| 31-7-2009 - My baby girl!! | My mood while writing this blog:TIRED and in love :) |
Posted pictures up at the end of my pictures :)
Well ladies, after waiting for 41 weeks and a day, I went into false labor on the morning of the 28th with my induction still set for midnight that night. Spent the morning at the hospital then we got sent home since my cervix was not dialating nor softening. I was told to get as much rest as possible and call back at 10pm to ensure my room was available for my midnight induction. Went home, got NO sleep since I was contacting all night and it was over 100 degrees out, making it very hot in our house. So I called in at 10pm, they told me I could come in early so we got down there by 11pm. I was 1cm dialated, 60% effaced and stationed at -1 when I began the induction. So the pitocin was given to me via IV. At 1:30am in the middle of a huge contraction POP, my water broke on its own!! There was SOOOOOOO much of it. Anyways after that the contractions were coming FAST and FREQUENT and boy was I in a lot of pain! Took me til about 4am to get to 3cm and thats when the night shift nurse told me `you either get your epidural now or you have to wait til 7am cuz the anestesiologist has somewhere else to be til 7` ummm.... ok? So my mom and her decided for me admist me having another enormous contraction that they would do my epidural at a 3. I remember telling the nurse `I just dont want my labor to get stuck and not progress` and her telling me, don`t worry, it won`t, so I get the epidural. I take a nap, my man takes a nap and even moms lays down to catch some z`s. Around 9am my girlfriends come down and my best friends mom (my 2nd mom) and I have a whole support system watching my contractions on the monitor. Let me skip the UGLY details (and im skipping A LOT, i mean a LOT about how it took me EIGHT AND A HALF hours to go from a 3 to a 4, and my baby`s heartrate kept dropping, I projectile vomited all over the daytime nurse whos birthday it happened to be, I had to have the oxgen mask on, they had to keep stopping the pitocin and things were looking grim, im still skipping a LOT, it was reeaaaal ugly) I was given two `last chances to progress` before at 1:45 my doctor comes in and says `Do you want to know my opinion? You can either try to contract on your own without pitocin and risk your baby`s heartrate continuously going down and not coming back up or you can get an emergency c-section right now.` So i started bawling my eyes out because a C-section has always been my biggest fear, but I couldn`t risk my baby`s well being in any way so through the tears I reluctantly agreed and my girlfriends and my two moms all held hands and wished me well as my man threw on the coverall outfit and hat and mask and shoes they gave him and they gave me 2 shots to drink and hella medicine thru my epidural hole in my back. Within minutes I`m on the operating room table, SOOO numb I cant feel my arms or anything from the shoulders down. I`m looking in my man`s eyes, he tells me not to panic and I`m shaking so hard my body is like its own earthquake. All the while I`m barfing off the table all this bile and nastiness and crying my fucking eyes out. Before I could even think twice im smelling burning skin and my man has this horrified look on his face before he looks at me and says `that looks like that hurts` and I am so panicky, I close my eyes and try to focus on not shaking so much and very shortly I feel a huge amount of pressure be relieved from my abdomen and they hold my daughter up in the air for about 2 seconds and then she is gone, all i hear are newborn cries and dad is gone and baby is gone and im layin there on the table crying my eyes out cuz i couldnt even memorize her face and i keep hearing comments like `boy she sure has some lungs on her` and `she`s got dad`s nose!` and `there`s the second placenta!` and i lay there and lay there and cry and then finally its over and i see my man wheeling a bassinet with the baby in it out of the operating room and nurses are wheeling me out and people are saying congratulations and I still havent seen my daughter and im so out of it its crazy and we get back to my room and my girls and my 2 moms and my man are crowded around baby and im stuck in the bed completely paralyzed and everyone is telling me good job and i just want to lay eyes on my daughter and i cant even keep my damn eyes open at that point, and people are telling me to breastfeed and one eye rolls left and one eye rolls right and i say `I cant feel my hands or my breasts so how am i supposed to do that?` and then i curb out. It wasnt tell at least a hour later I semi-snapped out of it and took a good look at my beautiful baby girl and talked to my man about how it went. He tells me when the doc cut me open they cut right into my daughters forehead, so as I sit here and write this with my babygirl passed out on my lap, she has two bandages over her right eye where she was cut, not too bad but man, are you SERIOUS? and becuase they cut her in the head they didnt even let my man cut the umbilical cord cuz they were movin too fast to make sure her head was ok. So to conclude this, as i sit in the mother-baby unit of the hospital, i had a last minute C-section, and it was horrible, but this little baby girl that i have on my lap is the most beautiful thing i have ever laid eyes on ever in my life. I have a long road to recovery but the nurses here are amazing, like truly truly amazing and now that its over with and im sore as hell but finally a mommy, it was all worth it. More details are available if anyone wants to know, cuz man, it is a STOOOOOORY but im tired, and I see this as a night of opportunity to maybe sleep for the first time in days since last night i stayed up just staring at my daughter :)
