We'll needless to say she didn't make it to week 38! I am telling this story from 4 month ago so the details might be a little sketchy!
We went in for our usual appt on Jan 26 and she had only grown 2 days out of 7 and was still showing her weight at 4lbs. Dr Jick felt the risk outweighed the benefits and schedule a c-section for the following day. We came home kind of dazed... Ric and I went to have our last night out and had dinner at the Arroyo Chop House.
We arrived at Huntington Hospital at 5:30am. They didn't wheel me in until 7am to get my spinal. They finally got the spinal in at 8am. Both Ric and Heather were present when Elora Grace Hutchins Mejia came out screaming at 8:12am. She was exactly 4 lbs! They wheeled her to the NICU because of her size and Ric left with Elora while Heather stayed with me.

I am then in my room and am completely miserable, turns out I had a bad reaction to the spinal and have vertigo, not to mention that the painkillers aren't working on me. Luckily the vertigo only lasted about 24hrs.
