January 12th at 820 pm took cytotec to start inducing labor. Cervix was 2 cm.
By 9:30, contractions were more frequent and more intense, but nothing too uncomfortable.
January 13, 2012
At 12:20am took a second dose of cytotec
4:30am brought more cytotec; more frequent and intense contractions
At 8:00 am, cervix was dilated to 3cm and 70% effaced. Dr Frances broke my water at that time.
At 8:45 am, my epidural was started and at 9:00 am, pitocin was started.
I was dilated to 4 cm at 11:00.
At 12:15, I was at 6cm. At this point, I told the nurses that with Emiley, I went from 6 to ready to push in no time flat.
I knew it was time to start pushing, so at 12:58 I started pushing.
No more than 5-10 sets of pushes and 17 short minutes later, Kellcyn was born at 1:15pm.
Adam and I and Nan and Grandma and Grandpa got to hold KB before they took her to get cleaned up.
Daddy got the official stats: 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 20 1/2 inches.
She's sporting quite a bit of dark hair and looking quite adorable.
The nurse reported a little while later that KB was getting a bath and was having a little bit of a hard time breathing and had some green gunk when she was suctioned.
A chest x-ray was ordered to get her lungs checked out...she is 4 weeks early, so lung trouble is pretty common.
She is apparently breathing pretty hard and fast in the oxygen tent, so Dr. L ordered an NG tube for her feedings as of right now, as she is at risk for aspirating anything from the bottle because of her rapid breathing.
That's the latest.
prayers for you all!
