Did a practice pushing run with the nurse, wimpy pushes!
Relaxed for an hour to let the baby drop more
Nurse said to push - 1545
Katelyn was born @ 1611
9 lbs 14ozs, 21 1/2 inches long
Very tiny cut on A.
Doctor said Amy was a 9 on a scale of 10
Doctor also said she did extremely well being that the baby was born sunny side up.

A appears to be doing well. She is already kissing the babies face off.

This sux. A has a lot of pain on her left side. The nurses are monitoring.

A's bp fell to 46/30, dr. Lackore was called back to help.

Doc did an ultrasound and found a large pool of Blood on her left side, he needs to do surgery immediately. She is stable for now after getting loaded with fluids. She is now in prep for surgery.

A was taken to surgery at about 2025. Now i sit here waiting, worrying, already missing her. I love her more than ever!

@ 2145 Dr. Lackore said the surgery went well. A's uterus had 2 radial tears that needed to be repaired. Her cervix was torn and was filled with a large blood clot. She will go to recovery soon and be there for about an hour.

2230, I fed Katelyn 18 ozs of formula. She spit up a little then went to sleep.

2335, A is being moved from recovery to the next holding room. Building 4 west rm 224.

2355, I was brought to A's room by the nurse, regan. Poor A's face is swollen from the IV fluids. She is groggy and in a little pain, but is doing much better than earlier.

It is now 0038 and A is sleeping. I am sitting here looking at her thanking God our family did not lose her. I love her so much and would do anything to take away her pain. It breaks my heart to see her suffer.
