It's been awhile...the baby is here!

So I admit, I lost track of my blog for a few months. I hadn't really gotten into the whole "blogging" thing and I never could remember to post updates...then again, I don't think many were keeping up with my blog so it's not like I let anyone down lol. Alot has happened since my last post...ALOT. The months of my pregnancy came to an end and it was finally time! I had several complications towards the end of my pregnancy...high blood pressure, etc and ended up being put in the hospital several times. Then during my 38wk appointment the doctor noticed that baby was measuring big...off I went for an ultrasound to see just how big she was and next thing I know I was scheduled for a c-section the next day!! We arrived at the hospital at 5:30AM and I got all settled into my room, got my IVs hooked up (I had to be on antibiotics) and then it was nothing but wait. The doctor came in the check on me a few hours later, I was still only at a 1 almost a 2, he attempted to break my water and we would continue to up the pitocin and just wait. And wait...and wait...and wait. I never started to feel contractions but I had severe back pain so they gave me something to help with that.....still nothing but waiting...every time I was checked I was still only about a 2. They finally decided to have my epi started....a little later the doctor was back and this time was able to really break my water. Hopefully not too much longer now!!!!...................................... over an hour later and nope....nothing new. It had been a long day and I tried to nap when possible. We finally turned on the news and come to find out severe weather was headed our way!! Tornadoes and everything. About that time the doctor came in to talk with us about our options....and suddenly the hospital intercoms announce a code Black...I have nurses rushing into my room grabbing my IVs and getting my bed out the door....the tornado sirens were going off!!! While we were in the hallway my doctor talked with us about either continuing to wait or opting for a c-section...and he honestly felt that after so long that things were simply not going to progress since I was still only at a 2. The decision was made and preparations began for the c-section. I went in at 7p and at 7:41 Abigail Nichole was born!! 8lbs 11 oz....the doctor said we made the right decision cause she had not dropped one bit and she wasn't going to fit anyways.

We spent a few days in the hospital...while Abby was perfect I had a few complications following the c-section, even ended up with a blood transfusion :( We finally came home and I continued to have alot of complications. Now, 7wks later I'm doing better and Abby is great!! She is growing so much each day and changing so much!! She's so alert and loves to hold that head up...her daddy calls her a bobble head LOL. She has been a wonderful baby from the beginning...we had a few problems with the formula but we think we have her on the right one now! I could go on and on but this post is long enough for now. Plus I'm trying to get some of the laundry done while Miss Abby naps. I'll post again soon. I plan to keep up with my blog more now!!!
