Here She is!

Around 7:00pm last night our baby came to join us. Mom and Baby (as of right now Brooklyn Rose Adair) are doing well. Brooklyn was 8 lbs 12oz, 20.333inches long. Her head about 13 inches.

Oh wait let's get it out now..Her initials will be B.R.A.,hahahaha. Okay, now we never need to talk about it again... :) Unless they want a knuckle sandwich from Brooklyn. LOL

Our hospital room doesn't allow cell phones, so don't expect the phone to be answered right away. We have a room number, but I am not sharing it, cus Mommy is tired!

So here's what happened after the 9.5 cm epidural. As it was time to start pushing Shantel, the nurse Tia, and I were dilgent in every contraction. Mommy was super tough because she would give 4 huge 10-count pushes during every contraction. After an hour we saw some good progress as Daddy was super pumped to see baby's head started to show. After about another hour to hour and half we could see the baby's head really starting to show. From there Shanny pushed for almost another 2 hours, reaching pure exhaustion, and little baby movement. Meanwhile during this whole process bay's heart rate would drop every so often so mom got to breate with the O2 mask.

So four hours have gone by, and it was time for some assitance, so out came the Vacuum pump. With Big metal forceps on stand by, I told Shanny "We need to get her out now, becuase we don't want to use those Big Salad Tongs!" As the doctor instered the vacuum cap and the nurse began to build pressure, I could see that the baby's heads was beginning to be totally sucked into this little cup. I was like "Holy Cow, we're gonna damage her brain for life." Can you say "Resilient"

The doctor stood at the foot of the bed standing with both hands on the vancuum cup handles. During the next contractions came the beginning of the rest of our lives. Shan began to push like she was Superman stopping the runaway train, and the doc pulled hard! After 3 insane pushes and tugging her head was out and they wanted to get the rest of her out quick. Another 3 HUGE (here life depends on it ) pushes and some sweet manuvering by the doctor, we had little baby completey out.

I was able to cut the cord as they hurried the baby to NICU, as she had Marchonium (sp). Basically means baby was getting to big so she did a little "doo-doo" inside the womb. Well, me not knowing I was like, well who cares, it has to go somewhere what's the big deal. AS you can imagine being dipped in poo and taking your first breathe, it's not a healthy situation. So NICU took some standard agressive matters. To make sure she was okay.

OUr first night went well. Baby is feeding on Mommy and Mommy is doing prettty good considering. I'll let her talk about what a 8lb 12 oz baby does when she is tugged from her little 9 month home... I bet Dr. King can sew a nice quilt because I saw her do some serious sewing last night.... :(
