37 Weeks 2 Days!

6 LBS. 3OZ.

So.. here is the story...it all started on Saturday 11/17.. I was sick with a cold and was running a fever... well my mom had planned a surprise shower for me which I did get to attend, during the shower I felt sick as a dog so when we got home I called my doctor.. he didnt return the call until about 1am b/c he was in a surgery.. well he tells me to head to the doctor since I was running a fever of 102, I get to the hospital and it is pouring down raining! and the doors to go in weren't working.. so I had to walk around the whole hospital in the rain! So I get to the Labor & Delivery floor.. they check me and Im now running a fever of 103.. they put me on an IV and the monitors.. well I spent the night .. who would of thought it would turn into a 10 day stay! Well on Wednesday they did a 24 hr urine collection.. it came back that I had Toxemia.. so the doctor went in and told me I would get induced that next morning.. it was about midnight when they started me.. at 8 am they gave me the Pitocin.. around 12 I was feeling it! By the way my BP had been high since I went in so they kept checking on it!.. So there I am walking around with the contractions b/c it was more comfortable than to take them laying down.. so here I am Thanksgiving day.. I get to 5cm and I take an IV for the pain..after that everything is kind of blurred! I remember my water breaking sometime at night.. I was already 9 1/2 cm but the doctor had to perform a c-section because the babys heart had dropped twice.. All I remember was them rushing to do everything.. I kind of remember getting the Epidural.. well anyways next thing I know I am surrounded by lights.. and then Jose walks in .. a few seconds later I heard her cry.. it was amazing.. I remember Jose got up.. and then came back with her but I couldn't move my head so I saw the top of her head thru the corner of my eye.. and Jose crying... after that they took me to recovery.. where I started shaking out of control I remember my BP was super high.. and they put warm blankets on me.. that was the most horrible feeling ever.. well at about 4 am they took me to the room.. my mom and hubby were there.. I was still numb.. but at least the shaking stopped! 3 hrs later they brought her in... my heart dropped .. and needless to say I fell in love!

July 26, 2007
Well.. two days ago I found out we are having a beautiful little girl.. Im so excited and happy, the sex didnt matter to me. Im just glad to know its healthy. Still trying to figure out a name.. but its sooo hard... everything is good .. theres just one thing that makes me loose my sleep at night and I dont know how to deal with it.. not only does it make me very angry to think about it, but it also gets me really depressed... haven't felt much movement today i guess she is a sleepy head.. Im scared of giving birth...I dont know I guess I'll take it as it comes ... =D

I ERASED MY WHOLE DIARY THINGY BECAUSE... WHEN I READ IT.. IT JUST REMINDED ME OF THE BAD TIMES .. AND I WANT TO BE HAPPY! .. SO FROM NOW ON I START FRESH AND JUST WRITE HAPPY THOUGHTS AND GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPEN... WELL AT LEAST TRY TO! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE ADVICE, JULIE, JESSI, SEVEN, MYFIRSTBUNDLE.. EVERYONE.. !
