- ahniér mirlande is in the house!! -

yes, she finally arrived - this will be a short post [for me], as i'm exhausted from the past several weeks & i now have a little one that likes to 'visit' during the night
`
to make a long story short [i'll try], i went with 'mama' to the dr. on friday as that was her due date - she agreed that she'd induce that evening, but to expect quite a lengthy labor
`
we arrived on friday evening, she got hooked up & it started...labor that is
`
she labored all night friday, all day/night saturday [yes, you read that right] & then on sunday they gave her an epidural - when that happened, they increased her pitocin up to 30, to get her to dilate - she began complaining of her back hurting & they called the person who'd put it in, to come look at it - they took a bit of time [ok, we'd to wait for quite awhile] & when they got there, they said that nothing was wrong as they didn't take the gauze/tape off, but they did push around in that area to see if there was swelling, etc. & no, there wasn't
`
we then went on with the waiting as mama stayed on pitocin/30 for about an hour - it was at this time she couldn't handle it any longer, so we called again for the lady to come check - come to find out, the epidural had come out & she was being hit with mega labor pains with nothing to help her!!!
`
anyhow, after that, she was exhausted, wore out & discouraged, so the dr. decided to do a c-section - little ahniér arrived at 1:17am, monday morning the 8th of september, 2008, weighing in at 6#11oz & was 19½" long
`
here's some of the pictures that i've taken over the past few days as we just arrived home this afternoon [isn't she a little doll baby!!]
