During the first few months of the pregnancy my mommy was very sick. A nurse would come to our apartment and give her fluids through an IV, and she wore a little pump in her thigh that gave her medicine so she wouldn't throw up all the time. She also got scared cause she had some spotting from a low-lying placenta. They also were affraid she had PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension). Then towards the end of her pregnancy she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
Because my mommy was diabetic, I was getting very big so Dr. Feldman suggested that I come out via cesarean section... My parents had mixed emotions, but after talking about it, they felt it was the best thing to do. So they scheduled it for Wednesday January 17, 2007 at 4:00pm.
It was rainy that day, and after all the prep, I came into the world at 4:40pm.
My daddy held me first and took me to meet my big family who were waiting just outside the OR recovery area. This is a picture of me with my Uncle Derrick and my daddy introducing us. My mommy went to recovery after they finished closing her up so she didn't get to hold me till she was moved to our room.
The 3 of us stayed in the hospital 4 nights. My daddy had to sleep on a little chair that pulled out so he could atleast lay down. The very first night he was trying to change me I peed all over him! My mommy's tummy hurt from the cut they made so daddy was the one who took care of me those first nights. Needless to say they didn't sleep much!
I had a lot of visitors during my hospital stay. This is when I first met my "mama" (My mommy's mom).
We went to thier house after we were discharged from the hospital and stayed a few days so my parents could rest a bit!
My mommy and daddy are very glad that things turned out so well... my mommy is especially glad that she never had to go through labor pains! They liked to look at me, cuddle me, and give me lot's of kisses. That hasn't stopped yet!
