The day I became a mom!!!







So most of you know that I was pregnant with our first little girl. She was due August 10 2010. I went for a appt on July 27 2010, and was getting my one week check when to our suprise I was already dilated to 2 centimeters and was told according to the ultrasound that we were going to be having a big baby. So Dr. Bobo decided it was best to go ahead and induce on Sunday. Which was fine with me since I only had 2 more weeks to go until her due date. So I went home and still was having some back pains (which I had for about a week or so). I decided to put some ice on it like I had been doing which made it feel much better. Then got up on Wed morning went to work like I normally had been doing. All day my back was hurting off and on. I decided to go up stairs to my Ob doctors office and see if they could check me again. Of course the doctor was gone so the nurse said if I wanted too I could go across to the Hospital and they could hook me up to the monitors and see if i was having contractions and how far along they were. So I did and sure enough I was contracting and so the resident come in and checked me and I was already dilated to 4. So they called Dr. Bobo and she decided to go ahead and keep me in. So Mom and Matt came up there and spent the night with me. The next morning they started potosin at 5 am and then the doctor came in the break my water at around 6. I was dilated to 6 by then and so we decided to go ahead and do the epidural just in case. So they did the epidural at 7:30am and ended up having to put in a ICP so that McKenzie could have some warm water around her head so she would drop. So sure enough that did the trick and she dropped and I was dilated to 8 centimeters. So they decided to go ahead and start doing practice pushes to get ready. So just 1hr and 30 mins later I had my little baby girl. She was born on July 29 2010 weighing 7lbs 13oz and 19 inches long. Gorgeous as ever and so sweet to her mommy. Matt and my mom got to experience all of it with me. Which I really think Matt enjoyed getting to cut the cord and see the birth of our child. I have now been home almost two weeks and I have really loved being a mom. It has kinda been hard since I was not able to continue the breastfeeding once we were asked to stop due to her being Jaundice. But I still had about a week of breastfeeding with her to have the bonding time. I will unfortunately being going back to work in 6-8 weeks. I will really miss her while at work but Im really trying not to think about it right now.
