4 years ago today I gave birth to my sweet L. I cant believe she is 4 today. My sweet little curious George. I love you.
Here is the birth story I posted the day after she was born 4 years ago, on my previuos blog. Man have I really been blogging that long?
8:10am, L and I are doing well they have her in the nursery right now checking her over. She is such a good baby. She hardly cries at all, she even got a shot yesterday and didn't cry. She is very mellow. H absolutely loves her, yesterday the nurses were working on L and H said mommy I want my baby back. L is not mine and Hubby's she is Hs. Step Son has warmed up to her now and even wrote a story about her for his homework assignment yesterday.
I thought I would post my birth story for those of you who wanted to know what is going on so here goes-
Monday 3:15- I had my regular dr 37 week appt, and my blood pressure was 154/78, so it was a little high and I had a trace of protein in my urine. My doctor sent me to Labor and Delivery to have a non-stress test and get some blood test run. I had H with me and could not bring her to labor and delivery, so I called Hubby to come get her. It took him about an hour to get her, so I sat and waited in the waiting room with her asking me are we going to have L today mommy. She was really ready. I finally got upstairs to labor and delivery, and my pressure had risen to 178/96. Really high. They were very concerned, they planned on doing the c-section right away. They sent off all my blood work, and put me in a room to wait for the results. They continued to monitor my blood pressure and although it was still a little on the high side, it was coming down. They hooked me up to the monitors, and I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes. I think L had just decided she was ready! My labs cam back and my potassium level was low, so they started me on potassium and checked me I was 1 centimeter dilated at that point, but my blood pressure was staying consistent, so they decided to keep me overnight and keep giving me the potassium and wait until my doctor could see me in the morning. So I waited contracting all night.
Tuesday 8:30am- My doctor arrived and checked my cervix was 2 centimeters and my blood pressure was at 140/90, so we decided today was the day and he scheduled us for 11:00am c-section. At this point I started to get really really nervous! But I was so ready to see her. They came in and gave me my epidural about 10:30(man was that horrible). They came and wheeled me back to surgery at about 11:15, and at 12:11 Lainey arrived. She weighed 7lbs 11oz, and I though my goodness if she had gone three more weeks she would have been huge.
We are now doing well and my blood pressure is down to 140/70 still a little high but good. We are glad she is here!
