Early Friday morning Jesse and I drove to the hospital in Modesto for my scheduled c-section. It is really convenient to be able to plan the day your baby will be born. I was able to get the house completely cleaned the day before and Jesse knew exactly when to request time off.
I had to be tested for Covid. Thank goodness I tested negative so I didn't have to worry about being separated from my sweet boy. Our little Magnus was on January 29 at 7:47 AM. He weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 20.25 inches long. The surgery went perfectly and my doctor also tied my tubes and was able to fix an umbilical hernia I had at the same time.
In the recovery room, Magnus latched on right away and has been great at breastfeeding ever since. He is such a sweet little baby and it's fun to have another boy in the family. Jesse spent most of the first day with me and then went home to the kids. We all really wished that they could've come to visit but due to Covid, Jesse was my only allowed visitor. I felt ready to go home the next day and we would have but the doctor wanted to monitor Magnus for another day to be sure he didn't get jaundice since he and I have different blood types.
