On Thursday morning, March 25th at 6:50 am my water broke!!! After making the phone call to let everyone know it was finally time, I decided to make breakfast, double check my hospital bag, the diaper bag, take a shower, shave my legs, and finally call the dr. to let them know that my water broke but I wasn't having any contractions!! The nurse informed me that we should head immediately to the hospital, after some procrastinating we finally left at 9:30am to head to Oneida, to the hospital. I was admitted and the dr. came to check me at 11:15 or so, 3cm dilated, still no contractions!!! You know what that means, yup Pitocin!!! Not sure if I loved it or hated it. By 12:00 the contractions were fully underway but nothing I couldn't handle (yes, I was being tough)!!! The I decided I had to pee, big mistake, now things were getting unpleasant, soon after I informed Kurt, my mom and the nurse I would like a little something for the pain. After being checked and told I was at almost 5cm, I was given Stadol. I waited for the relief, which I thought I never felt, according to Kurt though I should have seen the monitor!!!! I guess there was relief!!!! By 2pm I was at almost 6cm and needed something stronger, bring on the deromorph!!!!! (which I had to wait til 4pm before I finally got!!!) This was relief, there was intense pressure but relief!!! By 5:15 or so the dr. had come in, informed me it was time to push, THANK GOD, and at 5:40 pm Piper Joyce entered this world and boy was she pissed off!!!!!
This is at about 6:30 or so, I was moved to my postpartum room and finally got to hold my baby girl!!! Yes, I'm still feeling good from the drugs which I was told would last almost 24 hrs., think they lasted about 12 or so.
Unfortunately my little girl is a bit stubborn and we had some trouble breastfeeding. On Monday morning we had to have her blood drawn again to test her billiribum levels. We were told they were a little high and that Piper had to be admitted to the hospital and put under these special lights to help her levels come down. She really didn't seem to mind that much and looked a little like she was at the beach. It was soo scary for Kurt and I but we are thankful she is back home and doing great. She has really started eating and has already gained back 3oz. We've had decided not to breastfeed and are giving her formula so that we can more closely monitor how much she is eating, she is doing better and better every day and we are looking forward to her 1st holiday this weekend!!!! Happy Easter!!!!!
