What an adventure!


WOW!! This is an experience that I will never forget. It all started on Monday, July 27th around noon with some contractions. Nothing too big, but it was a start! That really got me excited for the end. Well Monday came and went with contractions every hour than onto Tuesday and the non-stress test on Laney. We went to the hospital at 1pm and took the test and than made our way to see Dr. Nace. He did a quick check and guess what...not dilated!! Go figure! It really wasn't too big of a shock to me, but very disheartened. I didn't think she was ever gonna come into the world. But Dr. Nace assured me that he never had a patient that didn't deliver! Gotta love Dr. Nace! So, home again we went. Buffy made me lunch (yummy corn beef hash) and Jason went back to work. At about 4pm the contractions started to get closer and closer. They seemed to hurt alot more too. So I really kept track of them with Buffy's help and got ready for the softball game we had that evening. By 520pm the contractions were 5 minutes apart and really starting to intensify. Jason came in the house to get ready for the game and decided that he would get changed for the hospital instead. By 630pm we were headed into Austin again hoping for the best. I got all hooked up to the monitors and got a quick check from the doc. I was dilated to about a 2 and praying for the best. At 11pm, and LOTS of pain later, I was unchanged. We made the decision to just stay considering I was being induced 7 hours later. So, I spent the night gripping and almost breaking the hospital bed!! Every three to four minutes the PAIN would come and go. The next morning, the pitoson (however you spell it) was started and the contractions came harder and quicker. I wasn't progressing much, but was extremely hopeful! By 11am, there was still no change and we increased the meds. And with that...yup you guessed it - here comes the pain! By 1pm, there was so much pain I could hardly stand it. So I tried some meds to help off set the pain. At that time, there was still no change. By 3pm, I was feeling pretty good the pain was lifted some and I could actually talk to the nurses and doctors. Dr. Nace checked things again and SURPRISE - no change. So he was giving it another hour and we would check again. At 445pm, Dr. Nace came to check things - the sad news was reported - my cervix was thickening back up and I never dilated past a 3. He said since the water broke early this morning we needed to get her out. So the decision was made and the c-section was underway by 545pm. I must say...epidural...not half bad!!! After the c-section it was discovered that Laney would not have come out of the cervix after all. She was trying to engage, but her head was turned to the side and she was stuck! Other than a little dent on her head - she is perfect! We are truly blessed!!

Welcome to the World Laney!

Could someone please cover me up?
Everyone wants to see!! Are you drooling on the glass???

My Way Or The Highway!!

Well I guess this precious little bundle will be deciding herself when she is good and ready to come out. I had my appt today and there is no action! Not even dilated! I can only say...like mother, like daughter!!

Oh My...Only One Week To Go!!

We are almost there... I can't decide if I am nervous or anxious. Jason is definitely anxious. He talks to my tummy every night telling the baby how many days left till he gets to hold her. It is really quite cute! As for me, I am sitting on the fence - the fear of the unknown is killing me! I am the type of person who likes to be in control and I have no control over this. As of last Friday at my appt, Dr. Nace says I am not effaced or dilated. So I am guessing this child will be just like mommy and will decide herself when she is good and ready to grace us with her presence! So here we sit just waiting for the day that we get to meet our little bundle! It will completely change our lives, but what a change!! Well, I have another appt this Friday and will blog to let you know how it goes!

PS - She moves so much in my tummy that Jason says "she's building a fort! "Move a lung here - shove the kidney in there - push the bladder over there..."
