Brianna Faith Kidd was born on Thursday, November 8th at 2:24pm!
She weighed 8 lbs. 14 oz! She's 20 inches long!
She's just wonderful! We are so blessed!
Here is our labor and delivery story:
Wed. 11/7, 3:45am - woke up for scheduled induction
5:00am - arrived at the hospital, 4 sticks and 3 nurses later started IV
6:30am - started pitocin, no painful contractions, no progress (stayed at 1cm), dr tried to break water twice (aaa!)
4:00pm - dr stopped pitocin and let me eat (chick-fil-a never tasted so good!), dr started me on sideatec (sp?)
8:00pm - dilated to 2cm, kept getting medicine through the night, had to sleep in uncomfortable labor/delivery bed
Thurs. 11/8, 5:00am - dr broke water (aaa!), started on pitocin again, started feeling painful contractions (aaa!), dilated to 3cm
8:00am - epidural (yeah!)
9:30am - still at 4cm
11:15am - dilated to 9cm, talking about getting ready to push, nurses started monitoring baby's heartrate closer, put me on oxygen
1:54pm - dr told us we had to do a c-section because the baby's heartrate was dropping during contractions and not coming up fast enough, she thinks the umbilical cord is wrapped and the baby won't do good during pushing, so we were rushed to the OR
2:24pm - baby Brianna is born! The cord was wrapped around her body, she was facing the wrong way, and she was too big (8lbs 14oz!) so even if we had tried pushing she would have to come out c-section
Sun. 11/11, 4:30pm - we finally got home from the hospital! And we are all doing well!
So that's our story! We are just so happy she is here and healthy and happy! Thanks for your prayers.
