She let go and I s my son home today but I could only hope that CC would soon follow

The whole drive to the hospital I made a mental list of baby names that CC and I talked about I remembered what she said her two favorites were and I would pick one of them; I just wasn’t sure which one yet

I stopped at the nurse’s desk beforemy way to CC’s rooet the car seat all situated so that I would be ready to go once the doctor gave his final ok

After that, I walked into CC’s roo around; I could hear the beeping noise again The pain was still really bad; I didn’t feel like I had been run over anyh I tried to open my eyes a few times before they finally fluttered open I took in the room I was in, a standard hospital room In front of me was a TV mounted on the wall, under that was a whiteboard On the board it read: ‘Today your nurse is: Lynn, Room 312’ Next to the whiteboard hat looked to be a bathroom, and then the door onto the corridor On the left side of the rooht because it was dark out There was a chair set up under theand another covered in a blanket and pillow Next to ht, was a wall closet covered with flowers, cards and balloons tellingrabbed for od, what happened with the baby?

I tried to talk but nothing ca to s, she walked over to the rolling table that was set up right next to lass of water She put a straw in and offered it to me; I closed my lips around the plastic and sucked the water in I’ve never tasted anything so good

When I was finished she put the cup down and introduced herself, "I’ over you and your baby"

I smiled, "Thank you"

"How do you feel, pain wise, on a scale from one to ten?"

I had to think about it for a ht"

She nodded and jotted it down on the little computer on her cart She reached in her pocket for a thermometer and took my teo find one of the doctors to exaive you for the pain"

"Wait…Can you tellchoked up
