Text of the page (random words):
it my huge coach tote filled with my purse and 100 baby annoucement cards and myself down 3 flights of stairs and into the car i was sweating then on the way back up i had all that plus 2 target bags yup all the way back up 3 flights of stairs betterlosebabyweightfast all in all it was a good trip nicholas slept from the minute we got in the car thru most of the errands though he did wake up once we were in target for a tiny bit then again who wouldn t want to look around the amazingness that is target and then he was passed out again til we were pulling into our development even though i don t think i ll be taking him out too much since it s winter and i d rather him not be around tons of people while he s so little it was nice to know that i could do it posted by shay at 7 28 pm 3 comments friday november 21 2014 the birth story part 2 so i had been on the pitocin all day and into the night i started feeling very uncomfortable the whole day i had been having contractions but they weren t consistent and they didn t feel very strong by midnight hubby was asleep and the intensity began to increase the monitor showed they were coming every 2 3 minutes i began breathing through the pain and thinking to myself wow this could be it my second thought was wow i m so tired how am i going to do this and then i fell asleep yes passed out fell fast asleep had a one way ticket to la la land when i awoke a few hours later the contractions had almost stopped completely i was now actually pumped up to the max dose of pitocin 20ml and barely feeling a thing the pain was on par with light period cramps say what dr j was back on call for the weekend and she came to check me another fun internal note the sarcasm in that revealed no progression still only 3 5 cm dialated and only 50 effaced i was presented with 2 options they could give me a bit of a break then go in and break my water and restart the pitocin and hope that breaking my water would give me a better outcome or i could opt to just go for a scheduled c section the dr and nurse left hubby and me to chat about what we wanted to do let me say this was one of the hardest decisions i had to make this entire time the words c section had never even crossed my mind but at that point it was saturday and i had been in the hospital since wednesday basically just hanging out after talking to a few mommy friends for their opinion i made the decision to just go for the c section it was time to get this baby out my reasoning behind my decision was that baby camb was behaving perfectly everyone said his heartbeat and movements were text book perfect what if i opted to break the water and he went into distress he was happy as a clam in there so why not just go in and get him out and not stress him out and in the end that s just what we did once the decision to do the c section was made things moved quickly forms were filled out scrubs were given to the hubby and we walked down to the or i was scared the spinal block was going to hurt but i had a great anesthesiologist and it really was no big deal it s basically the same kind of procedure as the epidural they shoot you up with some lidocaine and then administer the block then they laid me down on the operating table and waited for me to numb up there were a bunch of people in the room my dr an assistant ob scrub nurses neonatologist and finally hubby at my head the whole experience of a c section is completely surreal the fact that i knew i had legs but couldn t feel them was wild it s like when you go to the dentist and get novacaine and feel like your lip is huge i felt like i had elephant legs and i knew they were there but when i tried to wiggle my toes nothing happened soon they were cutting into me and i felt all kinds of tugging and pressure but no pain after a while i felt lots and lots of pushing on my chest stomach area like someone was literally standing on me jumping up and down i started mini freaking out and hubby was quick to calm me down and told me that i was fine and to just look at him and our son would be there soon and then a very loud wail our son was finally here cue the sobbing from both the hubs and me they cut his cord and whisked him over to the neonatologist while he screamed his head off a very good sign after a few minutes hubby was able to go over and see him and they brought him over to me and he was perfect in every way 10 fingers 10 toes chubby little cheeks and a hell of a wail he measured a 9 on the apgar scale and weighed in at 7lbs 5oz and 20 long in that moment i fell in love after letting me see him for a few minutes hubby went with him to recovery while they put me back together more pulling poking pressure then finally i was wheeled to recovery for some skin to skin with my son posted by shay at 4 07 pm 2 comments labels baby the birth story part 1 while baby nicholas takes a snooze i figured i d try to get in writing his birth story before i forget the details yes i m happily sleep deprieved so it all started on wednesday november 5th i was exactly 38 weeks along and had a routine appointment with my ob for a growth ultrasound i had worked from home that day and around 2pm went off to my appointment figuring i d be home by 3 30 to continue working how wrong i was at the ultrasound appointment the tech took her time looking at baby she said he looked great had a strong heartbeat and didn t like the probe since he was flipping all around when she d press it on my belly then she started to measure the fluid in the amniotic sac the levels concerned her and she told me not to be nervous because he looked great but she needed me to go back out in the waiting room because she needed to show the doctor her report after about 10 minutes i was in another room and hooked up to the nst monitor after 30 minutes on the monitor dr j came in and said baby looked great however the level of fluid concerned her she wanted me to go to the hospital for some futher monitoring and for another bpp biophysical profile at this point i still didn t think baby camb was on his way once i got to my car i got on the phone with my hubby and was surprised when i saw the dr beeping in she told me there was a change in plans and not only did i need to head to the hospital i would be spending the night there i was allowed to go home to quickly grab my things and then headed with my mom to the hospital once we were checked into l d things were pretty quiet hubby was on his way home from work to spend the night with me and basically i was just going to be hooked up to the nst monitor for the night and then would have the ultrasound the following morning we spent an uneventful night in the room listening to baby camb s heartbeat on the monitors and then first thing in the morning were sent downstairs to ultrasound the techs down there deemed no change in the fluid and actually said to me wow looks like you re going to be having a baby once we got back upstairs to meet with dr j she told us that since baby s fluid was so low and that i was 38 weeks full term she would feel more comfortable if we started the process of getting him out this meant induction she gave me an internal i was only fingertip dialated which is like nothing and gave me a cervical softener which looked similar to an iud to get things started the softener would stay in place for 12 hours and i could just hang out and wait for it to work it s magic that was noon on thursday they checked me around midnight that night and inserted a second softener since there wasn t much progress hubby and i just continued to hang out watch tv and ordered some food i wasn t feeling any pain or discomfort and still had no idea what lied ahead the following morning dr r was on call and came to check my progress which ended up not being much he removed the softener and instead put in a cervical balloon to try to stretch my cervix and encourage dialation yes this was super uncomfortable but i progressed to 3cm by 9am the pitocin was started and i thought for sure things would get moving throughout the day they increased the dosage of the pitocin to try to increase the contractions and would check me every few hours by that night friday i was given my last meal and they figured with the pitocin working overnight things might get moving but boy were they wrong posted by shay at 3 37 pm 2 comments labels baby friday november 14 2014 baby boy has made his debut i will try to get back to posting his birth story soon but he is here introducing nicholas gary born november 8 2014 2 26pm 7lbs 5oz 20 long it s an understatement to say we are in love posted by shay at 5 56 pm 4 comments tuesday november 4 2014 last minute odds and ends well here we are almost at the finish line i m taking advantage to blog a little before baby c decides he wants to join us i just can t believe we re near the end tomorrow is 38 weeks people amazing and yes i m so ready for him to be evicted the word uncomfortable doesn t even describe how i ve been feeling and once i get the ability to easily put on my socks and shoes back i swear i will never take it for granted again sadbuttrue i know i haven t done an update in a while honestly my mind is a jumbled mess lately so i ll just give you some of the highlights of the last couple of weeks that i can remember everything baby is ready to go the room is done as i showed you last post we have all our supplies ready and waiting our bags are packed complete with nursing essentials camera and i m praying hubby does not forget the phone chargers the birth plan is done which i didn t do an extensive one i downloaded one from the bump it was a really nice easy checklist and now all we need is a baby my 36 37 week appts were for the most part uneventful i did find out that i tested positive for the group b strep bleh which they say is not a big deal other than that in the words of my dr your kid looks like a rock star all of my nst s have looked great so baby is just jammin away in there we took our infant care class a couple of weeks ago it was great to learn about baby and what to do for him hubby was awesome and asked questions and was really involved makes my heart smile to see how excited he is for his son to get here and to be an involved dad we took a private breastfeeding class with a lactation specialist on sunday she was awesome we nicknamed her the baby whisperer she was so knowledgable and supportive hubby now really understands what a committment breastfeeding is going to be and is 100 on board with trying to help me as much as possible work has been cah ray zeeeee i decided to work up until baby c gets here and its taking way more of a toll on me than i would have thought however i just felt that i needed to be in the office as much as possible and get as much crap done as possible i have a freelancer taking over for the next few months that i had to train so at least we re moving along on that and now i feel confident that they ll be fine for when i m out it s still stressful though this week i m transitioning to working from home 3 days a week and only going into the office for 2 so hopefully that will help me out other than that have just been trying to get in some last minute dinners with all my girlfriends that s been fun they are all so excited for me and it s been nice to hang out with them before my whole world changes contractions have increased at my appt yesterday i had 2 on the monitor hubby was floored you could see the contraction monitor increase from the 70s all the way up to the 190s he thought labor was coming but since the dr told him i still had a smile on my face it was only some bh ones and that once i m in real labor i won t be smiling lol that s all i can think of off the top of my head the next time i blog i might have a son eek so exciting posted by shay at 9 38 am 4 comments labels

severely neglected these past few weeks work and life has been insane in the membrane but i m back to write a quick post to let y all know that i am still here and waiting for baby boy s arrival so where are we now wednesday i was 34 weeks i probably mentioned in my last post that my shower was a few weeks ago and it was fabulous i ll try to do a recap in a separate post promise if i ever get the pics off my phone i had 2 dr appts we re now on the 1 a week appts and i get hooked up to the nst every week last week i did have a bh contraction while on the machine but i actually never even felt it baby boy is a wiggly worm and he s definitely going to be a good sized baby in the dr s words and surprise he ll also most likely be making his debut early according to the dr since my hypertension makes them much more cautious he said it s unlikely i ll go to 40 weeks in other news the nursery is complete we have everything done including the set up of the pack n play in the bedroom which we ll use for the first few months pics of the nursery to come soon we also put the car seat bases in and i went and got them inspected at the sheriff s office they tightened them but
