Time to End

I am so crazy busy with a toddler and a newborn, I don't have time to write posts.  I will still read your blogs, but just can't find time to write my own.  So I guess this is good-bye for now.

Craziness

3 weeks ago I had a beautiful baby girl!!!!  July 14th we were scheduled for induction, well baby was head up, tried to move her, but she didn't want to move, we got sent home.  Had an apt. the following monday, baby was head down, had another non-stress test, it was irregular (only because of the way the nurse had me laying, but that is a long story)  so we had to have an ultrasound done to make sure baby was doing ok, well baby didn't "practice" breathing (which the ultrasound techs don't always catch the baby "practicing" breathing) but since they didn't see the baby breathing, we had to go to the birth center to be monitored for a couple of hours, and got sent home, because baby had a perfect heart rate and perfect peaks as they like to see.  So we scheduled another induction on the 22nd.  We go in to the birth center, do the ultrasound and baby's head is up AGAIN!!!  Geez, she didn't want to come out!  This time they gave me drugs to help with the pain of the external version, and they got her turned to head down, broke my water, and put a belly band on me and she stayed put. YAY! 7:20PM rolls around and baby's heart rate drops dramatically, a gazillion dr.s and nurses come in the room.  so the nurses put me on my left side, baby's heart rate drops even more, nurses roll me back to my right side, baby's heart rate slowly comes back up to normal (thank GOD!) baby just moved further down into the canal and pinched the cord a little.  7:50 rolls around and I feel the urge to push.  7:55 our beautiful daughter was born!  And it's been crazy ever since!  With a 2 year old and a 3 week old, oh boy it's a challenge sometimes.  Especially when I'm nursing and our son gets into anything and everything.  But I wouldn't change it for the world!  After being diagnosed with Endo 4 years ago I didn't think I would be sitting here with 2 miracles of life today.  I feel truly blessed!  And hopefully our next one doesn't take as long as #2
