UPDATE: Caitie came home on Thursday. She is doing super!! Here is a picture of my littlest princess on her trip home from the hospital.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went in for my NST this morning with what I thought were just some bh contrax.They were so regular that they sent me to labor and delivery.
When I got there, they were still just tightening pressure, not really painful. However, my bp was ridiculously high and was not going down between contrax.
They gave me some IV fluids, continued monitoring me. The contrax started becoming painful and continued around 2 minutes apart. They did decide to try and stop contrax and get my bp down, but they could not. I heard one of the nurses tell another one that my doctor decided to do the c-section today because there was some variables today (in regards to her heart rate).
So .... Miss Caitie was born by repeat c-section at 5:42 pm. She was breach, but also a bit transverse. Even at 34 weeks, she weighed more than Ben did at 35 weeks and 6 days. She is 6 lbs. 2 oz. and 18 inches long. She looks like a mixture of Ben and Sarah. She's as cute as a button...a little chunky thing. She has my big lips. lol Not much hair on her head, just a little darker colored in Caesar-like style, which will probably fall out.
Her apgars were 3 and 9 as she had a bit of problems at first breathing. All babies born this early are immediately brought to NICU for observation where there's a minimum 48 hours stay. She is having a little problems with breathing. They haver her on CyPap (had been on CPap, but it wasn't quite enough). They said if she stabilizes where she doesn't need the small bit of oxygen that they're giving her, she could possibly go home with me. So please pray that she does start breathing without problems on her own.
Dh took some pictures and will be attempting to put them on our home computer tonight. I usually do that, but he had to leave the hospital to get our kids from the sitter's. My mom and dad "should" be here by late tomorrow night.
I am currently on a hospital laptop. Healing well....probably in here until Saturday. Other than being a sweaty mess and itchy all over from the meds., I am doing well and in shock that I've already given birth to Caitie. I still don't think it's sunk in yet. lol I will post pictures as soon as I can.
