She's here...

Okay, so it's been a while again, but Nemo has made her debut. I blame the delay on her. :) She was born May 10 and tipped the scales at 6lbs 9oz. Yep, she's a bit on a smaller side! That's okay, though, we like her just the way she is. And, she was 10 days early. It was a crazy first few weeks of May at our house. I went to the Dr on the 3rd for a routine check. Turns out my blood pressure was too high. Since Hubby and Buddy were with me, I blamed them for stressing me out all the time. Which is the truth. However, the dr didn't buy my good excuse and they were a bit concern (seeing how I was puffing up like some kind of parade balloon!) and sent me for blood work at the hospital. By the time we got home, the dr had called back and told me that I was borderline for pre-eclampsia and that I was not going to be working anymore. Yep, my worst nightmare, bedrest. Anyhoo, so I went into work on Monday (wait, hear me out!) at 8am, not at 4:30, and it was only for a little bit.......and I had to call the dr. Well, then I got in trouble for being at work (I swear, it was only for a little while!!) and had to go in again for I can't even remember what anymore, it was either blood work or a non-stress test. Oh wait, the NST was on Friday. Blood work on Saturday, so Monday must've been just a blood pressure check? Anyhow, my labs came back bad, and they scheduled me to be induced on Wednesday and I was put on much stricter (is that a word?) bedrest. Ug. Ug. Ug. Anyhow, Wed came along and I got bumped bc of 3 emergency c-sections and nurses calling in sick. Had to go in for another NST. They moved me to Friday. Then they called and moved me to Thursday. :) So Thrusday am we finally got to go in at about 7:30am. They hooked me up to Pitocin and broke my water around 11:15. Long story short, Nemo made her way into the world after 4 minutes of pushing at 7:27pm. Buddy loves his little sister. :) She's been such a good baby, too (except for feeding issues...). She's very content and easy going...and it looks like at this point she likes the car. God is good! :)

So, now I'm on leave for 5-6 more weeks, but I'm still working 3-5 hours a week. Really, I don't like work that much...I'm just too darn important! :) hahaha.

Anyhow, time to feed again....3 hours goes by very quickly. Especially the 1.5 when both Nemo and Buddy are asleep!!!!!!!
