The Story of Our Newest Little Angel!

Maybe many of you don't know the story of our newest little angel and how her birthday became January 28th. Let me back up two weeks ago. I went to my 38 week appt. the doctor does the usually check says so far you have dilated to 1 and 50-60% effaced. Not wanting another C-section (as stated in the previous section) I wanted to try a Vbac (Vaginal Delivery After Cesarean) so basically we would just have to play the wait game and my body would have to go into labor itself. Since we were wanted to try Vbac you have to be a candidate for it. I won't go into details, but the odds were going against me. One thing is you can't have a baby bigger then 8lbs. The doctor wanted me before I saw him for my 39th week appt to get an ultrasound done just to get an estimate on how big the baby was measuring.
The next week for my 39th week appt. this is January 28th I get the ultrasound done and according to the ultrasound the baby was measuring 8lbs 50z. Again, that's just an estimate according to the measurement of what the ultrasound tech measured. Right after my ultrasound I see my doctor he checked me again nothing really had changed maybe a little bit more effaced, but not much. We talk about how he would hate for me to go another week go into labor baby get stuck and end up having another c-section. I decided then I was done being pregnant. My doctor asked me what was my schedule like I said open. He said let me see if there is an opening for this afternoon and he left the room. I texted message Chris and asked how he felt about having a baby today. I was going to call him, but I didn't know details so the next thing I know I'm getting a phone call from him and he was like what is going on. I told him were probably having a baby today. Doctor comes back a few minutes later and says I have you on the schedule at 4:00pm that afternoon be here at 2:30pm so they can prep you. At that time is was about 11:30 quarter to 12:00. I couldn't believe I was going to be having a baby in a few hours. Wow! it definitely was a rush and a nervous feeling. When I was walking out the doctor's office I called Chris back and he was like are you ok with this I was like I'm going to have to be, come home were having a baby today. I was walking back to my car I kind of started to cry because I was a little disappointed, but excited at the same time because I was going to meet our little angel in a few hours today. I was disappointed because I just did not have a fun recovery with Morgan. Any of you if you have had a c-section and have been in labor before it's not a fun thing it makes things worst.
We made arrangements for Morgan to go to my moms and were back at the hospital an few hours later. Once the prep work got started my nerves had calmed and I knew everything was going to be ok.
Having a planned c-section was a lot better then I thought. So far I have been home for a few days not in as much pain as I was with Morgan and other things that go on after having a baby are alot better. The hospital stay was great all the nurses were so kind and I never had a bad nurse

Chris has been so helpful. His always concerned about what I need and what he can do for Morgan, the baby, or me. (I'm at his mercy because I can't go any where meaning I'm not suppose to drive for two weeks plus we have to keep Jayden away from anyone who has been sick because it's RSV season very serious if a newborn gets it.) I will be camped at home for the next few months. Chris is trying to balance taking care of us and going to work a little at a time so his not behind. I do wish I could've taken some of my nurses home with me, surprisingly the hospital food was not bad at all. You even got to chose what you wanted to eat instead of them just bringing some meal like I remember at Cottonwood Hospital where I had Morgan.

It's funny how the Lord blesses you and know what your needs are and what you can handle if you have faith. I wouldn't change my experience at all. It happened for a reason so far so good. I know we have a long journey and new experience with two children, but feel very bless and tired not going to lie, but we all know as parents that just comes with the job, but very rewarding. Well, that was the story of our newest little angel. I would love to hear from any of you! Please call I would love to talk.

P.s If some of my writing doesn't make sense I have literally only have had about 6-8 hours of sleep in the last week and on medication. Most of the lack of sleep was at the hospital because the first night a nurse or someone was in my room every 10-15 minutes and that is not an exaggeration because with a c-section they have to monitor you after a major surgery or drawing your blood, baby, etc. I only got maybe 45 minutes of sleep that night so please understand!
