Aaah! Innards!
The human body is so freakin cool. Yay science and biology. (And also yay you, because that seems like it was probably a little unpleasant at the time.) xo.
is thump applauding? ( i would too! congrats!)
Thank you for sharing these amazing photos.
Thank you so much for sharing these photographs! I’m only six weeks away from my repeat C and it’s great to jog the memories of my daughter’s birth.
I hope you guys are doing great and having lots of fun! YAY!!!!!!!!
Good Job!!
Hurrah! Yay for a healthy baby and mom! You are one brave woman! C-sections scare me and you actually have pictures of yourself. I’m impressed that your husband was collected enough to take those, but I’m glad he did. What a beautiful family!
That is so incredible. I love this. Bravo!!!!
Congratulations!
Wow. Just being willing to post pictures that personal is very gutsy! My husband was there watching both times, but there were no pictures. You rock, Cari.
That was me twice as well…. My husband has described it but I could never visualize it. I thank you for sharing. I cringe a little… but then I realize that it was the birth of my daughters. Birth. Weird and surgical, yes, but birth. Very important
I know I have terrible PMS right now and everything, but I’m totally sitting here crying now. MAZEL TOV!
You are awesome. I had a c-section with my first baby & it is so much harder to recover from on every level. Take care of yourself! Your monkeys are beautiful!
Wow. It’s hard to believe that’s you with the hands in it. Thanks for sharing that.
You’ve got a beautiful family there.
Wow. So awesome. What a beautiful group. 🙂
holy shit! i can’t believe you posted these!! i’ve never seen anything like this. i was so completely out of it at my own csection, so it’s very interesting to see what it looked like – i think it probably took me the last 4 years to be ready to look at these. that is really cool for your daughter to be able to see this one day!
Very cool. I’ll never forget the first C-section I assisted at in training… after several months on a surgical rotation where only icky, diseased stuff came out of bodies – the visceral sense of amazement when out popped… A Baby! A whole other happy healthy person just hanging out… in there. (That aspect amazed me with my own two as well.)
Thanks for sharing that with us!
I love the huge grin on The Boy as he holds his new little sister.
Hope you and family are doing well. Can’t wait to see more pictures.
Wow! I had a c section too. It was a strange experience but it is amazing to see it happening like that! You all look so happy in the last picture. i hope you are recovering well.
Wowie. I had a c-section and was pretty much out…definitely didn’t see a thing, and hubby was watching my face instead of my belly. This is crazy cool. Congratulations!!!
Thank you for sharing the photos of your daughters birth with all of us. I am glad everyone is doing well
awwww that’s lovely…what a beautiful photo of the 3 of you.
Thanks for sharing those. We had one “regular” birth (hard) and one c-section. The section was easier from my point of view – since I was out of it – so I’m interested to see how it goes. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
These are such interesting pics for me to see — totally different from my own birthing experiences (except that I had the IDENTICAL same pink hospital gown!). I love the one of your son holding his new sister, and you look like a radiant madonna (the holy kind, not the kind with cone-boobs) in that last picture with your children.
mmmm.
not sure. but the baby is very good.
Oh my gosh those pictures are scary, beautiful and amazing, in that order! And all so worth it! Congratulations on a beautiful family!
LOVED your pictures — they’re just beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing them. Hope you’re recovering well and that you’re all settling into a cozy routine. Huge congrats!
Wonderful, wonderful pics. Mazel tov to all of you.
Great c-section pics!! I refused to sign the consent until they agreed to let the Daddy-Doc shoot pics and promise to stay out of the sterile field.
By the way, have you and Billy (or Thumper) given baby girl a nick name yet?
Wonderful pics. I saw my friend’s c-section pics about 10 years ago and remember being so amazed by them. I love it! She’s beautiful! And her big brother looks so proud.
I was really out of it when the Mogrunt was born (exhausted, sleeping between contractions) and now I wish I had photos.
you are a brave lady in so many ways.
yikes! surgery pics!! without commenting on those because they make me woozy 🙂 we have the same boppy cover.
