I can't hardly believe she is almost a week old already! After staying with the kids for a couple of nights I actually went home last night and was back here early this morning. Right now they are at the doctors getting an updated blood test on her jaundance so I thought I would tell you about the blessings of her delivery.
Well since they had that fire next door Jessica hadn't been able to sleep very well so on Thursday after having contractions off and on we got ahold of the doctor and I took her in that afternoon. Well of course they contractions stopped and he checked her and she was no where near showing signs of laboring. She told him about her not sleeping so he ordered her some sleeping pills. WELL that night she took one and an hour later 11:30p.m. she woke up to this horrible pain. She was like "what in the world!". I got a phone call from Skip sometime after midnight with a voice of lack of sleep and like "here we go again". They were 5min apart regularly. We got in touch with Katie and we all agreed she needed to head to the hospital. All of our thoughts were, they would send her home to labor and none of us prepared for anything. We all got to the hospital and she was still doing wonderful breathing out each pain and all. Well the shocker was when the doc checked her she was 8 cen.!!!!! I about croaked! They knew they had a baby coming on their hands but NO ROOM IN THE INN....they put her in the recovery room where they put the c-sections mom's in. Doc came back asked her if she wanted her eperideral and she said, YES! By this time she was 9cen....and they had no birthing room. (I am stressed thinking about it all over again!)She got a room....oops lost that room! By this time she's had her ep so she's doing good and it is now 7a.m. So to make a LOOOONG story short they held her off until she got her room about NOON!!! The nurses prepared her for delivery and doc was in between deliveries and a c-section after Molly....And then because they ran out of ROOMS for the rest of her stay she had to stay in the laboring room until 10p.m that night. It was a ZOO......sooooo for their inconvience they were presented with a SUITE for a room!!!! When I walked in I thought I was in a docotrs apartment of some sort!!! It had a livingroom, small dining area and a huge bedroom!!!
The whole labor and birth experience was drawn out but honestly Jess did a wonderful job and Skip was awesome as well! We are now blessed with a beautiful baby girl.
When I came in this morning they all looked rested and are ALL in love!
