Had my baby today!!!long

Just wanted to give you ladies an update.  I am writing this from my hospital bed and am still a little loopy, so please forgive me! I went to my NST scan on Thursday and my bp was up and I had plus 4 in my urine.  I was sent on to L&D and after having some bad blood work they decided to go ahead and induce labor. I was right at 37 weeks.

They started the cervadil around 12:30PM on Thursday and I had two doses.  After the second dose at 6:30PM I started running to the bathroom.  It was horrible.

The Dr came in to check me around 11:30PM and I was only 1CM dialated.  She decided to go ahead and start Pitocin.  I took that from 1AM until 9AM; no progress what so ever.  She decided to stop the pitocin and give me a break to eat something and shower and then they would try a bulb in my cervix to try to dialate me more.  I got the bulb around 3PM and at 3:30PM my water broke on my own.   They were sure that I would have the baby by early this morning. 

My blood pressure spiked early this morning following a bad headache and cramping.  At 8AM my dr decided to go ahead and do a c-section (I had made no progress) At 10:52AM Baby David Lee was born.  He is the most precious thing I have ever seen.  The only problem is that his bladder in on his outside.  I have no had a chance to hold my baby boy yet. 

They went ahead and took him to our local children's hospital.  My DH is with him.  The dr's over there did a total evaluation and everything other than the bladder is OKAY!!! Very healthy.  He is 5lbs 9 ounces, 18 1'2 inches long and a spitting image of his daddy.  They will do reconstructive surgery on Monday morning to place the bladder back into place and will have to remain at the hospital for 3 weeks.  

I had a very tough time with my blood pressure and pain this afternoon but am doing much better now.  I will have to remain here until Tuesday so I will not be there for my son's surgery.  

Please keep my son, DH, and I in your thoughts and prayers. I will post pictures as soon as I can (I have limited laptop access!)

and the greatest of these is love......2/10/07 David Noah joined us 08/08/09 Proud BE mommy! Colbie Faith joined us 05/20/11!
