It all started last Monday at the doctor's appointment. Apparently, I had some fluids leaking that they suspected were amniotic fluid. So the doctor had me admitted to the hospital and they started inducing my labor. I was admitted about 2 PM that afternoon and around 3 AM, after 2 hours of active pushing, in order to keep myself and Abby safe, the best option was a c-section. It is definately not what I had planned, but the one thing that I learned in all my classes, was not to plan on anything! But everything went fairly well and Abby made her appearance at 4:18 AM that morning.
I was discharged from the hospital Friday, but they wanted to keep Abby until Monday to finish her antibiotics and monitor the fluid in her lungs. So, my mom and I moved into a room downstairs near the nursery and she stayed with us over the weekend. We were definitely ready to come home as there is not much to do in a hospital room for a week!!
Here is Abby a few days old in the hospital.
She looks like a little angel when she is sleeping....
Happy Baby!
Here are the flowers I received from Melissa and Jared, my parents, and the Procurement Dept at HQ.
She ended up having five different IV's put in her (she kept pulling them out). This is the 5th one with the little arm splint! It looks oh so sad!
This is us about to leave the hospital. I havent showered in 2 days, but didnt care as I was getting out!
Snug as a bug in my car seat!
Home at last in my pretty pink princess room!
Home Sweet Home!
