Our little miracle

I have had SO many questions asked about our little miracle baby... that I decided I needed to get back on the "Blogwagon" and start a new blog (so I will actually blog now (I hope)).... So as most of you know we added a new addition to our family... Miss Tillie Jane






Here is Tillie's story: In December of 2012 I noticed my stomach was getting harder and my clothes a little snug.. but just thought oh its my thyroid.. as the month progressed it got worse. So when January hit, I decided I needed to have a new weight lose routine and enlisted my family. We came up with a "biggest loser" type challenge for those who wanted to participate. I was and am so excited about this challenge... But  I noticed my stomach was getting harder, much harder... So I went to the Dr. to get my blood drawn to check my thyroid... little did I expect what came next... they called me Wednesday night and said " We need to see you tomorrow, you are pregnant." I called Chris and told him, and instructed him that he was going to the Dr. with me. We arrived at Dr. Layne Smiths office (who i absolutely adore) and he said Shianne you are pregnant we need an ultrasound.... So we went to get just the little ultrasound he put the radar thing on me and said "OK you are REALLY pregnant I need the bigger ultrasound." I was bawling this whole time, not knowing I was pregnant then finding out killed me.. I was worried, I had, had a regular period, felt no movement, didn't swell up or feel crappy, I continued to take my regular medication such as birth control etc...  So we moved rooms and they decided I was 38 weeks pregnant and due Feb. 16... the day of the ultrasound was Thursday January 31. I was dilated to a 2 and 60% effaced  I was a complete emotional wreck, knowing I would have to go through labor and all again, but excited for a new life, how can you not be?! Chris was calling everyone while  I continued to be tested for diabetes, strep b, pre eclamsia anything we could test for at this point. I was too far along for the ultrasound to show much, it did show it was a she, and her heart looked good. At that point I went immediately down to Labor and Delivery and did a NST (non stress test) My Dr. was concerned and said he would take me if needs be, ( I told him if he made me stay he would be chasing me down the street haha) I wasn't ready .. I just wanted to be home with Maddex and Addie... well after about an hour and a half they let me go, He was really concerned about my fluid level i was at a 5 and normal is between 10-30. So he instructed me to come back in on Sunday for another NST. We left, we called our families, told them the exciting news... Everyone was really supportive. I was still in shock, Chris was so excited. I went to work the next day and told my co workers and my boss. They were shocked too :) Saturday came.. and I was in go go go mode. We got out Addie's little clothes, the bassinet everything baby... cleaned the house did the laundry and ran a few errands to get some baby things. Superbowl Sunday came we went and did our NST we passed again. I was instructed to come in on Monday the 4th. I went to work on Monday and left at 10:30 to get the hospital in time. I was checked in did my NST and did not pass this one... she wasnt moving so the nurse called the high risk dr and they told me I needed to be induced. INDUCED! I was so not ready.. Chris wasnt there.. I wanted to be with my babies at home.. I wasn't ready for my world to be rocked yet. I called Chris bawling and he quickly came to the hospital.. He gave me a blessing and I felt at peace. We called our moms to tell them the exciting news I called my little sis in AZ to tell her and she immediately caught the next flight home.. I needed her there.. she is my sanity and best friend.  They started my pit at 3:30 or 4 and broke my water immediately after. Contractions started and I was a complete whimp.. I was dilated to a 3 or 4 and got the epidural as soon as I could. I was a complete jerk to Chris, just like the movies, I told him I wanted to snap his neck in half and that I wouldn't even care. He kept eating in front of this starving pregnant girl.. and that just irritated me worse.. my mother in law was laughing because she hadn't seen my like that before.. but luckily my meanness went away after I got the epidural.. the babies heart rate dropped to below 50 (its supposed to be at  150) so they immediately gave me oxygen and juice to see if we could get it back up. We did and then my Dr. came to visit.. he said " I am not going home tonight,.... I am waiting here with you until you have this baby" Oh how I love my OB.. haha.. he seriously cares so much.. infact he told me he was sad I just found out cause we always have so much fun during my pregnancies.. now the right there is a keeper :) I felt bad.. it was family night and his wife was waiting to watch the bachelor ( I think he was relieved he didn't have to watch it ) So I told him I wanted this baby out before the bachelor at 7 pm.. I wanted to see who went home.. anyways back to the story.. the babies heart rate dropped again and this time we couldn't get it back up. The Dr. came rushing in and said "Shianne you aren't fully dialated or effaced ( i was a 9 and still 70%) he said you have one chance to get this cervix past the baby and get this baby out." The nurse came in the room with the c section stuff all ready to go. The respiratory team was there for the baby, boy was this room full... Sierra my little sis even got there in time :).. I pushed for 6 minutes and my little miracle baby was born :) and I got to see who went home from the bachelor too :)  haha... I will give more of the story and pictures tomorrow night ::)
