Hey Y'all!! A day later we are home and feeling pretty darn good. Taylor came to us at 12:04 pm on July 21st. She must have waited so she could share her birthday with Louky. She was 6lbs 12oz. and 20" long.
I started having contractions on Monday morning at about 2:45 am and then my water broke at 4:30. We got to the hospital at about 5:30am after I had a tuna fish sandwich at home. (Justin's mom was gagging and laughing that I could eat tuna fish with pickles at 5 in the morning) :)
they hooked me up to the iv's and monitors and then I got my epidural at about 8:30am. The anethesiologist had his routine and he gives fentinal with all his epidurals, I learned that narcotics make me throw up. So this was my first delivery that there was puking involved which was sad cause it could have been avoided had I just declined the yucko stuff. I had already gotten a nubain? inj. for the pain while I waited for the needle man. There was an emergency somewhere else so he was really delayed getting to me. Beyond the puking everything went well. Epidural, labor, delivery, and recovery, were pretty text book. We had lots of visitors and Taylor stayed awake to greet them all. She was born smiling, and is quiet and happy.
The first night she and I stayed alone and she ate at 11 pm and slept until about 8am. She was up all day so I can understand why she slept and slept. I got up in the night to move around and change her, I tried to feed her but she only wanted to sleep. So the first night was REALLY good. She slept quite a bit more today so I am expecting to be up a little more tonight. Thanks for all your prayers and visits and goodies we love ya all. Thanks for everything.. MORE to come.
