have him for their daddy!


They had to push me out in a wheel chair... lame...



Adyson all ready for her first car ride! We live like 2 minutes from the hospital... so it was a short one! :)


We were happy to be home and so grateful Nana was here to be with McKenna! Here's McKenna's first time holding Adyson!


Adyson also brought McKenna a present home! Her own baby doll with all the stuff to take care of her too!...

I'm not sure if she quite gets it yet...!


Adyson cheering ther she's home!


McKenna is doing really well with Adyson and loves to give her the binky! She gives her lots of kisses and always goes up to her to say hi!


Adyson we are so glad you are home and we can't wait to start our new life as the four of us!
