Delivery Details...

Little Kennedi Addison Yergensen
Andrew and I before baby was born. I still have my pregnant fat face.

Megan and I before Kennedi arrives.

I want to post some delivery details for remembering in the future while they are fresh on my mind...

The morning of April 11, I woke up with Kamri around 7:30 and had contractions about 20 minutes apart...Andy had to work the night before so he was downstairs sleeping and I didn't want to wake him until they started getting closer. So around 9 I went and woke him up and told him they were ten minutes apart. He said if they get closer to come wake him again. About 9:30 Kamri missed her Daddy and woke him up for me...not because I asked her to but because she missed him. So he got up. Finally around 11 my contractions were about 6-7 minutes apart so I told Andrew that we should go just in case. Kamri was born within 15 minutes of arriving at the hospital and I didn't want to take that chance again. (We did wait too long to go to the hospital) So we arrived and got the last room in the OB. I got all hooked up to the machines and come to find out I was only dilated to a 4, but my contractions were painful and consistent so they kept me. I got my epidural around 2 and I was dilated to a 7, they broke my water at 2:30 and the little one came at 3:50 in the afternoon.

Now for the gory details...I thought my epidural was working until I started to push and I could feel almost everything. Three pushes and she was here...but the bad thing was when they were trying to get the placenta out...well the umbilical cord came out but the placenta didn't. So he tried to get it without having to go inside...he used prongs and other things but finally he just put his hand inside and eventually pulled it out...this part of the labor was way more painful than actually delivering. (Yes I felt like a turkey!)

My sister, Megan, came to watch because she was curious as to how things worked. She doesn't have any kids yet. She said that it was the coolest thing she has ever seen. She said she just wanted to cry when she saw the head coming out. The only time she got nauseous was when the doctor started to stitch me up...she said the needle was a big hook and it was huge! It was a pretty cool experience to have her there.

Another thing that happened...my doctor who is Dr. Tayler was suppose to be out of town that weekend and so we thought...so Dr. Graham was the one on call and he was the one who actually delivered Kennedi. Come to find out that my Dr. hadn't gone on vacation after all and had never told the nurses he was going...they just took our word for it. Anyways it all turned out just fine. Dr. Tayler wasn't too happy with the nurses because he actually stayed in town because he had two of us who might go into labor.

All in all we are healthy and happy hanging out at home! Kennedi was a little backwards at first when it came to the sleeping at night but now she just wakes up to eat. We are happy she has arrived and can't wait to see what the future holds!
