Introducing.......

So I have been REALLY busy and have not yet posted a blog about my baby girl. Kassidy Lin Johnson was born on August 28, 2010 at 9:01 PM. We woke up that morning at 6:30 AM, because we were supposed to be at the hospital at 7:00 AM to start the induction. They called us 15 mins before we left and said they didn't have room and they would call us before 9 to let us know when to come in, 4 hours later and they called and told us to come in at noon. When we got there they imediatley got us in a room and started the pitocin and 20 mins later my doctor came in and broke my water. Everything was going great until I started feeling my contractions and the nurse said that the anesthesia guy was not in the hospital and would take a half hour to get there, so I told her to call him and tell him to start heading our way.

He got there and gave me the epidural, which made the pain go away... but it started LOTS of other problems with me and Kassidy. A few minutes after I got the epidural Kassidy's heartrate kept dropping into the teens so they would have to keep coming in and turning me from side to side. Then out of no where I started feeling really really tired and dizzy, and almost passed out, the reasoning for that you ask???? My heartrate dropped to 62/34 and they had to rush in and give me a shot of epinephran. It slowly increased after that but would only get as high as 90/64, and they could not stabalize Kassidy's heartrate, so my doc came in and told me that the safest thing to do was to have an emergency c-section. I knew deep down since I was 3 months along that I would have to have a c-section, but it was still hard to hear. The doctor went over ALL the risks which I knew, but it still made me even more scared. I got really upset and started bawling, which made Dave get upset. He was trying to hide it from me, but he was scared and nervous. He kept his cool and kept reassuring me that everything would be fine and we would be able to see our baby girl in a few minutes.

They wheeled me into the OR and made Dave get on the doctor scrubs and mask and got me all prepped. It was a very weird sensation that is very hard to explain, but after 10 minutes of them cutting and pushing her out she made her first appearance to the world. She started crying right off the bat, but she was PERFECT!!!!! Dave went and took pics while they sewed me up and cleaned Kassidy up. Then finally I got to see my beautiful baby girl. The pain from the c-section was unbearable, but I would do it all over again. She has been a wonderful baby who is already on a schedule and sleeps throughout most the night. Dave has been a GREAT help and is a WONDERFUL daddy, and Kruz is the best big brother a sister could ask for.
