KENLEIGH'S Birth Story - VERY DELAYED
On July 19, 2012 I drove to the hospital to get ready to have my baby girl. I was on my own for a few minutes because Sean was at home getting our heard ready to arrive. Then pretty much at the same time Sean, Riker, Rien Rae, Kaedence, Mom, James, and Natalie all came in. (Luckily I had a large room.) At 8:30am they started my pitocin and at 8:55am they broke my water. It wasn't long before I was having contractions every two minutes during which I still got around to texting Haley R. about work. At that point I got a little grouchy and requested to get up for a bit and kicked everyone out for just a few minutes...this led to me requesting the epidural. I'm usually not so grouchy in labor but I was really trying to be good because my babies were there. After a few pushes everyone I previously listed got to witness my baby girl enter the world at 12:25pm. She weighed 8 lbs 8 oz and was 21 inches long. Because my lovely baby girl didn't have my blood type she had some bili issues which led to us not getting discharged until the 21st. We only were discharged then because I basically threw a fit and explained to them that I have dealt with this before (Riker) and knew what to look for and would take her to the doctor every day as long as they needed me to. Rien had a gymnastics meet that morning and I was determined to be there. I drove up right on time wearing my sexy hospital panties under my yoga pants with hospital bracelets still on. Just like that we were a family of 6...overbooked with events but happy as can be. :)
