They had me suit up and let me in as soon as my wife was opened up and stabilized, and I was able to sit by her head while the surgeon and everyone went to work.

Baby came out, I cut the cord, got to hold her for a minute, then they got the measurements, all that routine stuff while my wife got put back together.

Baby got cleaned up and then I got to do the skin-to-skin holding in a post-op room once everyone agreed that the both of them were out of the woods medically.
