Welcome to Our Blog

Well I guess this is it, I have started our Blog! Well... we had a baby on October 29, 2008. I was in Labor for 22 Hours and Pushed for 3 and 1/2 hrs and they finally had to use forceps to get Whitney out. She finally came out at 2:08 in the morning and weighed 8lbs and 3 ounces and was 18 inches long. When they broke my water they told me that my fluid wasn't clear and that she had a bowel movement inside of me. When she came out she had her eyes opened and was looking all around. She didn't even cry! A team was there to get her going and her breathing wasn't very good she sounded really congested and I started to panic. They wouldn't let me hold her until I was sewn up. The next morning a pediatrition came to my room and told me that Whitney was in the NICU and told me that she had pnumoia. I asked the doctor why? He said that she had asperated the meconium in her lungs and that is what caused the pnumoia. She was in the NICU for Two weeks and she got to come home on November 10, 2008. She is still on oxygen and she is also on a apnea machine that monitors her breathing and heart rate. I am so tired, but I have a great husband that has helped me out! I don't know what I would do without him and I am worried about when he has to go back out on the road what am I going to do. He has helped out so much!
