Claire Annaliese is here!
So00o0o sorry that I suck horribly I know. I haven't been on since Josh got home I don't think and if I was it was only for a short update, I would have to look back. Things kinda got rough and very messed up after him getting home. We spent his leave together and I didn't get on the computer at all I don't think til like a month after he got home but to check my stuff. I didn't reply to anything, emails, Facebook, here. Just spent most the time enjoying him. I had known before he came home I would be a bit attached when he got home knowing she was coming and it wouldn't be like that afterwards.
When I had my 38 week appointment I told the doctor the night before into that morning I hadn't felt much of her movement. She hated when I would put her under the water in the shower and since the first time I ever felt her move she would go nuts when I did it and she hadn't that morning either. They were going to send me down to labor and delivery at the hospital to be monitored for a bit but the doctor was curious and wanted to do an ultrasound first to check the levels of fluid. My fluid was fine but come to find out the little lady had turned herself around and was now sitting breech. It explained why I couldn't feel her movement but created more issues. They sent me for monitoring and then we tried to do an ECV ( where they press on your stomach trying to get her to turn the right way ) . It was so0o0o painful and they told me she was too high up in my ribs, her head was up under my boob. I held my pain in and was silent except for the look of pain on my face the entire time and tear rolling every once in a while but when I finally couldn't take it I broke out into tears crying and she said they were quiting. We tried acupuncture twice over the next week and it didn't work .
We had scheduled a c section when I was at labor and delivery just in case she didn't turn. I went in the morning of the section and they tried the ECV one more time with the epidural in thinking it would take away the pain . But it didn't. I was only numb up to just below my breast so when they were digging to get her under my ribs it still hurt like hell. They offered to try one more time but I just wanted to have her so I told them no. They prepped me and did the c section.
Claire was born at 8:27 am, 7lbs 6oz, and 21 inches long.
She is beautiful of course. I have pics up on Facebook if I have any of you on there and when I have time I will adjust one and maybe stick it in here. I will write more later but I felt I owed you guys at least that. They denied our extension ( I am not supposed to travel til my 6 week follow up ) and so now we move this coming Monday instead of having til the end of April to get to Grand Forks. Which makes me crazy busy for the next few weeks probably, but we will see. I will get to what I can.
And just an FYI type warning. I have also been considering a new diary and kinda doing away with this one. Just kinda like a new start for the new life I guess you could say. The move, the baby, everything. When I take a huge amount of time away I kinda get like this I guess you could say.
