Macie Mae arrived via csection Friday April 23rd at 2:12 pm. She was 6 lbs 8 oz and 19 inches long. She is beautiful and very healthy.
I went Friday for my last OB appt and expected to have Macie this coming Thursday. She decided she was ready to come a little early though. We measured my belly and it was still 34 cm, so she had been at 34cm for about 5 weeks. So we did a profile on her to check her fluid, last week at my 38 week appt her fluid was at a 12. This time, it had no measurable pockets. You have to have one 2cm pocket to pass and I did have one, but her cord was in it so we couldn't count it. So the dr, who wasn't my normal dr, said he was going to deliver and I needed to go home and pack. So I went right home and got ready and waited for Devan to come home and get me.
The surgery itself wasn't too bad. They took about a million tries getting my epidural in, and I was starting to freak out I was going to get spinal headaches or be paralyzed. It was awful! But they finally got it and everything went pretty fast. I did get my tubal still! though, I hear its the reason for most of my pain right now, well worth it.
I left my appt just after 11 and Macie was here by 2! We didn't have her named until she was born, but if you meet her you will see it fits our little girl perfect!!
I was really worried what the kids would do when they met her. But Ethan came running in the house yesterday saying Macie Mae Macie Mae and it was so dang cute. He is so sweet and gentle with her. Kinsey knows its a baby... and that's really it I think. She doesn't pay her much attention. But overall they did really well and haven't been jealous yet! Just wait til Im all alone! But that won't be for a while yet. Devan's cousin will be here Sunday to stay the week with me, so that will be awesome!
Macie needs her Momma, she's a bit of a clingy little thing and isn't grasping the idea of sleeping anywhere but my chest!
I didn't even know you had a blog! Stopping by to say hi! I'm following along your blog now. :)
