Blogging via phone...

Well -- I haven't blogged in FOREVER!

Update -- we've moved into our new place, but don't have Internet.

They haven't come and laid lines for the new people, so we have to

wait until an Internet company lays more lines... Or until someone

that already has it, cancels. Boo.

Also -- baby girl is HERE!!

She was born via c-section, on April 9th, at 10:14am! Her name is

Anya Paige, but she goes by Paige. We both really liked the name

Paige, but still wanted her to have a Russian name, so her Russian

name is Anya, which means Grace, and Grace was my Grandma's name.

Paige was expected to be a big baby, but weighed in a 6lbs 9oz and

20 inches long. She was one ounce smaller than Dmitri, but an inch

longer. Lol so not so big...

But she is sweet and petite, and we love her dearly!!

I've had a much easier recovery, than I did with Dmitri! The first week

I was still pretty sore, but I've been off my pain killers, for about 5 days

now. So not too bad!

I was pretty out of it, after the c-section. What I've learned this time around,

if they say it may make you drowsy... it's guaranteed it will knock me out!

Also, it's guaranteed I'll puke, once I get into the operating room. Apparently

them wheeling me in, and an empty stomach, don't mix with all the other stuff

they pump in you.

So some things that came up, during my c-section. My uterus was fused to

my abdominal wall. Apparently from my previous c-section. So the doctor

went ahead and fixed that, and ended up cutting out some pieces. Yeek.

My doctor also said I'd more than likely, not have been able to push the

baby out, because of the shape of my pelvis, and that she recommends

c-sections for any future babies.

Also, Paige's cord was wrapped around her neck twice. She also had to get

suctioned out, with 3 tries. There was some blood splatter, and a nursing

student had to be taken out, because she was going to pass out. Lol so it was

a pretty gruesome event, but Daniel seemed to really enjoy it! He also got to

cut her cord, and took some pics, that I'll have to post, once we have Internet

again.

I can't figure out how to resize my phone pics... But she pretty much looks like

her brother did :} She has a little bit less hair than him though, go figure :)

But we are loving her! I don't think Dmitri has really let things sink in. He say she

has the cutest face, or feet, or hands... But mostly he's just interested in going

about his day, as usual. Though he has tried to pick her up, 3 times. Enough to

make my heart stop!!

But yea, hopefully another post to follow, soon!
