Well
as you can all see we are home. And we got the power supply fixed on
our computer. Now did you really think Blaine would be without World of
Warcraft for more than 2 days.....?
So, Isabella Serenity Lynne Lott was born Tuesday May 15th at 11:01 a.m. She weighed 9 pounds and 6 ounces, and was 21 and 3/4 inches long. This labor and delivery was the easiest and most non painful one I have ever had. Seriously, we went in at 5:30 a.m, and had to do a bunch of paper work and questions and stuff, then they took us to the delivery room and let us know it would be a while because they had some moms already in labor and like 2 c-sections going on. I think it was around 7:45 before the nurses even came in there to get me all hooked up and what not. They started my pitocin around 8, but she had checked me right after and I was already a 4, so she got everything ready for my epidural. So before I could even start to feel my contractions, I got my epidural. And I must admit, I actually did shed like one tear on that part, and I was very surprised. It wasn’t my first epidural but it was the only one that ever hurt. But it was just a real sharp pain for just a second. Then after that nothing. No pain, couldn’t even feel my contractions at all, and my last epidurals didn’t work that well. I still had a severe amount of pain with them. So I relaxed for like 2 hours and told Blaine to tell the nurse i was feeling a lot of pressure. She checked me and I was fully dilated and the head was way down there. She told me to push and I told her I thought we should wait for the dr because I am a good pusher and it wouldn’t take me long. She said well that baby is still kinda up there so just push and we will call him later. So I pushed twice, and she was like, Oh we better get him in here! But as soon as she said that the dr walked in the door. I pushed 2 more times and she was here. Again no pain at all. Couldn’t feel anything but pressure. So here I am all pushed out and ready to eat, and the nurse is grabbing my belly and squeezing it like I have never been squeezed before. She and Blaine kept changing the pads from under me, and squeezing and just blood gushing out everywhere. She repeats this about 10 times and I am still gushing, and she tells another nurse that they need the dr back in there. So he comes back and of course I am screaming and crying in pain and I am scared too. He squeezes as well, and I am not talking about a little pushing, I am saying they were grabbing me like pizza dough, I even have nail marks from the nurses fingernails. He orders some kind of pills that are supposed to make the uterus contract and squeezes more. He leaves for about 45 minutes and comes back, and has to manually pull blood clots out of me, that means he stuck his hand up there......Talk about the worst pain ever. Worse than any labor. He orders more pills to be shoved up me, and still blood everywhere. He tells them to get me more epidural to help the pain, and then orders me to have blood asap. Not one pint, not two pints, but THREE pints of blood. They won’t let me eat, I can’t walk, so they wheel my bed to a recovery room where again I am pushed on and squeezed and injected with some strangers blood. He said I could have died, and if I have any more kids, I most likely will.....I wanted my mom so bad. I wanted people to go away and leave me alone because if I couldn’t have my mom I didn’t want anyone else.......Anyways I am confined to my bed for 30 something hours. No shower, no walking, no sitting up for too long. Nurses poking me and prodding me and all these cords coming out all ways of my body. I couldn’t breast feed my baby because every time I tried either she hurt my IV arm, or my blood pressure cuff rubbed her face or certain people in the room making me uncomfortable. Then the nurses kept saying to "get some rest" but the blood pressure thing would ding every 5 minutes and they wouldn’t ever come turn it off unless Blaine went and told them too. Or they were coming in to take blood. Why give me blood if they are just going to take it back? It was a horrible experience and I never wish that on anyone.
I finally got to get up and have a shower yesterday at 11 and then they took all my cords away too. I was so relieved. But I had to stay until today because they made me. Was not my choice! I don’t have tons of pictures of her yet because I can’t get around very well, and Blaine was by my side the whole time so he didn’t care about taking pictures. He just didn’t want his wife to die. He was pretty scared. I am going to rest now and I’ll post some pictures here and in an album in my photos. Thanks for all the comments that were left while I was gone! I’ll take tons of pictures when I can get around better and do more. Right now I am still very sore and weak.
Oh and thanks to Beaners, Jade, Cox, Sheryl, and Jessica for coming to see me!
