I arrived for my scheduled c-section. I was surprised I made it to my due  date and a little bummed I did not get to try for a v-back. I moved on quickly to focus at the task at hand. NOT FREAKING OUT. The sun was shining when Wade and I pulled into a tight parking space to have our baby. After some complimenting and kisses we walked into the hospital commenting how it was a great day to have a baby. My doctor got off the plane having spent the morning fishing at the Snake River to deliver me.  After stress and more stress I found myself in the surgery room getting a spinal. Clutching the hands of the woman in front of me I realized panic had arrived and I was indeed freaking out. I heard the beeps signaling my BP was dropping, clanks of surgical prep., and then the tugging and pulling. I looked up at Wade and his mouth was covered by a mask but his eyes got great big with excitement and then I heard her cry and cry. Then I saw her. She was red, bright, and mine. I was stunned when I realized I recognized her face. I saw Wade and Weston in her little face. Soon after I began retching on the surgical table, more beeping. It felt like the surgery was forever and all I wanted to do was to see her face again. As soon as my awareness began to fade and I was sure to faint, Wade walked over and said,

 

"Sometimes Everything is Perfect". I knew he was referring to our daughter. She was here, happy, & healthy. It seemed like to much to ask for. But in that moment, that perfect moment, I tried to breath and express my many, many, heartfelt thanks. The days and weeks that have followed are a blur. Many highs and lows. Elation and frustration. But despite all the hard work an infant takes, we are very happy to have Daisy Skye here, in our family, forever.
