. . . Caesarian Sections

Okay, I am not even pretending that I have any experience in actually having a c-section. This is more my adventures in witnessing, caring for, and nurturing the healing of said c-section. For some reason, I was under the impression that the skin was flexible enough that the doctor could cut an incision about the size of the vaginal opening and then stretch the skin to the desired width or at least to a large enough width to recieve a baby through. Boy was I wrong. There is actually an incision about a foot long, I kid you not. I did not want to see the blood and everything during the operation so I stayed on the safe side of the curtain. Well, once little Matthew made his debut, I was over at the table where they were cleaning him up ("wow, his head is round", I observe, like a complete nimrod.) It was then that I had the experience I had not counted on. Natalie and I were talking back and forth about the baby. I looked back for a minute and observed THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CURTAIN. I saw Natalie's uterus lying on her stomach. Needless to say, I will never forget my adventures in Caeserian sections. By the way, they did put the uterus back and Natalie seems to be keeping her guts intact nicely.
