Cody Edward Mueller: The Birth of Cody Edward

On Friday, June 22nd at 6 am I checked into Kaiser to have an 8 am c-section. As I got settled in my room and the nurses were putting in my IV and asking questions when they got called out the room for an emergency c-section. I knew then that mine was going to be delayed. Once they were done they came back in and said I would be delayed till 9 am. Not to bad only a hour longer. Around 8:00 am the doctor came in asking questions and getting me ready to go into the operating room. As the doctor looked through my test results in the computer he noticed that my CBC test results were missing. They couldn't continue without those results. After a few minutes the nurses and the doctor decided that my test results were lost somewhere along the way in Kaisers new chartless computer system. My OBGYN had to get back to her office and see her morning appointments. We were again delayed till Noon. At that point Jon, Hunter and my Dad left to go get some breakfast. They came back with Carl's Jr and we all hung out. My cousin Andrea came up to the hospital on her way to work thinking we already had the baby. I also checked my voice mail and had 3 messages saying "congrats" only we didn't have the baby yet.

I finally fell asleep and was getting some rest when the nurse came in and said it was almost time. She told me I had to wear this shower cap looking thing. She wrapped a blanket around my shoulders and told Jon she would be back to get him. I gave Hunter a big hug and kiss and told him I'd see him soon. Down the hall way I walked to the operatoring room. I sat down on the table and they said it was time for the spinal. Luckly I wasn't going to be numb as long as I was last time. This one was only going to last 3 hours. After the injection they laid me down and started putting up the curton and getting everything else ready. I started feeling like I was going to throw up really bad and was wondering how I was suppose to do that when I couldn't move. Just as I was saying something they were giving me a shot to help with that feeling. Dr. Sorensen came into the room and put her gloves and gown on and then they brought in Jon. They said they were going to start now. Through out the surgery Jon had his hand on my forehead for comfort and was asking if I was doing okay. Dr. Sorensen tells Jon to get the camra ready cause here comes Cody.

At 12;39 pm Cody Edward Mueller was born. Cody had just recently taken a poop right before the pulled him out. Luckily they were able to suckon his mouth and nose before he took his first breath.
