Grayce's birth was an eventful one for us to say the least. Saturday night 8/22/09 I had some brownish discharge and was expecting to have "the baby" in a few days. That morning around 5 i had a little pressure down in my cervix and assumed that it was just softening a little. I was only 50% effaced and 2cm dilated at my dr.visit a week ago. So i ran a bath and soaked in it for a little while. I was going to try out a new church down the street for the 9:30 service so i had to wake up early anyway. So it started to cramp about every half hour and so i took a tylenol.
I drove to church with the cramping getting a little closer together. I was still sure that it was only softening and that it wasn't a contraction because it didn't really hurt. I got to the church around 9:15 and was looking around. I went to the bathroom and noticed the bloody show. I wasn't thinking anything about it but I called mom and told her that I may have the baby tonight or tomorrow. She told me that Nick came out right after her bloody show.
Church started at 9:30 and the "cramping" got closer together. 5-7min apart and it didn't really hurt it seemed to hurt a little bit more. So I was standing and sitting and singing along with the church. Right before the pastor started his sermon i walked out. I'm sure they were all wondering why the new pregnant lady left right when the sermon started (she hates sermons, doesn't like our chuch, ect) I started to time the cramping accuratly because this had to be contractions (genius that i am finally figured it out.) They were 3-4 min apart. So I drove home and told Matt to wake up and take a shower i think i need to go to the hospital. He layed there and wouldn't get up. I finally YELLED at him to move it, let's go. While he took a forever long shower i was waking Gwyneth up and getting her ready. Then it came time to get the bags in the car and drive to the hospital and he had the NERVE to smoke a ciggerate. I YELLED at him again to move it lets go it's starting to hurt.
As we were driving there he was going under the speed limit, then to fast, ect. I yelled at him evertime i had a contraction which finally felt like a contraction. I wasn't to painful but it wasn't very comfortable either. They were about 2-3min apart now. It took us 20-30 min to get to the hospital and walk up to triage.
Matt dropped me off and i told him to go get Gwyn something to eat and come back after because it took forever to get a room last time when Gwyn was born. I was at the desk telling them i PreRegistered and they didn't have it. So I was having to fill out a form in the middle of contractions, haha. I just couldn't sit down. I had to stand up and walk around. Gwyn and Matt walked out the elevator ..Gwyneth wanted her mommy. Thank Goodness. Finally after about 15-20 min of waiting I asked the lady if i could go back to triage now because it was really starting to hurt now.
In triage they ask me to fill up a cup with pee and undress into the gown. I tried to pee and couldn't, blood was the only thing coming out. So I go and lay down and they hook up the monitor for contractions to me and she says that the nurse will be in in a min to check my cervix. 30 sec later i have a contraction and TELL matt that he needs to go get a nurse NOW i feel like i have to push. He went and told someone and the nurse comes to check my cervix and asks me if I have a hard to reach cervix because she couldn't feel it and then after painfully pushing around there 3 more times says " that feels like your sac" Let's get you a room your 9 1/2 cm. They are pushing me down the hall as i'm having contractions. I get to our room and they are getting the bed layed down and all the tools out. I keep having contractions and it's really hard now to NOT push. I tell them that and they say just breath it out the DR is on his way. So I finally get in the bed and they get the IV in and the DR comes in RIGHT after a contractions. So i have to wait another min for the next one...he says are you ready to push and i'm like yeah 10 min ago!!
Poor Gwyneth was in the delivery room the entire time worried about me. We didn't have enough time to get a babysitter over to watch her...(Joe was in the parking lot right after the baby was born) 4 pushes and 1 little scream/cry out later Grayce came out. They layed her on my stomach and she didnt cry right away. I remember asking them "is she okay?" and 2 sec later she cries. I was so happy and excited. Gwyneth was making sure I was okay and then she was looking in awe at her baby sister. She weighed 8lbs 7 oz, 20.3 in long and 14cm head and chest.
Gwyneth looked at her and said "she's dirty." All we could do was laugh at her. I don't know if she truly understood that this is her sister and they will have to share mommy and daddy now. Gwyn and Matt went to get food and "baby" at as well. She was great at latching on just like her big sister. Grandmothers got there and her uncles and they were all over her. She had the baby acne bumps all over her, no jaundice though.
After everyone left we finally had alone time and decided on her name...Grayce. Gabriella and Abigail just didn't seem to fit after she was born the day before Gary's Birthday. I know God and Gary planned it that way so I would have something to hold and love on the day that all i want to do is cry and miss him. I didn't cry as much as I would have without her in my arms. She reminds me of Gary so much.
Joe, Nicole Watkins, Scott Currey and Amanda Wade were her in hospital visitors. Barbara was her first home visitor. Other than Grandma, Mike, Nick and Nana of course!!
She's breasfeeding very well now. She LOVES it. I try to give her formula and she spits it out. She will let daddy feed her formula when she's starving. However if mommy's holding her she waits me out and cries for the "booby milk" That's what we call it and Gwyn. haha.
When Grayce cries she says "momma feed her booby milk she wants it" and the other day she was playing with her baby doll in the stroller and i was feeding Grayce and she brings me "jackie" and says "feed her booby milk momma" so I was feeding Grayce on one boob and her doll on the other. I just laughed.
9/23/09
One month old now!!
We had a little trouble with her umbilical cord. It was lolng to fall off and at 3 weeks still wasn't off. One day it "popped" and i could get under it and it REEKED. It wasn't infected but it smelled horrible. I could lay her down in front of me and still smell it. So I took her to the doctor (whom i love. Dr. Keopple at North Florida Pediatrics) She cut it off cause it was just dangling by a "thread" then she used silver nitrate to freeze off the granuloma that was there from not drying up the way it should have. Gwyneth was so worried for her baby sister and the doctor "cutting her belly button off."
Gwyneth is GREAT with Grayce. She helps me grab her pacy, blankets, diapers and so forth. She's great at feeding her bottles and burbing her. She loves for me to lay Grayce on her arm so they can watch cartoons and go to sleep together. She does however, try to force the pacy in her mouth sometimes when she's crying really loud, haha (she won't be quiet mommy) and tries to open or close her eyes (which ever mood she's in) other then that she's perfect with her.
Grayce is spoiled rotten now. She has to be held constantly. She's also very gasey but not colic, mylicon is our new best friend. She's very attentive and loves to look around and follow people and things. She also has superman hearing...any noise out of the ordaniary and she flinches, however, if it's the guys or gwyn screaming she's fine, haha. She still has baby acne but it seems to be getting better.
She has found her tounge and voice. She loves to stick that tounge out and plays with it. Gwyn tattle tells on her already when she sticks her tounge out. She coo's and ahh's and smiles at us, especially at Gwyn and her pooh mobile. Shes great at getting her fist, thumb and fingers in her mouth and isn't a huge fan of pacy's but i'm going to try my hardest to not have a thumb stucker.
She now weights 11lbs and is growing fast!! With her head full of hair (hairy ears, back and arms, haha) She has big blue eyes still and they will most likely stay that way. Wonder if they will be blue like mine and Gwyn's or blue-greenish like matt's.
