Mia Kate

On Saturday February 27th we we're abundantly blessed with our SWEET Mia Kate. And let me tell you, she is Sweet!

A little after 2pm I was putting aliana down for a nap and I bent over to give her a kiss and I felt a whoosh, my water broke. I called down the steps to neal and said hey, I think my water just broke. He rushed up. "Really" Yep. The contractions started coming immediately. Neal called his parents to come and they we're here pretty quickly. I was still in the shower in fact when they got here. I got down stairs and the contractions became more painful, they kept telling us to go, and neal wanted to leave, but I was wonting to labor at home as long as I could stand it. I didn't want to have to wait in triage. We got to the hospital about 3:45 and they started saying that they we're gonna monitor the baby a little. I said, "I feel pressure" the nurse said oh, and then off to L&D I went. But had to labor in the wheelchair for quite some time as they we're having trouble getting my iv in, I was waiting to get in the hot tub, that is my natural epi! And now when I think back, that is when I lost control of being in control of my labor. Does that make sense? I was sitting being jabbed over and over, not able to get up and get through the contractions. When I finally did get in the tub, I was only in for 5 minutes, and it was time to push. The nurse heard me grunting and her and neal yanked me out of the tub and whisked me to the bed. I felt I had no control. I could not get a handle on these contractions or the pain, and winced out, may I please have nubain? I had never had this, My girlfriends Heidi and Connie had talked about how they had it, and it took the edge off. I really needed that! But it was too late they said. The doctor was saying I will prolly be pushing for a while, that I would get her head out and that then her shoulders would get stuck. And I might be stuck there for a while and that's why they did the iv in case they had to do an emergency c-section. Ahh that dreaded c-section push again :( Anyway, I said to the doctor standing clear across the room, "I need to push, Please, Please, I need to push" She said oh go ahead, you're not pushing the baby out. No sooner she came running for the bed, and out came Sweet Mia Kate.
To be continued......................

So I have been having lots of trouble getting on blogger, I am not sure why, but not today. 3/31/10.

The nicu doc came cause they thought she swallowed muconium inside. The nicu doc tried to put oxygen on and mia kept pushing it away so the doc said okay. And she was so quiet and didn't even cry or anything! So they said everything was fine. They weighe dher and the doctor who delivere dsaid she was very shocked that she was only 7lbs 8 oz and that she wasn't any bigger. So no meds, and no c-section, thank you Lord. Till I got my hospital bill, almost $5,000.00 for me and $2,000.00 for Mia. For what? The doc wasn't even there in time, I did everything myself, Ha!

Here is one proud big brother. He has a little servants heart and is always asking what I need!
Neal took this, sweet sisters :) Mia
