The c-section went well from the doctor's point of view. I have healed perfectly and the surgery went "text book." The healing part was more painful this time. The pain medication kept dropping my already low pressure so I had to stop taking it. My blood pressure was 70/40 for about 12 hours after surgery. It felt like I was dying (or at least it crossed my mind). I could take Tylenol and Motrin, but they didn't seem to help much. In any case, I am better now and loving my increased family. All of it worth it in the end, but it is hard to say such things in the thick of things.

A Little of Everything
I am recovered. During the first week of recovery I would have given anything to be pregnant again. Now that I am recovered there is NO price that would entice me to be pregnant again, ever.

I love these kids! Camille is wearing one of my baby dresses. Happy Easter
The Easter Bunny was good to us this year. I was excited about a record player just like the one I had when I was young. Do you remember them?
Cousin Sarah, Grandma, Camille, and Paul. It was so nice to have my mom here for the past few weeks. I finally feel like I have some legs underneath me. My mom did so much while she was here. We were all taken care of. Thank you Mom!
My Dad came out for Easter weekend and we went to the Wings Over the Rockies Museum. An X-wing fighter from Star Wars IV was there. Very cool :) and signed by a lot of the actors.
Caleb is sitting on a hydrogen bomb. I was also pleased to see a B-1 Bomber up close. They are HUGE! We are actually standing underneath the B-1 in this picture.
A rare thing - Caleb is holding Camille.
And Paul doing what he loves most. I am so glad that he still is excited about her. He has been looking forward to her arrival for SO long.
Camille 2 weeks old. 6lbs. 8oz. She is still a good eater and a good sleeper. She is such a pleasant little thing.
This is a typical picture. Paul holding Camille and Caleb ignoring her.
Caleb's naps went out the window for a few weeks. He would occasionally crash on the couch late afternoon. He still carries that bear everywhere.

These pictures of the boys with (and without :)) Camille are precious! Noah didn't much care for Claire until about week two and then it was on his terms and his terms only. Now he is concerned when she cries and he is always afraid we have left her behind :). I love having a girl and a boy!!!! Hope you continue to enjoy your family!
Susan and Pat, she is beautiful! Congratulations. Know you will be busy. Your boys are really growing! And they got the Dannenberg good looks(LOL)!
so cute! she is tiny! I know she will look completely different once she fills out, but she definitely looks like she is yours:) glad you are feeling better. i am hoping my c-section #3 goes well... but i know what you mean about being done with pregnancy. i am feeling that for sure.
