So, As most of you know, we had our beautiful baby girl on febuary 11th at 1:54Am... Affter a lonnnnng day/ night.
We arived at the hospital on febuary 10th at 7am to be induced. they have to check you and do a bishop score and if you dont score a 10 you can be induced... So the nurse checks me and i score an 8.... BLAH! sooooo they call the dr he checks me and then the nurse re checks me and i ended up scoreing a 10... So here we go...
I hate HATE HATE needles... So of corse, 3 iv trys later and they got it in ( I dont blame the nurse she was as nice as can be... i just have cruddy veins).
Anyways I decided to go alllll natural... yea.. that sucked lol... They started the pitocin and soon enough the contractions started comeing harder..
So needless to say i got an epidural around noon.... Let me remind you i HATE needles... while he was doing it he would hit the nurves on either side of my body so i would have to tell him what side each time.. Yea was not fun.... But when thos drugs started working.. i sure didnt care... Until... they wore off...
So about 7pm i started feeling horible back and leg pain, I mean HORRRIBLE... no fun... then i also started feeling my contractions again... BUT i didnt want to press the dumb button to give me more pain meds because they said if they gave me another dose i may not be able to feel my legs and they would have to give me a C section cause i wouldnt beable to feel my legs... WHich i DID NOT want at all...
So i took the pain....
Until around 1:30 am my dr said it was time to do an emergency c section.. my cervix was just not getting that last bit gone, and the baby was starting to get in distress... SOOO... what i really didnt want to happen did...
So affter about 19 or so hours of labor, Most of it natural with pitocin... I had to have my baby cut from my tummy....
She was born at 1:54 am weight 7Ilbs 13oz 19 Inchs long
THEN..to make matters worse, Emma Had to be in the nicu for about 3 1/2 days. she needed iv fluids and he blood cell count was low so they had to do cultures that took 2 days to get back, Then she wasnt eating so they kept her in there long, and sense she wasnt eating, her billyrubin went up and she had to be put on lights for 2 days...
The c section was horible.... But i was glad to have my husband and sister in law in there ( She works for the drs so they said she could be there)
Also i was sooo thankfull to have my wonderful mothers there! My mom, My other mom, and mother in law.
It was wonderful to have my mother there, I had allways dreamed about the day i would have my babys, and have my mother by my side, I was so worried that day would never come, and im so glad that day came true.. I love you mom, More then you will ever know! Thank you for allways being there for me!
I dont think i would have been able to handle Anything that happen that day (or my whole pregnancy for that matter) if i didnt have My other mom ( Aka - sherrie) I love her very much and im so greatful god led her to my dad :) I love you mom!
Also to have my mother in law with us was awesome, She came down from idaho the week before to be here and I know my husband was very happy to have her by his side! I love you mom!
Plus, I also had my wonderful Father and brother! my brother brought emma a pink teddy that said, "My first teddybear" And im so thankful he did, I slept with that bear every night.. I love them both more then words can say, My brother has allways been there for me, and protected me sense i was little, I love you so much andrew! And my father has allways been my rock, I love you so much dad! you mean the world to me and im so glad you were there with me holding my hand!
Also My sister in law jennie, Thank you for being there! Im so glad you came in with me into the c- section, I couldnt have stayed as calm as i did if it wasnt for you holding my hand before they let kevin come in! Thank you so much! I cant tell you how much it ment to me to have you there! I love you! and im so glad your my sister! :)
Anyways..... I have typed a crud load... and there is still more to go.. but Im tierd lol.. And i dont know if anyone even would read this whole thing anyways! lol :)
