Lauren Ryleigh Burkholder








Lauren Ryleigh Burkholder was born on February 11, 2011. We had a scheduled c-section. We got to the hospital at 6:00am and the surgery was scheduled at 8:00am. This was different from Lindsey's c-section as it was planned and Lindsey's was not. This time I had a spinal and it did not take very well. As I am about to explain this was just the beginning of the drama. Jake waited in the waiting room as the spinal was being done which should have just been 15 minutes and turned into about 30 minutes. After the second spinal everything was ready to begin. They brought Jake in and began the surgery. About half way through Jake began to feel weak and started to pass out. I was holding his hand and could see his face. One of the three doctors broke scrub to help him and the male nurse and the doctor were able to get him safely to the floor and as soon as he hit the floor his woke up. All at the same time the doctor nicked a uterin artery and I was loosing blood. I started to feel pain and was anxious about Jake so they had to give me a sedetive in my IV. Well, all that to say Lauren was born very healthy and had no problems. Her parents not so much. :) The recovery processe went very well and we all went home three days later. Lauren has brought so much joy to our home. She is a very happy baby and has a great smile and has been laughing from the very beginning. I hope that you enjoy her new born pictures.
