Journey arrived on 8 April

[AprilBby15]

Journey Mae is here! Born at 39-3wks. Went to L&D @ noon, to be sent home (2 cm dilated and contractions 3-4min apart). I was so sick at home and wasnt able to keep anything down, every contraction brought more vomiting. So we went back to L&D to (at 2 pm) beg for iv fluids and nausea med so I could bear laboring for a few days (they swore I wouldn't have her for at least one more day being a ftm). Turns out I was now 7 cm just two hours later and my water bag was bulging out. Had to wait for forever for labs to come back for my epidural. Once epi was in at 8 cm, they broke my waters. Baby girl had passed A LOT of meconium from being distressed and her heart rate had been dropping with contractions. I pushed less than 15-20 min and she was blue when they pulled her out. My mom went with her to the heating table where they intubated her and pulled all fluid and meconium out and they suctioned her out and rubbed her with towels. Hearing her cry was the most beautiful thing on this planet! They handed her to me and I immediately fell in love. Born @ 810pm, 6 lbs,7 ounces, 20.75 in long :)
