Hi Girls!!!!
Marissa is here!!! She decided she wanted to be a September baby instead 
I will post my story below, we just got home from the hospital today, sorry for the delay.
So, it was a very scary day and I dont remember much. I called in sick to work on Monday because I had a terrible migraine headache, I was vomitting most of the morning. I remember my husband said he was going to run to the store for a few things because he was off work on Monday. When he got back from the store he said that I was laying in the living room naked, passed out and completely gone with blood around my mouth and head, and in my hair, we think the pain of the migraine may have been so severe it put me into a seizure? (which I have never had a seizure before)Anyway he called the ambulannce and they took me to Ft. Hamilton Hospital , which is close to my house, Ft. Hamilton then had to have a private ambulance company pick me up from there and take me to Good Sam.
The next thing I know the doctor has me on the operating table and tells me that I am going to feel a bee sting type pain and the he was doing my epidural and that I had to have an Emergency C-Section. from that point I remember meeting Marissa and being in a recovery room. It was so scary and I hate not knowing what happened to me. they did the emergency c-section because of the circumstances, my blood pressure at that point and the little activity Marissa was showing.
All went well though and she is here a couple weeks early and we couldn't be happier. She is such a cutie and we love her so much. She weighed in at 5pounds 8 ounces and was born on 9/28 at 2:38am. We were released from the hospital today and are home and settling in.
Thanks for all the congrats on Facebook! I will post some pictures soon

OMG Kristy! What a story. I'm so sorry that happened, but I am thanking God that you guys are all alright. I can't wait to see pictures of her.
Congrats!

Oh my goodness, what a scary happening for all of you. I'm sure your DH was positively freaking out finding you like that. I'm so happy that all is well though and that you are home with your little peanut.
I can't wait to see what she looks like! I hope you are recovering nicely. Enjoy the new baby

I am so happy the end result was good but sad you had to go thru all of that. I can relate on many levels.I am sure she is a doll baby!! Can't wait to see pics.
Just my two cents, out of concern and an epileptic...did they do an EEG on you? You might want to have a follow up one done just to make sure everything checks out ok and it in fact was a fluke and not epilepsy or seizure disorder. I would hate for it to be something more and have something go wrong while you were a lone with Marissa. Praying all is fine.

I agree with the other girls- so scary and so glad everything turned out ok!
Congratulations mama!
wow that sounds so scary! thank god dh came home when he did. i'm so glad everything sounds under control now and everybody is home healthy.
Oh my gosh, that is so scary. I am so glad that you and Marissa are okay! Thank goodness your DH was off work that day!
Congratulations on your sweet baby girl!
Congratulations! Those are crazy circumstances, but I'm glad that everyone is okay in the end! I hope none of your co-workers were on the call to transport you!
I also definitely agree with asphire to have some follow ups with a neurologist to rule out any underlying condition that might have caused this episode.
I think Marissa is an adorable name and I can't wait to see photos of the tiny little peanut.
