I thought I would check in. I went in to the hospital on the 21st at 8:30 AM. They broke my water at 9:00AM and then again between 1 and 2 PM. I was only dialated to a 7 at 8:00 PM. He gave me some pictosin at 10 PM. It was alot of pain. More than my sons. I was asking them to use the vaccuum on her but they told me I was just about there. She has a full head of dark hair. I delivered a little girl (Stephanie Helen) at 3:32AM. She was 8 lbs. 11 ozs. I got home from the hospital today Sunday the 24th. She is a really good but she is a little colicy during the day.
I just wanted to let everyone know I was OK and feeling good right now. I will see how I feel in a couple days after we have adjusted to the home.
Congrats!!! Fantastic news. I love her name, Stephanie Helen, it sounds so regal and elegant.
I had the pitocin too, I have never had so much pain in my life. Thank goodness though, they told me if I ever have another baby just to schedule a c-section because I am too narrow even if I have a small baby.
Hope we'll hear from you again when you've got a spare second or 2. take care.
Your news made my day!! A little girl...how precious. Little miss Stephanie. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I am glad that everyone is well. Take care and let us know how things are going when you have a moment.
Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl. I'm very excited for you and for all the new experiences your daughter will be having. Now, if you can just find time for some sleep LOL
I am doing great and so is Stephanie. Last night was better got around 6 hours of sleep and slept another 2 this morning. I am feeling pretty good but will have to see what happens tonight since I am alone with all the kids. My mother said she would stick around and help out if I wanted her to but we will have to see. I have TOPS tonight and will see how things go. I have to be there because I am the new weight recorder and it's instalation night. I was thinking it would be easy to leave her with someone for a couple hours but I am starting to get anxieties over leaving her. Well talk to you all later.
Glad to hear your feeling well. I could imagine the anxiety over leaving her for a few hours so soon. But it may be a good thing to do it right away. It will help you in the long run. And it's good to have some "non mommy" time for yourself.
It"s A Girl
