Miss Ryan

So my little miss Ryan decided to come a little bit early!!! She just really wanted to be an August baby like her mama ;) My water broke Monday night around 9:00 pm and Mateo was out of town working (3 hours away) So me and my mom headed to the hospital while Mateo started the drive home....kinda frustrating for him as he had just left Monday morning...
I went into the hospital dilated to a 3 and after 9 hours of labor I was still only at a 3......frustrating.......plus her heartbeat kept dropping after each contraction and after everytime I moved positions....So the doctor said we should start talking about having a C-section. This was not something that I had ever even contemplated but I just felt like we needed to get her out asap to make sure she was safe!!! The dr. said I only had about a 1 in 10 chance of delivering the baby normally so as soon as he said that then we pretty much went straight to the operating table...
Now that was definitely something I never want to relive...My C-section was traumatic and very painful and I won't go into detail about THAT right here. But she arrived on Tuesday morning 8/31/10 at 7:24 am! Weighing in at 7 lb and 1 oz and 19.5 inches long! I guess my first question to Mateo was..."whose nose does she have?" lol - I don't remember saying that at all but its kinda funny as we were a bit paranoid about her nose due to our ultrasound pics...
She had to be in the NICU from Tuesday until Thursday :( due to respitory issues from me having the C-section...but she is doing great and we both got to come home yesterday afternoon :)
It's been a long week and I've got some recovery ahead of me but we are both doing better each and every day :)
I'll post pics soon.........
