12月8日 The final update! :) Hey everyone!! I'm finally a mommy!! I did in fact make it to my scheduled c-section on Dec 2nd! So I went in at 6am on Tuesday morning for prep. It was a little scary, and during the actual c-section, I had a reaction to the meds and I threw up for most of my c-section! It took about an hour total, but when I heard my baby girl cry, it was the most amazing experience! Olivia was big, 8 lb 2 oz (so much for all the fear of having a preterm preemie baby) and 21 inches! She was in the 90th percentile for size! She is truly a beautiful little girl and we've been getting tons of compliments on her! She was very healthy, except there is some concern about her hip. We took her to an orthopedic pediatrician today for her first appt. Her left hip is a little loose, so they will keep an eye on it to make sure it improves by the time we go back in two weeks. If it doesn't, she'll have to wear a brace over the next few months to try to tighten it up. However, compared to all the fears I had about cleft palate and effects from my bipolar meds, a small hip issue doesn't worry me too much. I'm home now and in some pain. I have pain killers and these amazingly huge powerful 600 mg ibruprofen, but I still hurt. I'm not able to really pick Olivia up or anything, so my husband's doing the bulk of the work. Luckily, he LOVES being a dad and is soo ok with taking care of his "girls!" I'll be posting pics soon, but I'm waiting til we get real internet this week (instead of the slow dial-up I have right now). Birth (at least in c-section form) was pretty stressful and painful, but it ends up being worth it! My little girl is amazing and I'm already forgetting how miserable I was when I was pregnant.... :) |
