Sicaly Ruby Miller










She is here!!! She is beatiful, a great sleeper and great eater, her sisters just love her, they can't keep their hands off her and always want to her to wake up.
Here's the Story:
I was induced on Monday, I was number 7 on the priority list so I was a little worried if I would even be called in, but they called at 11:00am saying to come in, Zak and I headed there to the hospital. It was crazy when we got to the hospital, an emergency C-section was called for some one, and then another one, so it was about 1:00 before I was hooked up and ready to go. An hour goes by and they check me, I'm a 3+ and 80% effaced so not much going on. The same when they check me at 3:00, they ask me if I want an Epidural that way they can up the pitosin, so I decide to go ahead and do that. After the Epidural they up the pitosin, Sicaly's heart rate drops into the 80's and 90's, they take me off pitosin, give me oxygen, and make me lay on my left side, after a few minutes her heart rate goes back to normal- thank goodness, because during this time we hear another emergency c- section called in, and we are hoping that doesn't happen to us (there was 7 c-sections on monday and a total of 19 births). After a half hour the nurse puts me back on pit, so that is about 4:15. The nurse comes and checks on me an hour later and ask how I'm feeling, I tell her I can feel pain and some pressure, she thinks that is weird since I had an epidural, she checks me and was very suprised to find I was complete- and this baby was coming. She calls the doctor and gets everything prepared. Dr. McCulloch comes and I do 5 rounds of pushing and out she came at 5:42pm, just a screaming, crying, tons of dark hair, and very, very pink. She weighed in at 7lbs. 4 oz. and was 19 1/2 inches long. Zak and I thought we were in for a long haul with the way things were going from the first but had a very pleasant surprise! Recovery has been a little harder, but I've heard with each pregnancy that is what to expect.
The girls came to the hospital twice with my mom(a huge thanks to my mom for coming and taking care of the girls and us- I so appreciate it!) the girls kept asking if we were going to take Sicaly home and if she was our baby. We are home now and things are going great!
I better tell Zak how awesome he was at the hospital, he changed about 7 yucky diapers(I didn't change 1), and helped take very good care of me and Sicaly.
