I love you to the moon and back.: Lillian's birth story...from what I can remember

On Friday May 13th I had an appointment with Dr. Lattimore to check on Lily and see if we were for sure going to induce on the 16th at 37 weeks due to IUGR. Dr.L sent me to the high risk office for an amnio to check lung maturity. During the amnio they discovered Lily had already pooped in there. They decided to send me straight to the hospital for induction instead of waiting until Monday because they were afraid she was under distress which was kind of obvious since she was concidered IUGR. It was only my luck but that day there was something wrong with the Verizon phones in our area and I could not make calls to let anyone know. The only way I could communicate was via Blackberry Messanger. Thankfully my best friend had bbm so I was able to message her, she messaged my mom who met me at the hospital and Jake who finished up at work and FLEW to the hospital. Crazy day!

After lunch at 3pm they started cervadil and removed it at 3am the next morning! Started pitocin at 3am. It was a long, tough road but by 2pm I had had enough and NEEDED an epidural! I still had not dialated past a 2 by 7 and they decided it would be best to do a c-section I just wasnt dialating! It became a bit of an emergency when I spiked a fever and Lillian and my heart beats were way high. When they called it I FREAKED out. I tried to escape that bed even though I could not feel my legs. I was a mess!

They moment Lillian Elizabeth entered the world was the most amazing moment of my whole life. She was my daughter that I had fought so hard to keep safe and prayed non stop. She was here! I cried like a baby!

She is the most amazing thing and I am so blessed to be her mama!
