The Tubes are Tied....

Went in this morning to get "fixed". Had to be at the hospital at 7, so I went alone because Davide had to put the boys on the bus, got my vitals taken, the IV started and spoke to the doc and my favorite anesthesiologist (aka, guy who curses a lot and cracks me up, the same one I had for Bella's delivery), then Davide came, and they drugged me up and wheeled me in. Unlike my other procedure, I conked out right after they put the drugs in my IV, so next thing I knew, I woke up in the recovery room. Have a big band aid on my belly button, and feel a little loopy....
I have to take it easy for 24 hours, and go in 1 week to get my incision checked...
I was able to pump and dump at the hospital, and did it once more when I got home, and then went back to nursing as normal, Bella has been very awake, so the drugs are definitely not effecting her.
She was really good for her grandparents and took 4 bottles of BM while I was gone, and latched on no problem as soon as I was able to nurse her.
Then of course she took a monster dump, soaked through all her clothes and I ended up giving her an "emergency" bath....so much for taking it easy.
So overall, no regrets, I'm glad that I took control of my own fertility and did not have to have the big baby get snipped....cause God only knows how much of a pain he would of been.

I am so glad the procedure went off without a hitch! I had mine done after Jack. It made me sad, but relieved at the same time.

Rest well and recover
