It's been a while . . .








I'm home by myself now with my precious little baby and while I should be sleeping when she's sleeping, it's a little hard during the day. But, that leaves me a little time to blog, so we'll start back up from here!

I had an amazing pregnancy, with a little high blood pressure towards the end, but everything else was so wonderful. I loved it. However, it made me think my delivery was going to be hard and boy was it! 19 1/2 hours in labor, 3 hours of pushing, all to result in an emergency c-section because she was OT, which means head down, face to the side.

Here is how it went down . . .

We went in on the 13th at 10 to get cervadil(sp?) because my blood pressure has been pretty high, but I wasn't dilating. So, we stayed over night and woke up the next morning only to find out that I still wasn't dilated! So, they went ahead and took me to L&D and put me on pitocin. I was contracting every minute, but I couldn't feel a thing because of pain meds. Anyway, by like 5 or 6p.m. I had only dilated to a 3. They checked again at 8 p.m. and I was dilated to an 8. By 10 p.m. I was at a 10, so we started pushing while waiting for the dr. Well, I pushed for 3 hours and we discovered she was turned head down, but her face was sideways and she was stuck in my pelvis. So, at 2 a.m. I was pulled into the OR and had to have an emergency c-section. 2:52 a.m. Kinsey was here!!

Anyway, Kinsey Elizabeth is absolutely perfect. I love her so much. I am one exhausted mommy, but I know it's all worth it!
