Juliette Elisabeth's Birth Day...(Just added more pics!!!)
Here are some pics
Hello! I am back...![]()
Well there really isn't too much to tell you.
03/20: Sunday
I 'nested' like a mad woman on Sunday night, drove poor Brian crazy. I was cleaning the floors in the bathroom and freaking out over the slightest thing.
03/21: Monday
Woke up at 5am with contractions 20 minutes apart. I finally called in to work and told them I was too tired to come in. At 10am, they stopped. I was so mad! I had an 11.30 Dr's appt. I was still only 30% effaced and 1cm dialated. SHe said to go for the biophysical profile on Thursday and if I hadn't had her by then, go to Labor and Delivery to be induced. Then she said, no, just go tomorrow morning and be induced. Then she said it's only 12, she felt bad that I ws so uncomfortable~go up there now. It was early and I still may be able to have the baby today (if the induction worked like it was supposed to...) I burst out crying and hugged her. I was hysterical. I ws there alone and Brian was in LIC at work. So they made teh arrangements and I called him, and headed home to get my bags.
Brian met me at home. We get to the hospital at exactly 1.38. COntractions started again. Get inside at 2. They are 20 minutes apart. Then 15, then 5, them 1 minute and 45 seconds all within a matter on an hour! I go for a sono (within this hour and 45 minutes) and teh baby looks fine. We get back to the room and they are one on top of teh other, but bearable. It's now 4.40, and they put in the Cervadil....Holy (*^)%%^! I was begging for drugs by 5.40. They gave me something called Stadol. By 6 something, I was begging for more. Stadol is amazing. I slept through most of labor. They had to give me an epidural though because I woke up screaming bewteen contractions...best part is I don't remember any of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you get a chance, remember teh name of teh drug. It was great!![]()
So I get teh epidural and it's about 8:40 and I wake up. I am like ugh...why do I feel contraction only on my right side? IT ONLY HALF NUMBED ME! I was begging the nurse to fix it. By that time, I was fully dialated and tehy couldn't do anything. A little after nine they said that the Dr was going to have me start pushing. About 20 after, I started pushing and she was here at 9.42.
During delivery though I tore my cervix and had to have a bunch of internal stitches, and I have two cuts for teh episiotomy~sorry if it's too much info. It took her a while to stitch it up, but after looking on Google, I see it's not that uncommon.
I feel great though! Baby is beautiful, I am so in love with her. She is such a good baby, she is a great sleeper, but a horrible eater. She doesn't wake up for feedings and it kills me to have to struggle with her. She lost 11ozs already, which is very concerning, but I am bringing her back for a weigh in tomorrow and please pray she put some back on. She is a little peanut. As soon as I get her Easter pics I will post them. I have some great ones from teh hospital too in her homecoming outfit.
Thank you everyone for being concerned when you didn't hear from me!![]()
