SaDae Tatye Swapp

She has ARRIVED!! SaDae was born Monday June 21, 2010 @ 3:55 pm. She was 6lbs 7oz and 18 in long. As most of you know Grandma Brink passed away on Wed June 16th, and I really didn't want to miss the funeral or go into labor during so I was really hoping that I could have the baby soon so I could attend. So Saturday night I went to StG to play and have fun and not sit at home waiting on the way home I started having contractions and thought oh yes this might just be it.. 6 hrs later NOTHING. So I went to bed got up for church and nothing so I went to church and was just so sad I was still pregnant. Sunday night, I thought I gotta do all I can my days are running out to have her and recoupe before the funeral so .. you know.. and about 4 am I starting having some contractions but I wasn't getting my hopes up since the night before I had them for 6 hours and then nothing. They started to get stronger so I kinda got excited I told Brett before he left for work that just maybe I would have this lil girl today. As Im cleaning, going for walks, playing with Degan I got a phone call from my Dr.s office and I thought they were just reminding me of my app the next day, but no.. she was calling to say my that at my last ultrasound the baby's head hadn't grown as much as they were hoping and wanted me to go see a specialist in StG today. I told the nurse that I was having contractions did she really want me to go? She she talked to the Dr and she said nope just come into the office right away so she could check me and see if I was in labor they would just keep it going. So I hang up the phone and start freaking out cause I had planned on having a lil time to make arrangements for Degan and talk to my mom and so I just bawl.. call Brett fill him in tell him to come home. Find a place for Deg to go, then I decided I'd take Deg to Brett and go to the drs to see what was going to happen. I get there they take me right back she checks me says Im a 3 and then proceeds to strip me and says I think we are going to have a baby. She then calls the specialist and asks him what he thinks about the babies head and he says just get her delivered and IF anything is wrong we can deal with it better. Im just crying and Laurie says there could be nothing wrong we just have to be cautious. So she says go down to Labor and Delivery. I get down there and the nurse says we have no rooms right now so your gunna have to wait and if we have to we can put you in a room but we'd rather not. So I got a hot pack on my boobs and just started walking the halls. Luckily my friend Bobbie had her baby that morning so I went and visited her and wasn't SO bored. I waited about an hour n a half for a delivery room by this time my contractions were about 2 min apart and getting VERY intense I was getting nervous I was not gunna get my epidural. I got in my room at about 2:15 pm, hurried and changed into a gown, the nurses wanted to start my IV and get everything goin she checks me and im at a 5, 90% effaced. Luckily since they had been so busy the anesthesiologist was already around so he came in and started my epidural at 2:35 . Laurie comes in to check me and break my water and I was a 7. I started to feel relief and then this weird slight pain I thought probably just a contraction but i asked the nurse she checks me again and I was a 10. She goes to get Laurie and comes back to say, bad news she is delivering another baby. But since I wasn't feeling much it wasn't too big of a deal. My mother was on her way up but hadn't gotten to the hospital yet, it was just Brett and I. Laurie comes in and says lets have a baby she was so excited and couldn't believe how fast things had gone. They called respiratory in JUST IN CASE our lil girl needed some help. I pushed once, Laurie massaged for a second I pushed again and out she came. The nurses were amazed at how easy this delivery went, with how crazy the hospital had been that day. All in all I think they delivered 10 babies that day. So out she came and cried looked normal and NOTHING was wrong with her all that worry for no reason. She was born at 3:55 amd then my mom arrived, she has just barely missed it. I was so blessed to have a good pregnancy and a fast delivery. Our family is now 4 and we are adjusting be loving it. Degan is the best BIG brother and he loves his sister.
