Logan-David`s birthstory

I arrived at the hospital at 8 am very scared and sceptical about my upcoming c-section. I had both my girls via vaginal delivery and was not sure what to antisipate. I was taken into the prep room where the nurses began talking me through what was going to happen. My husband was given his change of clothes and disappeared as they began my iv. They stuck me 6 times because my veins kept sliding and on the last shot the nurse just kept pushing around until she finally got it. This did not boad well as I was already petrified. They then took me back to the operating room. The anostisiologist seemed nice. Which I was quick to find out ment he was a complete idiot. He shot me back 9 times trying to `numb the area` and then tried 4 times to place the spinal. Missing each time and causing me great pain. After 35 minutes they called in another anostisiologist who then poked me some more after another 15 minutes went by they finally placed my spinal and I began to get numb. That`s when they aloud my husband to come in. He held my hand every moment and next thing I new there was this weight lifted of my lungs and I could hear my little son crying. As the doctor held him up for David to see my baby boy began to pee all over the doctor. Then as they took him to wrap him so I could see him he pooped all over the nurse and the or floor. (My husband told me all of this which now seems hilarious to me.) I was aloud to kiss him and David held him for a few minutes. Then they were both rushed out and I was put under. I don`t remember much after that.


When I woke up I was in recovery and quickly was moved into my room. Shortly there after we discovered my entire back was black and blue and dripping with blood. Nurses started rushing into my room and covering it with gauze pads. They changed my sheets which were also soaked. The nurses continued to monitor the bleeding for the first two days. After which it finally stopped but then my blood pressure became low. 83/41. I was put on total bed rest and only aloud to use the rest room with the assistance of a nurse or Tech. My husband stayed with me at the hospital since I wasn`t alloud to lift the baby out of his bassinet. I had to stay at the hospital for additional days and even now that I am at home I am on alot of restrictions. I love my son and wouldn`t change any of what happened since the outcome was finally having him in my arms. However I will be thinking long and hard before my husband and I ever go on this adventure again.


Being home for the last couple of days has been wonderful. Logan is such a happy baby and he is always watching his sisters to see what they are doing. It`s incredible watching the girls interact with him. They both love holding him and when they think I am not looking I am constantly catching them singing to him. Plus David is amazing with him. He is always telling him stories and talking to him about `the important things.` Our family has been so blessed by the addition of Logan. Through everything I don`t think I have ever been happier in my life. I may be a little sleep deprived but I don`t think anything could steel my joy. God has truely been watching over our family. We are all so thankful.

Jonathan was brought into this world at 10:04 am on Decemeber the 19th, 2011. Enter this world at 8lbs 4oz, 22 inches long. I was unsuccessful at recieving my spinal epidoral for my c-section so they ended up having to give me general anastisia. My poor son had recieved to much of the medication and had an apgar of 3 at birth. Purple and unresponsive the medical team resesitated him right away. He was taken straight off to the NICU. Unfortunately as he was struggling to breath I was loosing a lot of blood on the table.

When I woke in my room I was so scared, my strength was gone, and the pain had already began to sink in. They gave me a morphine drip and told me that the team of doctors were still loooking him over. My husband stayed by his side as my mother tried reassuring me. Slowly people began giving me bits and pieces of information about what had happened. All I wanted to do was get to the NICU to be with my son. I begged the nurses to help me see him, they were kind enough to wheel me down, but with my lack of strenght and blood loose I was to light headed and nauseus to hold him. All I could do was sit by his bedside and tough his little hand. It was so unreal. After a brief 15 minutes I kissed my husband and baby boy good bye, the nurses took me back up to my room and lifted me into bed. They ordered me some soup and juice to try to aid in stregthening me.

The next morning nurses were in taking more blood to get a hemoglobin count. They explained that my husband was still down with our son and that the genetic team was currently with him. He was on a cardiac monitor and IV's. They needed me to start pumping right away as he had now gone 24 hours and they felt giving him colestrum would really aid in strengthening him. I asked them to have my husband join me after the doctors left. They had now decided to also test him for noonan's syndrome. He had an EKG and some more blood work. My husband came to talk with me and I decided to have a second go at getting to see him. The nurses helped me to a chair and wheeled me to his bedside a second time. My husband handed him to me and finally I had my son in my arms. He was so skinny. His length making his weight appear like nothing. We were told then that he had passed his hearing test and that his EKG came back good. He began to turn into me and his nurse said I could try to feed. He nuzzled in, latched but then let go. Nuzzled again and for a few minutes held on. But then, off he went to sleep. I held him for almost an hour before my exhaustion took over and my husband escorted me back to my room. We ate together and then recieved an upsetting update. Jonathan Donald's soft pallet was swelling. My husband rushed down to be with him as they ran more test. I sat in my bed waiting not so patiently for news. Finally Davidf came back and said his brain ultrasound looked good and that everything was going to be ok. I asked him why he didn't call me to tell me and he began to laugh. The doctor had just gotten there to do his circumsision which they do bedside in the NICU. Lol, guess daddy didn't want to watch that. It was nice having him in my room making me laugh and smile. He even climbed into bed next to me and I snuggled in and finally got some rest.

By the end of the third day we were informed that the baby was doing well enough he could join me in my room. It was so wonderful having him bedside. Being able to comfort him, hold his little hands and kiss his little head. The next morning the nurses and doctors argued over whether to give me more blood or send me home. Sending me home won out and we were able to spend Christmas Eve and day with all 4 of our children around our tree. We may not have all the answers yet and yes there's probably a rough road ahead but we love all of our children regardless of the challanges life presents them.
