I do feel bad that I haven’t posted anything to my blog. I was planning on posting something Sunday after church but I took a nap instead, good thing too…..<\/p>\n
My water broke at church on Sunday. No it wasn’t a gushing in Sacrament meeting or anything! I went to the bathroom right after church before going downstairs to have root beer floats in celebration of Father’s Day. The water broke in the bathroom. I went down stairs as casual as I could. Talked to a few people, gathered the family and went home. I was going to try and do something productive in the early afternoon but just fell asleep instead. I woke up at 3 and Alix and Milo wanted to go for a walk so I did. At 3:30 I went upstairs to keep from being “noticed” when I had pain. By 4 I was in a HOT shower. We left for the hospital by 4:30pm. Hayward was full, Santa Clara was full so they sent us to Oakland. An hour later when we get to the hospital I was in a good amount of pain. We checked in a little after 5:30 and the baby was born at 6:45. When I got to the hospital I was at an 8, 90% effaced and 0 station. They rushed me into the room to have the baby but I just got distracted and frustrated and nightmares of 3 more hours of labor hit me and so I demanded an epidural. By the time the dr got there, asked me all the questions, I signed all the paper work and they inserted the needle it was time to push. I had the epidural for about 3 contractions, 3 pushes and they turned it off (a total of about 10 minutes max!!). But it was nice. Since it took a little while to wear off they were able to do a small repair inside, push on my tummy and move me around and I felt no pain. By the time the epidural wore off I hadn’t experienced any of the after birth pain. It was worth it to me.<\/p>\n
Here are the stats:<\/p>\n
Keri Ann was born on Sunday June 15 @ 6:45pm
\nShe weighed: 10 pounds 6 ounces
\nHer length: 22 1\/2 inches long
\nHead circum: 14 inches<\/p>\n
She’s very happy and healthy. They were a little concerned about her blood sugar levels but they were all normal and rising each time they checked. We were discharged from the hospital today, Monday June 16 @ 1:30pm. The kids were all excited to see us come home. They made a welcome home sign for Keri and all wanted a chance to hold her. Except Milo, he has been a little apprehensive about holding his new sister. I’m sure he’ll get a desire to hold her soon. Afton, on the other hand, keeps walking around saying ‘I hold it, I hold it.’ It’s VERY cute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
