The past 24 hours has really showed me a lot of things from love to support to how strong I really am! I managed to go through labor up to 9cm with nothing other than 2 dosages of pain medication.. Once those 9cm labor pains started kicking in, epidural was a MUST! I cried & cried for 3 hours straight dealing with 8/9cm labor pains! Thanks to everyone that dealt with my horrible attitude in the process ☺️ After getting epidural, I was told little Ava wasn't reacting to the contractions like she was suppose to.. Instead her heartbeat was dropping! That lead to c-section & boy, was I upset! "After all those pains you mean to tell me you're just going to cut me anyways?" was racing through my mind along with "now I'm out of work for 6+ weeks.." 😩 I cried & cried some more! Well, little Ava finally arrived after about 30 minutes of surgery, but I was so drugged up.. I couldn't really even remember seeing her.. All I remember was she wasn't breathing right & I was tripping out. Due to her not breathing right, she's been in the nursery since she arrived. Me going through c-section lead to an even longer wait on seeing her. I just got back in from being able to make my way down to the nursery.. & only God knows how I made it up & outta this bed! Lol. It was sad seeing my little sweetheart all hooked up, but it was also a very breathtaking moment! She's going to be in the nursery for a few days as they try to take the oxygen off. They are going to try & feed her around 7am, so I'm hoping that goes well! So.. If you would.. Please keep my poor baby in your thoughts & prayers. I would highly appreciate that. ☺️
