This one's for you Lindsey King.....
So it's been over almost a year since I posted last and I can't believe I've fallen this far behind in posting. So much has happened since the last time I posted. One January 14th, 2010 I found out that I was expecting another baby. While I was over the moon excited, I was also scared to death of this situation. As many of you remember I delivered Landon at 28wks and he fought for 3mons to live. Well here we go on our second pregnancy, hoping and praying that we did not go down that road again. Well everything was smooth sailing til 19wks when everything went crashing down. My cervix was already shortening and we were close to losing our baby girl! That following Monday I had a cerclage put in and was on bedrest from then til Teegan Nicole was born. From May to September I stayed at home and traveled back and forth to Maternal Fetal Group every week to make sure my cervix was still holding up. In the meantime, almost every other week I was put in the hospital for contractions and placed on many different types of medications to keep these contractions under control and to keep Teegan cooking. After many many month on bedrest at 37 weeks they finally decided to remove my cerclage and to let Teegan come when she was ready now. I think that week I moved furniture, walked the neighborhood and even mixed up a concontion of castor oil and orange juice to drink. I however was unable to drink the castor oil because it just looked way nasty. September 2nd at 12:00am the contractions started. I tried very hard to get some rest and hope they pass since I did not want to have to wake Landon up. Around 4am I decided that this is the real deal and it was time to call my mom to let her know Teegan was ready to make her entrance into the world. Once we got to the hospital I found out I was dilated to a 3 and completely effaced. By the time I got to hospital I was crying for an epidural. As soon as I got that I was at a 10 and ready to push. Dr. Wynn broke my water at 10:52am. and Teegan was here at 11:00am. She weighed 6lbs 10oz and 19in long. She has a head full of hair and absolutely perfect. And the best part about it, is she was full term and she got to come home with me! Teegan is now 3month old and she a beautiful little girl!
