RMH::Our miracle baby.

So, I never get on here and I am sorry for that. BUT! I will update right now on what has been going on!

I began to have contraction August 12th around 10:30 p.m., but I wasn't quite sure what they were?! That next morning I was still hvaing them and my husband had already gone to work so I had to call him to come back b-c my aunt had come picked me up and was taking me to the hospital. I got checked in aroud 9:30 the morning of August 13th and was shortly back in Triage hooked up to monitors. Shortly after my hubby arrived the nurses started noticeing Reagan's heartrate dropping and she came into the room where I was and announced , "We are doing a c-section at 12:15." I was sort of in shock, but excited at the same time, because that meant I didn't really have to go through a lot painful laboring!! (Thank you Jesus!) I got prepped to go to the O.R. and the hubs got dressed up in his scrubs! They wheeled me to O.R. and past my family in the waiting area and I got to see who all was there before my surgery. (My mom had driven from Florida. my daddy was there, My dad's girlfriend...I think that was it at the time..I dont really remember!?) They took em to O.R. and immediately put in my spinal and layed me down Chad, my husband, sat next to me holding my hand the whole time! the put up the curtain and began the surgery. at 12:46 p.m. Reagan Makenzie entered into this world...

Immediately after she was born they held her up for Chad to see her and put her in the corner to try to work on her, something was wrongwith her, and I wasn't quite sure what was going on!? I just remember lying there, helpless and unable to move my lower half as the Doctors began to sew and staple up my incision. I remember looking in the back corner of the the small O.R. and seeing teh top of my little girls sweet precious head and a wholebunch of doctors working on her...eventually they wheeled her out of the O.R. and into the NICU to be hooked up to ventilators. I got a small glimpse at my baby girl as they wheeled her by me as I layed on the O.R. table being stitched up.

They took me to Recovery area and my OB came out to me and explained what had happened to Reagan. Apparently she underwent some sort of distress in the womb and made a bowel movement and swallowed it and it got down in her lungs. Which medically is called "Meconium Aspiration".
