12-6-2008 - My Birth Story

My mood while writing this blog:
surreal!

June 11, 2008

Well Aubrey Rose…you were coming into this world, ready or not!! June 6, 2008…Happy Birthday pretty girl!!! You are here!!! I am having a very hard time while typing that, because I’m not looking down at you in your Boppy. Here’s how it all happened. I went for a routine non stress test on Friday morning at 9:00 am. You sounded great, and had a "reactive" non stress test! J But, mommy’s blood pressure was sort of high. So, Dr. Lewis wanted me to get some blood work done. The nurse was certain that things would be just fine…but Grammie had some sort of "feeling" and came over to wait for the blood results. So, the results came back fine, but then she took my blood pressure again and it went a little higher. They wanted to admit me to just check on the blood pressure for the rest of the day and night. By 2:00, I was admitted, and getting nervous because the doctor was talking about possibly inducing me, which means, making you come out SOONER rather than LATER!!! Daddy and Grammie were right there by my side…but baby girl, I was scared. I knew that you were ok in there, but I was terrified that something was going to happen to you because of my blood pressure. I wanted to cry Aubrey…because I was so scared…but I knew that as your mommy, I had to stay strong and keep my blood pressure low. So, about 5 hours later, the doctor said, ok, we are going to induce you tomorrow, so you can eat tonight! I was happy because I was soooo hungry. So Daddy and Grampy went to get me some PIZZA…mmmmm!! Then, at 7:30, the doctor came in and said, "Well, the good news is that your pizza is here…the bad news is that you can’t eat it because you are going in for a C-Section right now!!" Baby girl, I was meeting you that night whether I thought you were ready or not…but I agreed and completely trusted Dr. Lewis, and signed the paper to go ahead for the surgery!! I’m not going to lie…I was terrified. But Daddy was right there by my side the ENTIRE time! So, Daddy put on his scrubs, and Tina (our nurse) was right there by my side too! They prepped me for you to come out, did the surgery, then…the pressure I felt when you came out was simply surreal! Daddy was holding my hand, and then…I heard your tears! ……………………….. I just cannot tell you what that felt like. There you were. 45 minutes ago, inside mommy’s safe belly…now you were on the table ready to face the world! Daddy went over and cut your umbilical cord, and…life begins for Aubrey Rose! Baby, you have no idea what mommy is feeling right now…because let me tell you…you ….are simply…perfect! So, here I am, 5 days later, at home. Not with you…yet anyways. I had to stay in the hospital for 4 days, and daddy stayed there right by my side. Aubrey, your daddy is simply amazing. And the best part is, you already know that! When your daddy talks to you, you move you head and listen to him…when you opened your eyes and looked at us for the first time…it is a feeling we both felt that we will NEVER EVER forget! So, unfortunately, you are staying at the hospital for a little while longer to get strong and ready to come home with mommy and daddy…but we are visiting you lots, and mommy and daddy get to hold you too! You seem so content when we hold you. ::sigh:: I love you so much. Your lips are so perfectly formed, and they are so full just like daddy’s. I think you might have mommy’s cheek bones, but we arent sure yet. Well Baby girl, mommy is going to go shower so we can go see you again. Your known as the "fiesty one" in the Special Care Nursery!! You do NOT like the tubes in your nose…you do NOT like to get your temperature taken, and you do NOT like to be poked and prodded!!! And you know what…I don’t blame you!! You are our strong soldier baby girl…and I don’t want you to stop fighting…because you will be home in no time, and we cannot wait! Ok, time to go see you in a bit…love you with all of me~

This is the sweetest thing I have ever read. Make sure you have a copy to put in her baby book.

I am praying for her and that she will get to come home very soon.

Keep us updated!
