The Little Red Caboose

On February 13th, I woke up knowing it was my last day of pregnancy. After months of anticipation, my little surprise baby would enter into the world no later than 6:30 p.m! Reggie started the morning cooking breakfast for me because I wouldn't be able to eat after 10 and for the last time he and I ate with our TWO kids.

4:00 p.m, We arrived at Baylor to check in for my scheduled c-section. I wasn't nervous at all. Actually, I didn't really feel like I was having a baby.

4:30 p.m. Here comes all the monitoring and my mother ..... I hate being strapped down with baby monitors, blood pressure cuffs and IV's. My mama arrived cheesing like she was the one having a baby!

5:30 p.m. My surgery was scheduled for 6 but the lady before me had trouble with her epidural. All of a sudden, I'm being rolled to the OR and now I'm nervous. My anxiety reached an all time high when the anesthesiologist couldn't get my spinal block in. At this point, I was afraid I would  be paralyzed  when it was all said and done with. FIVE sticks later, I was good to go! By this time, it's 6p.m.!

6:00 p.m Reggie came in and the Dr. Watson soon followed. Let the cutting begin!

6:19 p.m. Our daughter entered the world at 6lbs 7oz and was as red as she wanted to be! The red gene strikes again......

To say we are happy about our new edition is an understatement. We are overjoyed! She is the perfect little girl to complete this Howard train.
