Here it is:)
On Sunday after church I was having some contractions and they went on Monday morning as well. So I called my OB and I went in to be looked at. I was having contractions but nothing to bad. It was my blood pressure that they were worried about. So they sent me over to the Hospital to be watched for a few hours and have some labs done. After about 4 hours they let me leave knowing that I was very anemic and that my blood pressure was still about 150 and that I had to take a 24 hour urine test to check for preeclampsia.
The next morning I had to head to the OB to have my blood pressure checked again and it was still in the 150's. So they sent me to the Hospital and watched me for a few hours. Around 3 they came in and said that we would be doing the c-section that night at 9. They had got my test results back from the Lab and I did have preeclampsia after all. So they very worried that I could have a sezure or bleed to death if I went home. So we moved rooms and the wait started.
5 and a half hours passed and they were ready to prep me for the c-section. I was nervouse but very exited to see our baby. I was so scared that things wouldn't go very well for her being 5 weeks early. At 9 they took me in got my spinal and then they started in. At 9:41 pm we had our little girl. She was 5lbs 11oz and 18.5 inches long. The NICU nurses were there for her in case she needed it and she ended needing help to breath. They showed her to me really quick and then she was gone. Colby left with her after just a few min and they finished closing me up.
I ended up back in my room after that and waited for the spinal to wear off which was around 6 hours. At 3 am I was able to go see my baby. They got me up and we wheeled down to the NICU. I was so exited to get to see her longer then 10 seconds. We weren't able to hold her because she had a c-pap to help her breath.
The next morning I got up and was able to go down and see her again. A little while later we got to hold her for the first time. It was so hard to see her laying there for the IV and her c-pap and just look at her. She was so tiny and I could do anything to help her out. She stayed in the NICU till Thursday night till I was asked to be discharged so I could stay with Evelyn up in Pediatrics so we could stay together. It worked out well and I got to have her all to myself the whole night while Colby stayed with the kids at our house.
Friday around 1ish they said that she looked good enough to go home that night. So we started getting things ready to take our sweet new baby girl home with us. They did a few tests and then we were off to our house at 4pm. Colbys mom and dad watched the kids for the weekend and we settled in with Evelyn. They got to come home Sunday afternoon.
Things have been going good. I feel pretty good except for a few things here and there. And it is a lot harder going from 3 to 4 then it was 2 to 3. We are still working on things and the kids have been pretty goon with her. So here's to the start of a new chapter in our lives. No more baby's for this momma. I will miss it but things have just gotten harder with each baby. So now we get to see all 4 of our sweet baby's grow and learn. I am very thankful that I was able to have so many kids and that they are all healthy and strong. I am also very Thankful that I have such a great husband and that we together are so happy. So here's to that new chapter and I can't wait to see what it brings:)
