As I sit here on my hospital bed, sleep deprived, with my baby beside me in her pod and my partner fast asleep on the lazy boy I can't help but smile and feel incredibly lucky. What a magical journey we have been on to get to this point. The whole birthing experience was incredible. Having a elective CSection was absolutely beautiful. I worked myself up to think it was going to be this big scary painful thing. It turned out to be peaceful and magical. The staff were so calming and warm towards me especially when I was overwhelmed when I first came in. All they wanted was for me to feel comfortable. My partner kept me grounded by telling me of the future with the little girl we were about to meet and all positive thoughts while rubbing my head, wiping my tears, holding my hand and kissing my forehead. I then finally heard her before I saw her and that was the most incredible emotional moment I've ever experienced. I turned to charlie and cried that's her! That's really her! And reality hit that this was real! My wee daughter was finally here and I was about to meet her for the first time. I then got to see the love of my life turn into a father right in front of my eyes as he picked her up and cut her umbilical cord. He then brought her over to me where I saw her little face for the first time and had her on me. She is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I know it's cliche but hand on heart thats how i feel! She changed my world in seconds. What was a horrible pregnancy filled with negative thoughts from prenatal depression and constant sickness was only but a memory. She made it all worth it in the end. I love you my beautiful Lulu Kathryn Kelly Satele. #csection #cesarean #pregnancynz #hyperemesisgravidarum #hyperemesis #babygirl #surgery @charliesatele
