What's Going on With Us at My Silly Birdies :)

Introducing baby Andrew!!

2009-01-24T17:06:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to introduce baby Andrew :) born on Jan.20th weighing 7lbs 15.5oz and 22 in in length.
We could not be any more happier.. he really is our little blessing and I can't stop staring at him. I know every mom says this, but he really is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen :D Looks a lot like his daddy.

Here is my birth story.. and nothing like how I imagined things turning out to say the least..
On the 20th I had been having mild contractions through out the day..
So I took advise from the books, we went walking around grocery store and Costco and got some shopping done.
Got home and felt fine.. started putting groceries away and felt a sharp stabbing pain and then felt a little wet. I thought maybe it was my water or something so just finished off groceries and then went to the restroom to check and the pad I was wearing was filled with blood and when I stood up so was the toilet. I called the hospital and they said to come in.
I had to wait about 15 mins for dh to get home(I had to call him to return home. He had just left to go see the dr as he was not feeling well)
We got to the hospital I think around 4:30ish or so and they took me in to the assessment room .. had me change into a gown and they wanted to look at pad..
they then did some test, not really sure what it was.. everything was happening so fast but it was to try and see inside to see if they could see where the bleeding was coming from(sort of like a pap but they had to keep using these cloths the move clots and blood out of the way(and that hurt!! when they did that) They they did a ultrasound and tested the blood that was taking out from down there. The dr came back in and told me that part of my placenta had come off the wall and that was causing the bleeding.. she did not want to check my cervix because she thought it was low(even though the last u/s said it was fine) so she put me on med to induce labor(forget name.. like I said everything was happening so quickly) So they moved me to a room and stared the IV. the nurse starter med at 2.0 and then slowly moved to 3.0 then 4.0 and the contraction were coming more and more but still just mild.. and all of a sudden I felt a really big gush again and again thought my water broke but when nurse checked there was sooo much blood. She called dr, she could not come because she was in OR but said to stop the med and see what happens. I got up and went to the restroom at this time also and there was a really big clot in the toilet and also just full of blood..
After the IV was stopped the contraction were less and less and even more mild.. dr got out of OR said to try the med one more time so the nurse did .. starting slow again.. then dr actually came to room and nurse showed her the pad with all the blood and told her about the clot and blood in toilet and she came over and talked to dh and me.. saying that she was really uncomfortable with seeing that amount of blood and was not going to be taking it lightly. She said she really felt c-section was my only option .. she felt that if she let me keep trying to labor and the way it was going(not strong, and I could not take the med to help along) that I could bleed out. So I was wheeled to OR right then and baby Andrew was delivered about 10 mins later. He was born @ 10:24pm on the 20th .. weighing 7lbs 15.5 oz and 22in in length. Dh and I totally feel in love when we saw him. I LOVED the look on dh face and how excited he was.. it was like he because an instant dad.. I mean he did, but now I got to see the love and excitement he felt.
Andrew is has been doing good, he is a good eater.. and poops and pees good also. He is already over that black tar poop!!
I have been breast feeding in hospital but am finding it REALLY hard only because it hurts so bad. I had soo many nursers go over it and over it with me and I really think he is latching on right but I'm not sure why I am feeling so much pain. I do have the pump here and I would like to try using that.. but for now he is mostly being fed formula(I feel like such a failure.. but when I was only bfing he would scream and scream for more but nothing would come out) At least now he is getting full and that makes us all happy.
I'm sure I'm leaving lots out..

Just becuase I love you all....

Hey!
Everything is going good with the pregnancy! I did have a bit of a scare on July 3rd.. I started bleeding a lot.. so dh took me to the ER. We got to see baby on u/s there at the hospital.. he/she was moving all around :D My OB had me go get an ultrasound when I was 12wks to make sure baby was okay and everything appeared to be just fine. Baby was moving all around again and I got to hear their heart beat(158 bpm) Just so amazing!
Here is a LO i did with one of the ultrasound pictures. I have an appt next week for a NT Scan, so will get another peak at the baby :D
