I finally have had some time to post some updates on little Sky man! Today our little bundle is 2 weeks old! I cannot believe how fast the time is flying by! Two weeks ago on Sunday, November 22, 2009.. at 12:26pm, Skylar arrived in the world. 6LBS 8 OZ. 19 1/2 IN.. I delivered at Shelby Baptist Hospital.
Here's the story:
On that Saturday night we went to the hospital because it felt like my water was starting to break. When we arrived, they hooked me up to a bunch of monitors to check on little Sky man and they ran a bunch of tests to see if my water had actually broke. One test said yes, the other said no.. hmmm.. I was 3 1/2 cm dilated. The nurse called the Dr. and said since the tests were inconclusive they were going to send me home. so at 8:30 pm I went home..
around 12:30 am I started having contractions.. they were stronger than I had ever had them, but they weren't too uncomfortable so I just kept sleeping.. around 2:30 am they started getting intense and about 10 mins apart. by 3:30am they were 3-5 mins apart. at 5:30am I woke up Landon and let him know it was time to go to the hospital.. I was uncomfortable but I thought I was having false labor.
When we arrived at the hospital, the nurse once again hooked me up to machines to monitor our little man and to check on me. Little did I know at 6:30 am I would already be dilated 5 1/2 cm and admitted into the hospital... I'll skip the rest of the details but by 12:00pm I started the delivery process and 30 mins later Skylar was here!! I told Landon that I don't know how people do not believe in the Lord after giving birth! What an incredible miracle! God is so amazing!
Labor and delivery was definitely a wonderful experience.. not what I expected at all!
SKYLAR IS HERE!
