Autumn's Birth Story
I convinced my midwife to induce me on my due date, because I had gestational diabetes. So on Monday, Dec. 10th, 2007, at 7:30am, I went to the hospital. They used gel to induce me, so I got that about 8:30am, and then I walked around for about 4 hours straight. At about 1:05, my midwife checked me to see if I had progressed, and I was now 4 1/2 cm dilated, so she decided to break my water and admit me. My contractions came really hard at that point... two minutes apart. I decided to see how long I could go before pain medication. But around 4:15, I couldn't take anymore, and asked for an epidural, which by the way hurt like hell. But it was so worth it, I was in lala land after it. At about 6pm, I was only 6 cms dilated, so they decided to give me pitocin, which I didn't notice any painful effects, thanks to the epidural. But her heart rated started to slow, so they gave me oxygen, which helped. Then about 7:30 my midwife came in and checked me, and I was 10cms, so she said it was time to push. Around 8pm, they called in a different doc to do an episiotimy, but I was determined not to have one, so I pushed like crazy. And I had Autumn at 8:11pm. It didn't feel like 40 minutes of pushing, it seriously felt like 10 minutes of pushing. I found out later, they were talking about doing a c-section since about 6pm, because they were worried about my little angel, but she is a fighter!! Overall I had a great labor and delivery. I was so worried she would be a large baby because of the gestational diabetes, but she only weighed 6lbs, 15oz, and measured 19 3/4inches. I am so happy!! I love her more than words can describe!
I love being a mom!!!!!

You guys want to see stretch marks.... take a look at mine (as of 11/28/07). And I have used so many types of lotion and nothing helps... My mom says it is hereditary. It all depends on how your skin stretches. And this is only my stomach, you should see my hips, thighs, and above my breasts! But the ones on my stomach hurt so bad!! I even have them farther down and deeper in my skin!! I keep telling everyone that my little angel is worth every one of them!
So count your blessings if you only have a few!!
P.S. They didn't start showing up til after 7 months!
Walking with Daddy
My little newborn feet,
With ten sweet tiny toes.
Daddy loves to hold them,
Imagining how they'll grow.
He'll watch these tiny feet
Soon find their way around
Holding on, letting go,
Taking steps and falling down.
Daddy will help me learn,
Independence from his hand.
He will teach my little feet,
They too can walk and stand.
I'll grow to walk in Daddy's shoes,
I'll feel so big like him.
I will find it silly too,
To watch my Daddy grin.
One day I'll be much bigger,
And Daddy and I will walk.
Spending time together,
Our time to share and talk.
For now my little feet,
Will keep up the best they can.
I love to walk with Daddy,
And hold my Daddy's hand.

hi, congrats on the baptism! i bet autumn was beautiful!
well, the gripe water helped a little but i eventually took ems to the drs and they sent off a stool sample and diagnosed her lactose intollerant.
she is prescribed colief drops and i'm diary free but within a couple weeks her whole quality of life improved. shes happy and smiley now instead of constant crying in pain.
its hard gettin out as her new feeding regieme is akward.
I feed her every 3hours but before i can i've gotta express some milk and mix her drops in (which r kept in the fridge but need to be mixed in warm fresh expressed milk!) so as u can imagine wen i go out with her it must be within this 3 hourly period lol!
i don't mind tho and the dr said she doesn't think she'll have it for life, its just because of her immature little digestive system.
i'm just happy i kno what was making her so unhappy and i'm enjoying new happy emily!
