Well, last Thursday was the day. We went to the hospital for our appoitment at 9:30 and my blood pressure was still high. We were monitored for about 45 minutes and my blood pressure stayed high (not as high as I when I went in but high) and so the nurse did a few more things and decided she should call the Doctor. We waited for about 30 min. before the doctor called back and he decided that he wanted to admit me. So, we walked over to labor and delivery and got set up. Once we were all settled in he called back and mentioned that he would be to deliver at 2:30. The nurse began the preparations for the c-section and my nerves began to grow. Oh, once they started the preparations I was scared to death. At 2:30 the doctor came in and mentioned that they had an emergency that had to go in and so we would be pushed back a little bit. At 3:15 we were on our way to the operating room.
Our little Ellie Joyce Jorgensen was born at 3:47 p.m. and was healthy and screaming. It was such a relief to hear her screaming. She weighed 5 lbs. 8 oz. and was 18 in. long. My health started to get better and the blood pressure was dropping, until Saturday morning and it went right back up. It continued to stay high and so I left the hospital with having to take medicine to control it. Oh the joys of my pregnancies.
Ellie is doing great and we love having her in our home. I was worried about Brylee at first, but she loves her. She always wants to hold her and she is always asking where the baby is. Brylee is such a great big sister. I have not felt very well since I came home and so it is nice today that I feel a little bit better. Cory and I have had a hard time adjusting to getting up at night and training Ellie to sleep during the night instead of the day. We never had to train Brylee to do that because the NICU did it for us. We are finally getting a little more sleep than the first few nights, but I know that it will be a little while before she is fully trained. Anyway, that has been our life for the past week. I will post some pictures below.
Getting ready to deliver, oh I love the fact that I am so swollen!!
