happy
* Friday Already *
Its been a while since my last post but for good reason.
Well last thursday was a long day. I got tired of waiting to see Donna i did everything i could do to progress my labor I MEAN EVERYTHING
i would walk up and down my stairs as much as possible
i would be the one ALWAYS taking the dog out
when i did i would walk around my front and back yard as much as i could
i was doing sitting lunges and kegals and pelvic tilts everytime i took her out
i took a nice warm bath and did some kegals
once i got out i did some more kegals pelvic tilts and sitting lunges
well after tiring myself out i went to bed around 10pm
and of coarse couldn't sleep so i started to do some kegals til i feel asleep
well at 10:30 i got a contaction checked my watch went back to sleep
jayson came up to bed and we di what most couples do when there in a bed together and not sleeping
then went to bed i was still getting contactions but not as often so slept them off
come 2:30am i just couldnt sleep anymore
so i got up and walked around the house timing contractions..
i have timed 5 contactions and they were 2-3 mins apart
not the 4-5 mins like i was told to call the dr at.
i woke up jayson he got hectic and was rushing i was all calm and cool..lol
i called the dr on call and she said okay..
so we went to the hospital
jayson had to stop at the local gas station
to get him a soda a candy bar and a can of chewing tabbaco
he came out and asked are u sure ur in labor(with kali i had false labor 3 days b4 i had her)
i said yes they checked me in hooked me up waited for 20 mins and then i was allowed to do what needed to be done
i walked for like an hour off and on wasnt working(did with kali though)
the rest of the time i set in the bed handled the contractions
then my water broke it slowly leaked and then created a forebag...a pinched pouch of ammiatic fluid
so the popped it still doing fine the contactions were flying by i was getting tired but still strong
then i dilated to the point were my body was saying push and it was real hard to control those
and let them just roll off .... i did 6 contractions with those and it was hard relaxing my butt muscles causing more pain.
and they kept doing cervix checks and donna was facing upside down i cant remember if that is her ead was facing down or facing up.....
anyway a couple hard contractions later my body is tired of waiting i have to push so i pushed and pushed
5 mins later she was out.....
now with kali the 3rd hard contaction i wanted to push and was told not to push like i was with donna in that case i had a little tear with kali
after her birth followed the rest of the good stuff but it just set there.....and it felt werid just throbing then it came out a few mins later.
with kali it came out with in seconds after having her.
after taking out the sac the examed me no tearing or any stitches needed.
The staff was so please how pleasent i was during labor and delivery other than the contractions i was completely fine and normal.
right after birth they wanted to make sure i didn't hemmorage so the first thing after bith the did was beat my tummy as a punching bag and bbbbbbbboooooooooy did that hurt.
i got up went to the restroom put on a wonderful diaper they changed my sheets i began to feed donna the "natrual way" and then the contactions from after labor and feeding her were painful
yah i know i went through labor DRUG FREE yet now the slightest bit of pain is killing me.
i once again got comfy and then had a bit of breakfest had maybe 30 mins of nappping and was moved to my new room for the next couple days
got lunch and ate breakfest,lunch and dinner on there scedule i even had salmon and it was goooooooooood
the staff was great with helping me they were a wonderful bunch of ppl and i thank the staff at

by friday night as the family was going home i was so ready to depart with them i missed them so much
i didn't want them to leave me here.
by saturday jayson arrived and i had just woken up and needed to take a shower meet with my dr and donnas dr for discharging i wanted to leave at 9:30am but didnt leave til 2pm......
i came home to find that miss kali was being spoiled while i was gone.........not by mamaw but by daddy...shocking huh
she got 2 new pairs of shoes tennis shoes(that light up all around) and dress shoes socks a brand new twin bed(she had a toddler bed b4) and a tricycle but when i was home i just added to the spoiling and got her a play tent and a new toy
the first 24 hours of being home were hectic donna had a poop spree and was filling her dipers left and right with nothing but poop....
althought i still have no pain the bleeding is manageable its not alot like with kali the only pain i have is the occasional cramps from my uterus contracting back down to its normal size
over the coarse of the week things have gotten better i took donna in for her 1 week appointment
and she was doing just fine and weighed in at 7lbs and 4 oz

donna came in at 6lbs 14 oz 12 hrs of labor and 5 mins of pushing no drugs(yes thats right) upside down no tearing or stiches on thursday febuaray 23rd 2006 at 9:39am
kali came in at 6lbs 14 oz 15hrs of labor and less than 30 mins of pushing i had nu/morph(nubain and morphine) she came out the right way i had a slight tear with some stiches on tuesday november 25th 2003 at 10:25pm
