just a little stressfull...

we went into the hospital yesterday, about 3:30 to get set up and be given a topical cream to help speed the process of inducin on Thursday. When we got all situated in the room Mikenna's heart rate began to drop a little and continued to fluctuate. The Dr. decided not to do the cream, see how she does over night and then induce in the morning with a possibility of a c-section if the heart rate continues to drop. The on-call dr. came in around 7 and decided to go ahead with the surgery to stop more trauma that coul come with trying to deliver. It was not an emergency but they didn't want that to happen. Little Miss Mikenna was born at 8:55pm last night (2/4) She weighs 7lbs, 4.5oz and is 19 3/4 inches long. Just Beautiful! She had swallowed some maconium so she went to the transition nursery to be monitored and assisted with clearing her lungs. We went to see her about 1am when they moved me to my room. her lungs were clear but there was a little hole allowing air to escape (this happens in about 8% of infants but is not noticed b/c they are not checked for it- and turn out fine) as precaution they moved her to NICU to be monitored more closely, they think she will be able to jion us sometime this morning. While we were there, we both got to hold her for the first time, WOW!!!
Mike and I are both fine, just wating for more time with her!!!
