Claire, Katya, Sarah (our wonderful support person from church) and me
Katya!!!
We had a scary time. The induction started on Thursday evening. Claire stayed in hospital overnight. On Friday morning we went down to delivery and it all turned to custard. Claire's blood pressure was very (dangerously) high and we spend all day trying to get that down. Finally it was down by 7pm when the heavy duty induction medicines were appled. However these medicines simply they did not work.
By 3am in the morning it was decided to do a C-section.
And a 5:27am Katya was born.
The big up side was the epidural was amazingly effective and Claire had no (none) pain.
We are now recovering from sleep deprevation. Claire will be in hospital for monitoring for her blood pressure and recovery. For the next couple of days we will not be doing visitors. Maybe on Monday we will see where we are at and let people know. Thanks in advance for respecting this need to recover and spend time with our first child.
Oh... and the specs...
