Due to the MS, I will have to have a general anesthic instead of an epidural. It was quite awhile before I was able to hold my dd, when she was born due to the lasting effects of the drugs. It still breaks my heart that of all the people around when my dd was born, I was the last person to hold my dd. This time I may have to have my inlaws up to take care of Kate. I do not want to be last again - especially after the inlaws. I am the mother. I carried this baby for nine months, I shouldn't be the last person in the room to hold it. And I will be if the inlaws are here. I wish there was some way to leave them out of it, but what will we do with Kate? It's not like I know anyone I can reliably leave her with for the day. Is there any way I can put in a directive that states I get to hold the baby before the inlaws?

I hope you get to hold her/him first.
and she will ruin it for me. I know her. Everytime I see her is miserable. I talked to dh about it. If nothing else, we will look into daycare for Kate for the day until things have calmed down. I really don't want her to see me all drugged up like that. It might scare her. Also, the first few hours with a c-section baby aren't all that pleasant. Dd threw up for the better part of the day. I hope she'll be able to spend the day with other kids playing and having fun. Maybe that will take the edge off becoming a big sister.
