Birth Story.

Hello everyone I know I've been gone nad I'm probably going to make this very detailed so I hope you're in for a long story lol. So monday morning I go to the hospital at midnight and they put me and a huge nice labor and delivary room. They tell me to take a shower so I do and I have to use this anti-bacterial soap. So they put me in bed and I feel out all the paper work nad answer all the questions. I feel like it's taking forvever! Then one of the nurses comes in nad says we're having a very busy night so it'll be alittle while before we can induce you becuase there's no one here to watch you. I had my mom both my sisters and my boyfriend there by the way. And I could't eat anything but ice chips which sucked! So it's like 4:00 am and Shawn tells me I need to sleep because I need to save up my strength. So I role over and sleep for 30 minutes. Then the nurse comes in at 4:30 and wakes me up to put in the IV. Well my veins role or something so the ended up having to stick me 3 times and I got sick nad puked after the 2nd time and my mom got VERY angry and so a different nurse came in nad numbed it adn then did it. I felt much better lol. But then they put the tablet under my cervix. That hurt so bad! So anyway after the first dose the contractions started but they were very light nad random. So I slept for alittle while and then the contractions started picking up. Especially after they put the 2nd dose in. They came in nad checked me nad I was only 2 cms adn in ALOT of pain! So I asked for some pain medicine. They gave me stadol which took the edge off of the contraction and I fell asleep. Then I decided I wanted the epidural when I was about 4 cms and my doctor had already broken my water. So I get that and everything is great. That's about at noon. They come checke me at one nad I'm 5cms. Then my doctor comes in at around 1:45 pm and checks me and I'm dialeted to a 6 plus. So at this point I'm almost there and I've been in labor for 10 hours. She goes to put the little internal moniter in to moniter the contractions and all of a sudden the baby's heart rate drops. So they're trying to put all this stuff in to listen to the heart beat and I was freaking out and my mom was trying to calm me down. I was trying really hard becuase I knew I needed to for the baby. My doctor was ordering and emergency c-section when the baby's heart started going back up. My doctor still felt very uncomfortable though so they hurried up nad roled me to the operating room. I picked my mom to be with me. If Shawn would've went he would've passed out to see his girlfriends guts hanging out. But I was heart broken becuse I know I can never have a bab vaginally which is what I wanted to do so badly. But the first time I heard her cry I knew it was worth it. I knoew that all the pain and recovery I would go through was worth it. Ezra Michelle Burkett was born November 27, 2007 at 2:14 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 8 ozs. and was 19 and 1/4 inches long. She's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. and I'm loving every second of being a mother.

Hello everyone. My name is Samara and my future husband is Shawn and we are expecting a baby. It's exciting nad VERY scary. It deffinitly wasn't planned. But we're hoping to have a girl. Well I'm not sure what I was supposed to put here anyway so yeah. Okay. Bye.

April 17,2007

This morning I woke up and went to the bathroom. When I wiped there was I tiny bit of blood. I was scared but waited till this morning to tell my mom. I went to the bathroom again because she wanted to see but it was less blood than last night. I've been cramping for quite some time now so she decided it's better to be safe than sorry and take me to the emergency room even though the blood was hardly there at all. Well first I waited for about ten minutes after I filled out the paper work and I was despretaly trying to get a hold of Shawn (the baby's father). Well I was unsuccessful and very frustrated. He was in a dentist appointment. So they called my name and my mom, grandma, and I followed a man back to a room. He gave me one of those stupid little hospital slip things and told me that when he left I needed to put it on but I could keep my panties on. I was thinking thank God I don't have to have a pelvic exam! But any way. I put the slip thing on and set on the bed. The nurse came in and said that a doctor would be with us shortly. I waited for about 5 minutes and then the doctor showed up. He asked me about how light the blood was and about the cramping and everytihng and then said "Well we're going to take some blood and then do a reguelar ultra sound and a pelvic ultra sound which will mean you'll need a cathader. After that I'll do a pelvic exam." I got mad because #1 I've never been to the hospital for anything but to visit people and #2 I'd never had a cathader! It just sounds painful! #3....two words -Pelvis Exam-. I hate them with a PASSION! Well the doctor left and the nurse came in and started taking my blood....and never stopped! I swear she filled like 7 viles of blood nad I was just sitting there watching her. She left the plastic cathader in my arm and taped the tube to it just incase I needed and I.V for anything. Well then they're like okay let's get you down to the pelvic room..It's just next door. I was thinking "Oh joy...". So they put the cathader in which made me want to kick the nurse in the face! It was horrible and I NEVER want another one! So the ultra sound guy came in and said "Okay first we're going to fill you bladder with this steralized water." What?! Fill my bladder! I already feel like I want to pee every where! So he fills my bladder which makes me MISERABLE! He starts looking at everthing. I see my TINY little baby and its TINY little heart and I wish Shawn was there. But the guy couldn't find my left ovary! So he's like "Okay well we're gonna have to do the pelvic ultra sound any way. I can't find your left ovary." I said "It's in there I promise. You don't need to do a thing." Well that didn't work. He says "Okay insert this in there and then I'll take over." So I did....And it HURT! But then I got to listen to the baby's little heart beat and evrything I almost cried but I think it was more the pain... SO that guy left with the pictures and I said Okay I'm done. My mom says "You still have to go through the pelvic exam." Well that's when I started crying. I just wanted to go home and sleep! So she got up nad started comforting me and everything and handed me her phone and said "Try to call Shawn one more time." Well I called his house...No answer so I called his moms work. I got a hold of her and told her what was going on and she got worried so she says"I'll tell Shawn to call you as soon as he gets back." Well we hung up and 2 minutes later the phone rings and it's Shawn at his house. He's like "Where the hell are you?! Are you alright?! Aren't you supposed to be in school?!" I'm like I'm at the hospital. He sasy "What! Why?!" I'm like "I started spotting last night." --"What you started spawning?"--"No Shawn SPOTTING!"--"Okay what does that mean?" I said bleeding. He says it's okay baby you'll be alright. I wish I could be ther just remember something I was like what? he was like I love you. Then we got off the phone. The doctor cam in and said. It looks like progression is actually really good. Bleeding within the first three months is really actually normal. But if it gets worse until you go to your doctor then come back here. He's like the heartbeat is a little slow 119 but he said that normally happens and will speed up. He says there is a 50% chance you could miscarry but everyone holds that risk in the first few months. You're going to be on bed rest until you see your doctor on the 26th which means no school. You also can't have intercourse or run or jump or any sort of thing like that. He said I'm not going to give you a pelvic exam becuase everything seems okay and the blood is probably just your body cleansing it's self. So that's how the stoy goes. I'll keep you all updated. Oh by the way. I'm 6 weeks and 5 days and I'm due aroun December 6, 2007 :)

April 19,2007

Nothing really happened today. I went to the doctor to get my blood taken and get a urine sample so they could make sure that my hcg (?) levels were rising normally. But it is me and Shawns 9 month anniversry. Yeah maybe not long to you but longest to me. But later today he's going to bring me food since we can't go out since I'm on bed rest. So he told me he'd bring me food nad we could watch a movie at my house. I haven't been to school in 3 DAYS! I'm SO BORED! It's really really killing me! I wish they wouls have given me the pictures to my u/s but next time I get one I'll put it up on here if I can. None of my friends have called to make sure I'm okay. Just Alex, he's always been better than all the rest though. I guess they haven't noticed I've been gone for 3 days. Shows what great "friends" I have. But Alex really cares. He's been my best friend for over a year now. But Shawn brought it to my attention when he asked if they called. He hates my friends he's always thought they've treated me like crap and they do. He only really like Alex. But I'm probably boring you with my blah blah I have no friends blah blah crap lol. So that's just what happened today : ) OH by the way! ALL BLEEDING HAS STOPPED! No worries : ) It stopped the day I got back from the hospital : )

April 20, 2007

Well I have some pretty bad news. Yesterday when I got blood taken they found out my hormone levels are only going up half as much as they should be. The OBGYN also didn't like the fact that my babies heart is a little slow. I'm so scared. I'm on VERY strict bed rest. I'm cramping so bad. Last night I started bleeding a TINY bit while my boyfriend was over but It's not spotting. The reason I've bled is becuase I have a REALLY bad urinary tract infection. Both times. So that's some better news. But the nurse told my mom on the phone to dat that what it sounds like is I'm trying to miscarry. My mommy is so upset. When I had the first u/s she was in there with me and heard the little heart beat. She just grew really attached knowing that her tiny grand baby is in there. GOD I'm crying again! After my mom told us that the hormone thing REALLY wasn't good. Shawn got so upset. There's just one thing I can ask from you guys. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY LITTLE BABY! My next u/s is on the 25th so please pray.

April 25, 2007

So today I heard some incredable news! My baby's little heartbeat went from 119 to 171 in like a week! I guess all that eating healthy must have paid off. But the u/s guy said that it probably means my hormone levels have gone up as well. I got a picture. I'm not quite sure if I can put it on here but I think my friend can on his computer. Shawn was in there with me and I had to pee SO BAD! Finally the guy was like Oh my goodness your bladder is so full you're squishin your baby. Go pee just enough to make yourself feel better but don't let it all out. So I did. I came back and him and the nurse were like Wow! Your bladder is still REALLY full. And then I started to have to pee again. So he said okay I'll hurry up. So he did nad then I swear I peed for the longest time in my life! lol. Shawn loved it though seeing the little flicker of a heartbeat and everything. He was asking the stupidest questions. It was so cute. Well that's all. Thank you to those of you who kept my baby in your thoughts and prayers. Looks like it worked. :D

June, 15 2007

So what's up everyone! Nothing really interesting has happened. I had a dreaded pelvic exam on the 4th. Progression is exellent! I can't say me and Shawn get along to well right now due to my horrible hormones! I find out what it is on the 26th so I'll make sure to post that! I'm praying really really hard that it will be a girl. But if I get a boy I won't be upset.I'm not really showing yet. I guess you could say that I am a TINY bit. I'm 5 days away from my 17th week.I'm getting more nad more excited as the weeks pass by.I can feel the baby move. It just feels like little bubbly flutters lol. It's AWESOME! lol I'm just SO excited! Well congragualtions to all the mommies to be! I love you and pray for you all!

June 23, 2007

Well hello everyone. I hope you're all doing okay. Only 3 more days till I find out what it is. I'm praying it's a little girl. Nothing has really happened although I'm positive I felt it kick the other day...but maybe it's all in my head lol. I got a job..kinda. I babysit a 5 year old 2 nights a week. First my mom said no and then I threw a fit....I know I need to stop that. But she was just worried and I told her that everything would be fine and the mother of the 5 year old is going to call my mom. The reason I threw a fit is because I thought she'd be proud of me for trying to get money for the baby but she wasn't. And I guess ever since I got pregnant I've felt that she's never proud of me. But I know she is. All I've been doing is cleaning out the room that I'm going to share with the baby and Shawn is helping ...or doing most of it. Well good luck everyone.

June 26,2007....17.2 weeks.

So I found out today that I'm only 17.2 weeks and my due date is actually Dec. 2. I also found out what it is...It's a.....GIRL! I'm SO excited! She was moving around ALOT! And we got ALOT of pictures! But I got my dream :D I think she was gettin mad because the lady was pushin on her lol. But she wasn't settiling down lol. She weighs 6 ounces. And she's not shy. When the lady was tryin to figure out what she was the baby spread her legs wide open. lol. She also kicked me alot to! But ta daaa! lol I'll write everyone who wrote me today, tomorrow. I would do it now but my mom wants the computer. So bye!

August 18,2007

Well Nothing really interesting has happened for a while now. I seem to be having troubles with my boyfriend becuase he doesn't get the fact that I want him with me all the time. Either that or he doesn't care. But I'm excited because tomorrow is our 1 year anniversry. So it's really exciting. I started school on the 16th. The first day was really awkward because when ever I walked into a class room everyone stopped talking and stared at me until I sat down. It was pretty weird. I've also had a really hard time becuase they gave me a bottom locker. It's REALLY hard for me to get in to. Some people help me but sometimes there is no one around. And I'm going to be getting bigger so I'm not looking foward to the locker situation. I also get deathly hungry during the day. By the time lunch hits I'm running out the door and going to MacDonalds! My teachers are really cool about it though. Espescially my creative writing teacher! She is so excited for me lol. She can't stop touching my belly nad stuff. It's so funny. Well I'll keep you updated. I only have 101 days to go :D

October 25, 2007.

Okay so yesterday I went to the doctor and I got tested for Strep B I hated it! But then she was like do you want me to check your cervix and I was like sure, why not. So she did. And I'm 1 cm dialeted! As opposed to being fully shut when I went to the hospital at 32 weeks. I know It could stay 1 cm for like weeks and weeks but I'm still SO excited! 5 more weeks to go! Good luck to all you mommas!

October 30, 2007

Okay so today I went to the doctor nad she checked me nad told me that last week I wasn't actually 1 cm I was just the tip of her finger. This week I'm deffinitly 1 cm. dialeted and 50% effaced. She told me that if I don't have her before my due date that on the veryday of my due date I'll come in at midnight and they'll give me the medicine to induce me. She also said (because I asked about birth control) that before I leave the hospital she's going to get me the deppo shot and then at my 6 weeks check up she'll insert the little birth control rod into my arm. It sounds painful! But that's all for this week.

So t
