Mila Blue Riggs-Birth Story Prt 2


So Cesarean section it was!  Once this was decided, they wasted no time getting us in there.  I was prepped and Dan dressed in some ultra hip sterile garb.  They couldn't get part of my belly completely numbed so they knocked me out.  I remember being told to wake up and what I saw and heard was a screaming baby with lots of black hair.  I remember thinking to myself that there must be another mom delivering at the same time!  Here are some pictures from the big moment:
