Ok, so I am on the hospital computer right now, I was dying to see what my dear sweet husband posted at home without me. Grateful that there are no shots too revealing...and besides the fact that he spelled our sweet new daughters name wrong he did pretty good. Yesterday was such a CRAZY day. We have in at 7:30 am. The Dr. came in at 8:30, I took a Cytotek and within 10 minutes or so was having consistent contractions. At 9:30 they broke my water and I decided to walk the halls for a while. After walking and finding the pain to be coming increasingly intense headed back to the room to think about an epidural. Well, by the time she checked me at like 11 I was 8 cm and 100% effaced. She then informed me it was
too late for an epidural....COME AGAIN!?!?!? So, with a few tears shed and a missive amount of panic they quickly called the nurse in to try a spinal block. He made it in, but by the time I actually got a shot it was time to push. I pushed through a few contractions with no relief and then FINALLY for about the last 15 minutes I felt a bit better. All I have to say is WOW. Most intense 30 minutes of my life!
Makenna Sage was born at 12:03 and is in perfect health as far as we can tell. She is sweet and I have yet to really hear her cry.
As for the fun stuff....she is OFFICIALLY THE NEW YEARS BABY OF VERMILLION!
I just had the Public Relations lady at the hospital talk to me about the press release and a family picture in the morning. They have a prize basket for us and will be announcing it in the news paper and on the Radio as well. Kinda fun! My best new years yet!!!
We are home now and hopefully these pictures give you a better idea of what she looks like. Love to all!
