Gosh...where to start...
Well Saturday Dec. 19th Olive Renae Lamberson entered our world. at 7lb 6oz. and 19in. It looks like she is going to have Hazel eyes and so far her hair is dark and has a little wave to it.
The labor was rough, we had planned to go in and be induced and the dr. said earlier that week that even if we hadn't had that planned he would have done so anyways b/c I was border lining on having too much fluid- poly-something or other. Other than that at the end the pregnancy was pretty good. It took awhile to get contractions going and they had trouble finding a vein for an iv and such. 3 nurses and one anesthesiologist (and several pokes) later IV was finally in. Medicine flowing. Once the contractions came they were HARD, after awhile I decided to go for the epi...wish I hadn't. They couldn't get it in. 45min and 4 or 5 tries later they finally got it. BP was like 200ish/100ish according to Nash- who was having trouble watching and had to sit down, I was screaming, from the epi needle pain, not contractions. Nurses were rushing in, it all started getting hazy. The 1 hour after they got it in she was born. Had I known it was going to be that short of time I wouldn't have gotten the epi.
She came out in a push and a half and b/c she came so fast the fluid didn't get pushed out of her lungs causing her to have to go to the Special Care Nursery for just over 24 hours. God was def. with us cause we thought she was gonna have to be there longer but the dr. called out of the blue a day early and said we could go, that all the tests were fine and she just needed to take an iron supplement! We were soooo surprised and happy and emotional. We didn't tell anyone, we just quietly got her dressed and then showed up where Mom was at home with the boys waiting for her turn to come to the hospital. It was the BEST face ever! Her and Henry were sitting on the couch and so surprised when Nash and I walked in with Olive. I will always remember that moment.
