We Had The Baby!

:D We had the baby on 4-15-09!! The doctors admited me into the hospital on monday the 13th because my bp was high and i had high protein in my urin... They did some things monday night to try to get the ball rolling but it didn't work so on tuesday they started me on pitocen. I spent the day on that and nothing changed. at supper time they stopped the pit so i could eat dinner and later that night they poked a hole in my water and at some point thru out the night they put me back on the pit. Wednesday morning the dr checked me again and i still hadn't progressed any further than 5cm so they said emergency c-section because it had been more than 12 hrs since they popped my water. we were in the operating room about an hr and a half when Logan was born!! 12:43PM, he weighted 8lbs 8.2oz, and was 20" long... Once everything was put back together, they moved me to recovery where i had a heck of a time with my blood pressure and he had trouble with his sugar... my bp was thru the roof 200's over 100's. his sugars were really low cuz he was a big baby. they had to feed him formula to get his sugars to come up then he was fine. Me on the other hand, they gave me some med to lower my bp which worked but to counter act the side affects from high bp they also gave me magnesium sulfate then moved me back to my room. i started to feel very funny and i looked under the blankets to see alot of blood... here the magnesium had prevented my uterus from doing it's thing and i hemmoraged... my bp dropped so low, i lost so much blood i almost died, there were 2 dr and like 8 nurses in the room... the dr was pressing on my belly so hard to get the stuff out all i could do was lay there and scream in pain. They had me set up on a morphine drip and that wasn't doing anything for the pain at that point! Poor Sid was so worked up he kept leaving the room and coming back because he couldn't take me screaming. Once all that settled down, i lost 2pints of blood they had to give me a blood transfusion. then i started to feel better. then, to top it off, from being bed ridden for so long, friday morning(2 days after) i woke up couldn't breathe, from being stuck in bed, i got pnemonia, my lungs filled up half way with fluid... thru all this i was not able to feed the baby at all so they were feeding him formula. he still managed to loose 10% of his birth weight... they kept me on antibiotics for the last 3 days i was in the hospital and when i came home i was stuck on them for 5 days... my c-section scar goes from one hip to the other at the bikini line so it's not visible and we are both doing very well. Finally LOL!!! I have been trying to get online and see everyone, most of the time it's early morning and mid afternoon, between feedings and naps, i try to make time for myself and Sid LOL! Being a mom is great and Sid is very happy also! He's our little miracle and i am only doing this once, i am not having any more LOL this one experience was enough one time around, one near death exp in a life time is good for me :) I hope to see you all in game soon! Not sure how to post a pic of him but email me at tiabrady113@comcast.net and i will reply with a pic of us!

Love Trin
