Welcome Kane Anson Haar!

Well our little man is finally here.
Kane Anson Haar
Born Friday October 17th at 10:04 Am.
He weighed in at 9 lbs 3 ozs and 21 inches long.
He looks just like his daddy. Even the nurse said there is no denying who his daddy is. She said usually you can't tell right away but he totally has his chin and nose. Only thing he got from me is long toes.
We had a scheduled c-section for Friday but Thursday night I started having contractions. I thought I was just nervous. But when I got up Friday morning at 5 am my water broke. I was like you have got to be kidding me. So we went into the hospital and started to watch my contractions. I didn't know what to do. So we waited a couple hours for my Dr to get out of surgery. When he came in he looked me over and said I wasn't progressing at all. So we talked it over and decided to go ahead with the c-section. It actually ended up being the right decision. The Dr said I would have had an emergency c-section. Kane was turned the wrong way and his shoulders probably wouldn't have fit. So that was a relief to have made that choice. Once we had made the choice to do the c-section it all went so fast. Except for the mistake I made it saying it was ok for a student to do my catheter and iv. The nurse ended up having to do the iv and help with the catheter. Was really fun. Then I had a minor panic attack in the operating room but really overall the procedure wasn't bad at all. He started crying before they could even get him all the way out. It was such a relief. He got the all clear today. He is a healthy boy. He is so bright eyed. The nurses all comment on how he stays awake so much. He is always looking around. Even after you give him a bottle. You would think he would sleep. But nope he just looks all over. He doesn't like to be laying down. He wants to be up. And he doesn't care for rocking. He likes to be bounced. He didn't cry at all the 1st day. I hope that is a sign of times to come. I would be doing great if it wasn't for the respiratory infection I caught. There is nothing like trying to cough when your belly feels like it is going to pop open. It hurts really bad. But I am getting though it. I was just glad to finally be able to get up on Saturday morning and finally getting to walk around. I told my friend I think the nursery probably thinks Chris is a single dad. He was doing all the communication with them and the nurses. He signed all the forms and would go get him. He got the joy of changing the first diapers also. He is learning. He did such a great job those first days while I couldn't do much. I couldn't ask for a better husband and daddy!
