Family snuggle time before bed. Man I have some cute kids!!! :o)
We are so blessed to have another beautiful little girl in our family! She is a GREAT little sleeper and I'm having to wake her up to eat. We shall see if that continues. But everything went fairly smoothly. I woke up from contractions around 3:30 a.m. and woke Kirk up around 5:30 when they were about 7.5 minutes apart. We got everything ready and dropped kids off to my FABULOUS sister-in-law around 6:30, and checked into the hospital around 7:10. The nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 4 and 80% effaced. The anesthesiologist came in around 8:45 to do an epidural. He finished the epidural and was leaving around 9:20. Then everything moved REALLY fast!!! Baby's heart rate dropped and the nurse called for the Dr. ASAP and she arrived very quickly. As I was turning towards my right side my water broke, Dr. Dickason checked me and said I was dilated to a 9.5 and then she told me the baby was not only face up, but presenting face first..... Not a good thing. She started asking for the anesthesiologist, and a couple other doctors in case she had to do an emergency C-section. I was put on oxygen, and then they started telling me what was going on. The Dr. told me I had to push good and get her out!!! So, after another prayer I had to push through two contractions and she was here. Thankfully she is healthy and happy! We were later told in the 18 years my Dr. has been delivering babies, this is only the second successful vaginal delivery she's seen when a baby is presenting face first. All the others have had to be emergency C-sections. I am so thankful for blessings and I know that through the power of the priesthood and the blessing I received that morning our baby girl was able to go through that and still be healthy and happy. :o) What an AMAZING gift!!!
She is so tiny and petite and we are LOVING every minute with her. :o) She is so PRECIOUS!!!
