I was lucky to be allowed by the docs to the operating theatre where Klaudia gave birth.

We had an elected Caesarian, so the whole procedure took less than one hour. The docs warned me that it is going to be shocking. Fortunately, my previous experience delivering puppies prepared me for what I will see.

Surprisingly the operation was very clean. The baby was out in no time. Klaudia and me maintained contact throughout the whole procedure.

It was interesting how carefully the number of instruments, pads and towels were counted. Also, I didn't expect the docs to clean the wound so much with flowing water.

Once the mother and child were separated, the docs took the cord blood. The package together with the mother's blood and a bunch of paperwork was sent to the UK where they are going to store the stem cells in a cryogenic (below –150 °C) freezer for the future.

Apple looked all blue and purple at first, but after 15 minutes she turned pink. There was only a bit of crying. She looked totally cute to me from the first minute.

Few hours after the operation Klaudia started feeling a lot of pain. This is going to be a tough time for her.

Szerencsém volt, mert a dokik beengedtek műtőbe ahol a Klaudia szült.

Pár órával a mütét után Klaudia elkezdett érezni, ami sok fájdalommal járt. Ez nehéz időszak lesz a számára.
