Yes people, you are reading that right. Apparently I have pretty big babies, especially surprising because I was told I would have a 6.5lb baby! She is perfect. We love her so much! She has been SO good, she isn't fussy, breastfeeding has been a breeze and she's sleeping so well. Halle especially loves baths and having her diaper changed! I think it's so funny.
Can't figure out why this one is upside down
Proud daddy (and his awesome bed head!)
Minutes after birth. I LOVE her red lips!
My AWESOME nurse!
One of the many positions they had me in to try to move her! This was even after the epidural, I could totally still feel my legs and everything. It was nice!
So tired
Don't know why this one is sideways....The Birth
Friday night (Halloween) Jon and I decided it was time to go into the hospital. I was over my due date and for the past 2 days I had been having a really hard time breathing and had this constant headache, which was really strange for me because I NEVER get headaches. Not to mention all the swelling, everything from my feet to my nose was significantly wider. We got to the hospital and they checked all my vitals and my blood pressure was 140/70! This was EXTREMELY unusual for me, my blood pressure hadn't gone above 90/52 this entire pregnancy. So they called my doc and checked again and it was 160/70. It was determined that I had preeclampsia so they told me I was having this baby ready or not. I was SO ready :). They started me on pitocin because I was only dilated to a 3 and hadn't been progressing although I was 95% effaced. After a little bit I got the epidural, which was awesome! Seriously people, I don't know what all the fuss is about, I would get one everyday if they'd let me. I ended up with a fever after my water broke so they gave me antibiotics and put an internal monitor in to check her heartbeat. Also she was faced up and would not move regardless of what position I was in so the doctor had to manually reach up there and turn her! That was probably the worst pain I felt. After that I pushed for about and hour and Halle was born! I barely tore so they put 2 stitches in me just in case.Labor/Delivery was great, I would do it again tomorrow.
