Officially a GrandmaJanuary 6th, 2007 @ 4:45 pm
As of December 30th @ 5:05am…
Amber went into the hospital on the 29th at 3:30ish and was admitted and scheduled to be induced. her grandparents and I arrived at 6pm.. She had called me in tears wanting me there. She’d changed her mind and wanted me IN the room <3 which made me feel so nice.. :)
I go in and see her, her contractions were steady but they hadn’t put her in the epidural yet, and she was doing real good.. Then when the pains got worse Am asked for it. They got the Doc in to administer it for her, but being that she’s so short.. lol They had to have her sit cross legged on the bed with her bum centered in the bed.. It was rather amusing ;) she was great with them and it went in smoothly. That was about 7-8pm-ish.
Once that kicked in Am was in heaven.. They broker her water, and Lilly had pooped in Am, so they said they’d wait to see a lil longer cause it’s no good the baby pooping in her and all. I’d already forwarned Am about a friend of mine’s daughter doing that to her after 32 hours in labour and they’d had to give her a C-Section..
Am fell asleep for a lil while and we let them rest, then find out when Kenny came out to tell us that Lillys heart beat had dropped and they said that because she’s not moved and no more dialation has happened it’s possible for a C-section.. Wait and see what happens..
lmao The baby hadn’t shifted much, it was becoming uncomfy for Am and she needed to be repositioned in her bed.. So I went and got the nurse cause Kenny was out getting something to eat with Martin(her grandpa) & Kylie(best friend) and it was just grannie and I, not sure where grannie was at the time.. But the nurse was a lil annoyed by it and I got annoyed by her acting like a snob.. So we shifted Amber over, not turning her as the nurse had thought.. Am she was better for a bit. She kept getting pains and was curious as to why because the epidural had already kicked in and now she’s feeling pain and discomfort.. Well it turns out that Lillyian’s spine was rubbing against Ambers, and the reason why she hasn’t crowned anymore or moved was she’d gotten stuck in that position, AND her head was to big to go any further. They’d talked about the C-section some more. This was roughly 11-12am ish..
Then the pain just got to Amber really bad in her back and her legs. She was so good threw it though. Of course she cried and was letting out some frustration and her pain. But overall for Amber’s temper she did really great! I told her she didn’t have to apologize to anyone she had a right to be in pain and she’s not saying or doing anything to anyone personally.. She had some really long and strong contrations and I couldn’t understand her pain because my labour was so easy. And I told her from the begininng just cause you seen my labour and I had a smooth and easy delivery doesnt’ mean yours will be like that. Always try to prepare yourself.. And like i said I think for her age and her temperment she rocked!
After a couple hours of waiting in pain, cause nothing could stop her pain, we just had to wait it out because she was 3rd on the list for the nights C-section, it was busy for C-sections, and because Lilly wasn’t in any distress the others we’re priority.. And of course in pain you are not thinking of that, you just want that baby OUT!! lol
Finally 4:30am rolls around they take her down and by 5:05am they had her out.. hehe We got to see her at 7am-ish after the one rude nurse leaving us waiting the one doctor came by us a couple times and on her way back in took Gail and i in to see them.. <3
We only stayed a little bit, then headed home. After 12 hours waiting for the birth.. lol And another hour or so waiting to see them after.. lol I didn't get home until 9:30am and missed my last two shifts at work. Which was something I don't feel bad for everyone knew that Am was due to have Lilly..
