Jake Gordon Babcock 8lbs 20.5 in. 9/14/09 11:50pm

So Jake has arrived. Last Monday, the 14th, I was feeling sick with a headache and cough and nastiness. So I went into my OBGYN and I saw the PA who was going to put me on some antibiotics and send me home but I complained that my back was hurting so he called in the Dr. to pop my back and when the Dr. came in he couldn't get it to pop and I was so uncomfortable. That is when he asked if I was having contractions and I said "uh...I dunno know" so he sent me to the hospital for a Labor check. When we got there they hooked me up to the machines and found that Jake's heart rate was not looking good. It was way too high and didn't fluctuate enough so they immediately put me on antibiotics and fluid to try to make him better and after a few hours it worked but I was still having irregular contractions and my previous incision was hurting so they decided to give me a c-section to prevent a possible rupture. That is how our day went and how we got our little Jake. Amazingly enough I only was in the hospital for 3 days and I am doing better than I thought I would. I'll put some pictures up later but Blogger won't let me do it right now.
