Okay so I installed Glow about three days ago and picked it up pretty quickly. I figured it would help me track my ovulation days. I've been literally tracking my periods since my first after I turned 14. I never stopped after that and it became a normal routine thing that I did. I always had a calendar on hand and now that I am a mother I keep track of other things like doctor and dentist appointments. Lol, I am pretty sure I'm not the only one. I had my only child when I was 24 and she turned 5 last November. And I am ready to have another baby. I am now 29 and I knew that I wanted another child which is why I wanted my tubes left the hell alone. Also, I have NEVER touched birth control or any other form of contraceptive. I had lost my virginity when I was 18 to the same man I am with now. We were ALWAYS careful and eventually when the time was right I would be ready for a baby. And Cadance came along. Now before that I did not take any kind of prescribed meds. In fact, I was not for taking anything if I could help it. I guess that is a story for another time. The father of my child (we will just call him B) and I were constantly fighting and living under his families roof was not a very good environment for me at all. I always knew that I was a very anxious child growing up. When I was pregnant with Cadance I had taken care of my father because he was diagnosed with cancer and needed extra care but he wanted to be close to his family and not somewhere far away. So I wanted to be there for him. Like he always was for me. I have to say it was stressful. Being pregnant and tending to a sick father was difficult. But I did it. I always told myself "the stronger I am the stronger baby will be" over and over. I went to one of my last checkups one morning and they noticed that there were some spots on the placenta, the stomach of the baby was abnormal and something about her head. I was terrified. I remember having some bleeding before I was three months pregnant with her and the docs in the er room said that the placenta just detached from the lining of the uterus and then reattached somewhere else. I thought maybe when that happened something went wrong. So yes, I was scared. They set me up an appointment to go see another obgyn out of town but I never made it there because I think a week or two later my water broke two months early. I will never forget that night. It felt like a water balloon bursted! It woke me out of my sleep lol! I immediately ran to the bathroom and I was like "this is definitely not piss" lol! So as calmly as I could I went to B and told him that my water broke. He was on the computer. He then said "are you sure you just didn't have to pee really bad?" I said "NO, it's not stopping! I can't turn it off!" He knew then that this shit was for real and he got up and we got out coats on. I just grabbed my purse and we were out the door within three minutes. I was still wearing the same pajamas I had "peed" on. Lol. We got to the hospital in about ten minutes. Usually it takes us twenty. They took me right in told me to take everything off. I was so nervous and excited all at the same time. They checked me out and asked me how far along was I. I told them seven months. The nurses looked at each other. They looked concerned. I asked them what is wrong. I asked them is my baby where she should be. They said the baby was breech and that I will not be delivering the baby there! I was a shocked because the last appointment I had with my obgyn besides the spots on the placenta and something about the stomach the baby was head down perfectly. I then said to them "I know my baby is going to be premature. But why can't I have my baby here?" They told me they did not have a NICU in the hospital and after the baby came she would probably have to stay in one for a bit. Okay. Jackson here we come. I was rushed there by ambulance because they were not sure of the baby's outcome or when she would decide to pop out. So I was there for almost three weeks. Cadance was delivered by C-section at 34 weeks. Somehow she had became breech again. As far as the spots on the placenta, those were leaks. And her tummy? Extra muscle on the lining of her stomach. Nothing to be concerned about. Born on November 5, 2011 at 11:45 a.m. weighing 4lbs 3/4ounces and 17 and 3/4 inches long. She came out yawning and smiling. No crying. She stayed in the NICU for about two weeks before we could take her home. And that is the story of Cadance Amora Henson ❤❤❤
