Welcome baby Isabel!

 

[ireland_nicole]

Hi everyone! I'm way far behind and really have no hope of catching up, so I hope you don't mind my just jumping in. As the Facebookers know, our crew has been sick FOREVER. We've had some major dramahs going on as well but hopefully that will settle down soon.

I did finally get a project done, just in time for the movie! Emmy "designed" it all, I was just the mouse doing her bidding! I think when it frays I'll like it more...

Love it!!

I don't know if I will EVER catch up, but I will try. . . I'm way back on thread 17. . .

For those of you who don't know the baby (Isabel) was born on 10/16

Here is the wayyy long birth story (FEEL FREE TO SKIP):

On Wednesday October 14 at about 5 am I had what I thought was a leak of fluid. I went to the birth center and the strip tested positive for amniotic fluid. They had me go have a good breakfast and then come back (we chose Denny’s). We returned to the Birth Center, and I stayed there and sent Dennis to work (he was only working until 1pm). I was at 1.5 cm’s. They had me walk a lot until noon, and checked me and nothing, so they started me on the breast pump and I was getting some contractions. After we had lunch they decided that maybe it was a high leak and not an actual tear in the sac down low (because they could still feel the bag of water around the baby’s head. They did a fern test and it was negative for amniotic fluid, so they decided that it wasn’t my water braking after all. I went home showered and then headed to the hospital or a biophysical ultrasound – baby scored 8 out of 8, and fluid was at 17 (should be between 5 and 20 – he expected I’d be around 10 being at almost 40 weeks). So I went home and got a good night’s sleep (minus all the potty breaks). I also took it easy the next morning.

I tried to stay in bed as much as possible, but started getting some contractions in the morning (got nervous and decided to lay in bed some more, because Dennis had to work until 9pm that night). I guess I panicked that it may finally be time, even though days before I couldn’t wait for it to be time. The contractions got regular around 1/2pm – they were 15 minutes apart then. They got closer and closer as the day went on. Round 6pm I took a long hot shower to relieve some of the pain, the contractions were 5-7 minutes apart then. Around 8/9pm I sent Dennis a text message that I was having pretty regular contractions, that he didn’t need to leave early or rush, but that he should come home as soon as the class he was teaching let out. Dennis didn’t get home until 10pm that night – and by then they were 3-5 minutes apart, I tried to ignore them as much as possible during dinner (but I didn’t get much food down, my mother-in-law had cooked and I think she thought I didn’t like her cooking, it was a good picadillo (Cuban beef dish) but it was hard to eat when in so much pain. I continued to try to ignore the contractions as much as possible during Grey’s anatomy and Private Practice, but at 11pm we headed out to the Maternity Center because they had been 3-5 minutes apart for over an hour.

We arrived at the Miami Maternity Center before midnight. I was 3cm dilated, 80% effaced and baby was at 0 station. They usually do not keep you until you are 4cm dilated, but they decided to have me stick around for at least a couple hours to see if things were progressing, especially since my blood pressure was a little high (140/90) and so was my temperature (100). They had me pick out a movie (I chose Bog Daddy) and they put it in. I cuddled some in bed with Dennis, tried to get some rest, but really couldn’t. My BP did go down a little bit, according to the midwife that was short lived only until my mom arrived. My mom and grandmother arrived around 1am (the 15th was my mom’s birthday). I spent the whole night with contractions – walking a bit both inside the birth center and outside, got in the hot tub, tried to sleep, etc. It was very painful, but I was doing ok, especially in the water. The hot tub was HEAVEN. I didn’t have them turn on the jets, but just the warm water and the buoyancy was heavenly.
I was starting to think that I wasn’t going to be able without pain medication and started getting worried. The midwives were great in getting me through my contractions, but it was much more pain than I imagined it would be. Worse than my cancer pain back when I was searching for a diagnosis, and I thought that was horrible. My BP and temperature were a bit high again, which was a concern. They stayed that way and when my water broke at 4am there was meconium. That scared me a lot and with the midwives support we got transferred to the hospital (North Shore, in Miami). To some extent I am saddened that we went – everything went totally different than I had planned at that point, although I am happy and grateful that both the baby and I are healthy.

We arrived at North Shore some time before 5am. The walk from the ER to the Labor and Delivery floor was tough. I was surprised they didn’t offer a wheelchair. I had to keep stopping for contractions. Upon arrival I was given room 304, and a great nurse, although check in was a pain. I was 5cm when I got there. After all the check in formalities (blood, IV, give a urine sample, give us all your health history, etc.) the doctor decided to give me magnesium for the BP and wanted to start me on pitocin since the baby was low and thought I would go fast. They offered me pain medication at that point and said I should get an epidural. I was so exhausted at this point I went with it. It was around 9am when the anesthesiologists finally came, and apparently I got the worst of the three, he stuck me 11 times and NO LUCK – he kept hitting the bone! It was super hard to sit still during all my contractions for about an hour while he kept messing up. The nurse offered to get him the ultrasound machine to be able to see better, but he didn’t accept, he was hesitant. Finally he allowed another anesthesiologist to try and he got it n the first shot, but they decided only to put a ¼ dose of med’s in. So at 10 am after being in labor for 20 hours I had some short lived pain relief. They started the pitocin. Hen the doctor came in he did the longest exam EVER – I asked him to stop because the pain med’s had worn away and it was just too painful. He said there was a lot of meconium and for the baby’s safety suggested a c-section, at that point I wanted to wait it out some. He also suggested maybe the baby was too big for me – I said that argument wouldn’t work on me, I had only gained 5 lbs the whole pregnancy and at the ultrasound on Wednesday the tech said she was between 7-8 lbs. Plus the midwives had warned me they’d try that because I am overweight – but I took care of myself during the pregnancy. But they had someone else come and basically told me if the baby aspirated it she could die. Around the same time, the anesthesiologist gave me a full does of pain med’s and the baby’s heart rate dropped to the 60’s for about a minute – that was VERY scary. So at their insistence and for fear of harming the baby I agreed to the c-section. That part went very quickly. At 12:13 pm Isabel made her dramatic entrance to the world – and she was STILL pooping even as they were wiping her down. She was smaller than we expected/imagined and thank God she did not aspirate any meconium. We got to hold her until they were ready to finish the surgery and then I had Dennis go with her to the Nursery. I was taken to recovery. As soon as she got hungry they brought her to me and I got to nurse her for the first time, right there in recovery. As soon as she was born and all was well my BP was low for me – staying around 115-120/60-70 until the day I left the hospital. I have some doubts of whether or not I should have said ok to the c-section. A lot of days I wish I had waited a little to see if the pitocin dilated me fast enough to push her out – but in the end all I prayed for the whole pregnancy was a healthy baby (and my health) and that is exactly what I got.

The spinal tap headache started almost immediately – but they were controlling the pain with some shots. So two days later (the 18th) the baby and I went home. Things got progressively worse – until I couldn’t stand the pain just to sit up to nurse Isabel. On October 23rd I went to urgent care and they told me to go back to where I delivered, so I decided I’d go in the morning. The 24th I fed the baby, showered and headed over to North Shore, I arrived around 11 am. It wasn’t until 9pm that an anesthesiologist came in to do a blood patch, he poked me another 16 times to get the space. In the end it didn’t work, so Sunday the 27th I went to Baptist Hospital (my favorite hospital in Miami) and they did a CT scan. They told me there was barely any of the needed fluid around my brain and that was why I was in so much pain. They admitted me to the hospital and at 4pm the next day, Monday, they did a successful blood patch under fluoroscope. Everyone there was amazed at home many times I had been poked! They counted 16 scabs at that point. The doctor said he had NEVER seen anything like it. Since it was under fluoroscope he got it in the first try. I started to feel better almost immediately, but it took a few days to feel back to normal in that respect. Thankfully we are well now, just the normal struggles of being sleepless and with breastfeeding.

We are hoping to find a doctor that would be willing to attempt a VBAC for the next time. But that isn't on the radar yet

Oh honey. First of all, Isabel is so beautiful, and as you know, well worth everything you went through to have her. Second, it's ok to feel whatever you're feeling about the birth. Yes you have a healthy baby, and that is what matters. But at the same time it's ok to grieve the birth experience that you expected and prepared for. It's ok to cry about it, and hope the next time will be different, and be scared of the next one as well... it's completely normal to feel all of those things. It's also normal to feel guilty- but it's not healthy or productive, or true. You made the best decision you could at the time and with all the factors happening all around you. You made those decisions for the sake of your baby's health, and they were good decisions, with a good outcome for her. Instead of concentrating on what you wanted for you, you focused on what was necessary for her. Might you do some things different next time? Sure (I bet you won't be anxious for another epidural for one- although I have never before heard of anyone getting stuck so many times- I promise that's a one off). Please don't waste energy wondering if you did something wrong- you didn't. I'm grateful you're both ok, and I bet your DH is too. Enjoy your precious gift.

THANK YOU!

 

[teresajoy]

Thanks... I am due April 19th but hoping to go a week early... I try to induce around 39 weeks. I did with Jojo and Nicholas. Anastasia went almost 3 weeks late and that I will not do the same.

Lori

THREE weeks!! ahh!!
I had Arminda and Lydia at 39 weeks. I had planned c-sections. One labor was more than enough for me!! Corey was born right on his due date.

My first time holding her:

Wow, that was quite a labor. I'm so glad that you are both ok. Isabel is just beautiful!

 

[Adi12982]

Wow, that was quite a labor. I'm so glad that you are both ok. Isabel is just beautiful!

It's been a day already. And it's not even noon yet! I had a serious freak out moment. I went to turn my sewing machine on and the lcd screen started blinking really weird and I couldn't use any of the buttons. When I would try to stitch it would stitch BACKWARDS!!!! Turned it off, switched plugs, switched surge protectectors, smacked the side of it and completely unplugged it and just walked away. Nothing seemed to work. I came back 20 minutes later and it magically started to work again. Now I'm scared to turn it off for fear that it won't turn back on. It's an older machine. I'm just hoping it gets me through christmas. Then, while brushing my darling 5 year olds hair to get her ready for school, I discover that she's cut her hair!!!!! This is the 3rd time she's done this. 3rd time!!!!! It makes me crazy. I guess I'm going to have to put all my sewing scissors up on a high shelf with a lock on it or something because she seems to get the ones out of my sewing case. I'm so frustrated right now I just want to scream!

I can't help you at all on the haircut front. I would come close to murdering my dd if she cut her hair. She's never had it cut other than trims. However, if it makes you feel any better in regards to your sewing machine let me give you a list: In June we had to have our a/c replaced. Last month it was the furnace (trust me, sewing machines are a wee bit less expensive -- and I had to pay for it the very same day I had to make our final Disney payment which I almost canceled). Then my steam cleaner broke (we have three cats and two puppies so I had to buy a new one), then my vacuum cleaner broke (didn't buy a new one yet -- but must b/f Thanksgiving) and the latest ~ our dishwasher broke! Our savings is close to wiped out.

If you've been around a while, this little turkey might look familiar! I did it by hand a few years ago for Sawyer. But, I digitized it this year and made him a new shirt. He still loves it! Check out Tessa's missing teeth! She's had 3 front teeth fall out in the last couple of weeks and one more is really loose! She's talking with the cutest little lisp right now!

He insisted that Tessa had to be in the picture, too! Stephres made the jacket that Tessa is wearing, so it's appropriate that she's in the picture.

Here's my little bitty Sawyer with his first turkey shirt. I can't believe how little he was!! He must have been about 17 months old. *sigh* I need a baby!

Adorable! I remember that Turkey quite well from your applique tutorial. Can't let dd see that jacket -- I have no spare horse material sitting around.

Most of my facebook friends have seen this already, but I can't resist sharing it- even though I haven't made it into anything yet. I drew this and digitized it yesterday and I think she turned out SO cute! I'm going to put it on something for Tessa for when we see The Princess and the Frog. But, I haven't decided what to make yet.

I think that's one of my favorites as far as your princess cuties goes!

has anyone seen this???? I am in love with it!! I need it.... acckkkk.....

Lori

I think I might *need* that as well; however my dishwasher just broke.

Everyone lately has been talking about starting there first feliz. I just finished my first this week. I think it was easier to put together then I thought it would be. I already bought Princess Tiana material for a spring feliz.

The front

My little model is at grandparents, also it will be a couple weeks before she wears this dress.

And here is the back

Great job! Love all the Christmas ruffles!

Well I posted earlier today about finishing my first feliz. I also made my first bowling shirt for DS yesterday. DS usually wears uniforms to school, but they had a dress down day today so I finished his bowling shirt so he could wear it today. He picked out the batman material. I took the advice of others and didn't line the shirt.

Front

Back

Love that pattern and I can tell your ds really likes the shirt as well.

To those of you headed for MVMCP:

1) Wanna take me along???

2) I'm planning to go next year and want to make my daughter Cinderella's gown and jacket she sometimes wears in the winter. She was not in her jacket at the party we went to last year, but I have seen pictures from this year when she did. I think she was in the parade in her jacket last year.

I'd like some pictures of her jacket if anyone gets some.

Thanks in advance!

1) YES!!!! As long as you bring your camera and share it with us I will bring you along. My vacuum and dishwasher broke this week so now any hope of a new camera is gone....gone....gone

2) I can take some pictures for you, but they will probably be out of focus b/c that's what my current point and shoot seems to like to do to me.

Some of you may remember when I bought her a Bratz sewing machine at a garage sale only to get home and discover that it didn't work- at all. She was so disappointed. Well, I decided to buy her a real sewing machine, just one that's small and kind of slow. I was playing with it today when she was at school and it seems like it works really well! It had great reviews, too. I bought hers on for $39.99 w/ free shipping. It's called the Janome Sew Mini.

Does this one have a light? Both my ds and dd would love machines and I heard the Hello Kitty one was nice but didn't have a light. Lights are crucial for me.

Hi everyone! I'm way far behind and really have no hope of catching up, so I hope you don't mind my just jumping in. As the Facebookers know, our crew has been sick FOREVER. We've had some major dramahs going on as well but hopefully that will settle down soon.

I did finally get a project done, just in time for the movie! Emmy "designed" it all, I was just the mouse doing her bidding! I think when it frays I'll like it more...

Wow! Looks like you are keeping busy with your new machine! Sorry all have been so sick though.

What a beautiful baby! I love all her hair.

I am so sorry the birth didn't go as planned. I'm really sad you had to have a hospital transfer, and then your experience there seemed like a complete nightmare -- particularly the epidural. For the birth I did at the hospital they really listened to me and our birth plan and not once did they offer me anything for pain. Hospitals are just so bent on what most women do and just can't grasp that there are women who want natural births and women who don't want c-secs. I know if it wasn't for your elevated BP and the meconium that the birth would have been so much easier. My ds passed meconium so they "had to cut the cord right away so the ped team could evaluate him." Two minutes later the ped team arrived. I am still furious over that. They could have waited two minutes.

Anyhoo, you have a beautiful little girl ~ let the sewing begin!

[mom2rtk]

Thank you for your words! I know I am blessed with my healthy daughter - and for that I am thankful - and you are right I made the best decision for the issues I was presented with We are all thrilled the two of us are doing well

What an amazing birth story you have! I can tell you're already getting over the trauma of it. I promise that every birth experience is very different. I refer to my first delivery as my trip to the "dark side" (now that the boys are older and we've done the whole "Star Wars" thing...) It was scary and painful, and I did at one point feel it would probably just be easier to die...... Yet oddly enough I jumped in and did it twice more! It felt SO healing to have an amazingly easy and uneventful delivery two years later.

 

[HeatherSue]

Wow, she did a great job designing that and you did a great job making it! How did you do the family crest? Is that painted? Very cool!

Adi, she is such a gorgeous baby!! I read your birth story and I was on the edge of my seat. Seriously, I love a good birth story, or a good adoption story! My birth experience with Tessa was NOT a good one- in labor for 22 hours, mean nurses, my midwife wasn't there, etc... But, Sawyer's was completely the opposite- in labor for 3 hours, wonderful nurses and my midwife was there. With Tessa's birth I didn't have nearly as much pain as i did with Sawyer's, which is good because it lasted longer! But, both times I sure got something wonderful out of it!! Congratulations!!!!!

Thank you both for the compliments and the welcomes. Your kids are all beautiful too! That Saywer is going to be lady killer!

Awww....thank you!! He is a little lady killer. He seems to attract older women.

Does this one have a light? Both my ds and dd would love machines and I heard the Hello Kitty one was nice but didn't have a light. Lights are crucial for me.

Nope, no light. I was also disappointed that you can't vary the stitch density for the zig-zag stitch, just the width. So, she won't be able to do pretty appliques with it! I don't think I'll need to worry about that for a few years though!

Hello,

Just had to share my excitement. We are leaving for DL tomorrow morning at 5am! So excited! I am not anywhere as organized as you all...so I have nothing packed...still have one dress to finish (buttons, button holes, and ruffle) and one boy T'shirt with an applique (not clue what to do) and pack. Oh, and did I mention I work full time so wont be home till after 5 tonight. Guess I'll be up till midnight! But well worth it. I'll have lots of pic's to share when we get back.

Looks great. Glad he likes it.

What a cute little machine. Hope she enjoys it.

That is great. Such a creative daughter you have.

She's modest, covering up, lol:

Oh my. My hospital here is so good, they promote natural childbirth, and bfing and don't offer C-sec, unless you really need it. I am always disappointed when I hear that in other places they don't offer the same support.

Anyway, glad things turned out well, and she is a real cutie. Love all the hair, both my boys (and me too) were born bald.

I made my first Olivia the other day. Just for fun, I don't have anyone to give it to. I made the smallest size and I really like the way it turned out. Just wish I knew a little girl that size to model it for me.

Congratulations!! She is a beautiful baby. Her Birthday is two days after my new little nephew!

I am so sorry things didn't go as planned. I understand completely though, I had a couple of very scary births and it is hard to end up with a c-section. I really didn't want to be my Doula's first c-section. The merconium is scary though so I would have done the same thing.

Thank you for sharing her pictures. Did she get to wear her Halloween costume? Off to peek at the pictures on Facebook.

I was hoping the nurse would come out! Lydia gets UTIs quite often (use to be earinfections when she was little). So, I am wondering if she has that too.


Yep, that's about right. They did tell me that if she was worse Monday to bring her in too. But, they said if I did bring her in, and it wasn't H1N1, that we would both have it by the time we left. They said they weren't giving out prescriptions to Tamiflu (unless they were high risk) so there wasn't anything they could do. I'm actually glad they didn't have us come in if they couldn't do anything.


I know! I really don't think I'll be calling the office if Lydia can't breathe! We live about 2 miles from the hospital, so I'd probably just drive her there! She gets UTIs quite frequently, I'm sure I could get her in by telling them I thought she had one. She use to get ear infections ALL the time too. Actually, now that you mention it, she did say her ear hurt last night.

Well they can't do anything if it's just the flu, but if some other stuff arises, they can do something. Each MD's office should have masks available for patients. If you need to go, ask for one of them for you and Lydia! I hope she is feeling better, but if her ear hurts, I'd call It sucks to be sick that long no matter what!


To Isabels momma, I have delivered 4 children. One completely natural, 2 with epidurals and one emergency c-section. I don't think there is any right or wrong way to have a baby. Dissapointment, sure, but trust me, the 3 surviving kids I have were worth however they came. And I've seen babies with meconium aspiration, and it's not a good scenario. Getting your baby out by c-section was the safest way to go! Besides, now when one of your children ask "How did I get out of your tummy?" You can show them your scar. Thats a little bit simpler than the correct anatomy

This sounds like me. I stayed up until 2 am the night before we left, then I had to go to work (I had to pick up my paycheck) for the morning until I could check the kids out of school.

We got out on time though and we had a great trip. I hope you have a great trip as well.

That is really cute. I want to get that pattern. I am trying to decide what to make DD for her Thanksgiving outfit. I have a corduroy and two coordinating prints. And a very picky little girl. I would love to make her an A-line jumper but she hates dresses. Back to browsing the patterns at YouCanMakeThis.com

Thank you!! We are eating at 1900 Park fare. After reading all the stories on here about how they interact I knew I wanted a steps dress instead of cinderella!!

Thank you!

My first time holding her:

Congratulations!! I had a somewhat similar birth story with my little one! Although I only had to have 2 epidurals - I wasn't stuck over 11 times - I can't imagine!! Even though I didn't want it in the beginning, the c-section was definitely worth it!
