Wonderful news, Lyn! Congratulations! It sounds like your birthing

experience was a little scary, but as you said, it's all worth it in the end to

see your daughter's perfect little face.

Many prayers for happy & healthy 2006!

Hello Ladies,

As you may or may not have noticed, I've been absent from the board for

a while. Well, I'd like to announce the arrival of our precious baby

girl!!!! Madilyn Paige was born on Thursday January 5th 2006 at 1:12 PM she

weighed 7lbs 7ozs and is 20 1/2 inches long! (And might I add, perfect!)

I went in to my doctor's appointment that morning feeling miserable and

when the nurse took my blood pressure she was extremely alarmed because it

was so dangerously high. The doctor came in and examined me and told me and

dh to go directly to L&D for a probable induction that afternoon. Well, we

were a bit nervous and very excited. When we arrived at the hospital, the

nurse asked me for a urine sample and when I went, there was A LOT of blood

which scared the life out of me!!! The doctor there decided to induce me

with pitocin but when the nurse tried to insert the catheter, they actually

found that I have a vaginal septum (we didn't know about it prior to this).

So, the insertion of the catheter was extremely painful and I was begging

them to stop. The doctor came in and sat down with me and gave me and dh two

options. She said they could still induce me and let me try to deliver

vaginally and run the risk of needing an emergency c-section or we could

just do the c-section in a controlled manner. We talked it over and decided

to go with the controlled c-section, and I have no regrets about it!

Unfortunately, we did run into some problems. I had a horrible reaction

to the spinal block medication and as soon as she was born, I got very

nauseous and I started trembling so violently that the doctors and nurses

thought I was going to have seizures so I couldn't see my baby girl for a

very long time. A nurse had to stay with me constantly to watch me and I

kept pulling out my oxygen because my face was so swollen and itchy. So,

even though she was born at 1:12 PM, I didn't see her until about 5:00 and

even then, they wouldn't let me hold her because I was trembling so bad. All

in all though, the entire experience was way worth it because she is

absolutely beautiful!!! If anyone would like to see pictures, email me

directly and I will be more than happy to email you a picture. When the

pediatrician first examined her after birth, she heard a heart murmur which

really frightened us but each day we were in the hospital, it got less and

less noticeable and today when we took her for her one week appointment, the

doctor said the murmur had completely disappeared and she is fine!!! (I

guess it is common for babies to be born with a murmur that then seals

itself off a few days after birth). So far, Maddy is an excellent baby!!!

She sleeps 3 1/2 - 4 hours at a time and wakes to eat then easily drifts off

to sleep. We have found that she loves to be swaddled and covered in cozy

blankets.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. If anyone has any questions about the

c-section or anything else, please feel free to email me. I am going to try

to get caught up with everyone's news and updates.
