Little Miss Olivia Skye was welcomed into this world on December 15, 2008 at 1:53 p.m weighing 7 lb. 13 oz. and 21 in. long.
Her Mommy's Birth Story:
I went into the hospital at 6:30 p.m. on December 14, 2008 to start the induction process where they gave me medicine to start softening my cervix. They started with half a pill, and with the second half of the pill is when my contractions really began. That was at 2:00 a.m. I started progressing after that, and tried to sleep in between contractions. When I was around 3-4 centimeters, I didn't think I was going to make it. I asked my nurse for the pain medication I knew I had been approved to get. It was called Nubane. That was the best stuff ever. LOL After taking that, I didn't have a care in the world. I still felt the contractions, but was able to really sleep in between. Before I knew it, I was getting my epidural! I looked at them puzzled. I assumed my husband went and told them I wanted the epidural. They said he didn't tell them and that my nurse was watching her screen and knew that I was ready to get it. LOL While getting the epidural, I was having like 3 contractions, but I remember saying to the nurse, "Man, I sure do like this drug!" hahaa. I have never been high in my life, but I swear I was on Nubane. It made me very relaxed. After the epidural, I didn't feel a thing. That's some good stuff right there. :) My wonderful nurse and midwife told me when to push. They told me I might feel pressure or slight pain, but I seriously didn't feel anything. I started to push Olivia out at 1:30 p.m. and she was born at 1:53 p.m. She was posterior, so there was some tearing involved there. I had to get stitched up while they gave Olivia a bath. My husband was over there, just snapping away. He told me he was trying to capture everything on camera. He was a trooper by the way. He really helped me focus and we did our breathing.. :) I'm sure our childbirth instructor would have been proud. haha. By the way, I delivered in the Women's Center at Piedmont Medical Center. I had a very positive experience there. I had my own nurse the entire night of being induced. I really felt like I was their only patient. :) They were awesome!
I will never forget the moment I met our daughter. I will never forget those little eyes just looking at me. I am her mommy. My heart just melted away.........
