We made it ladies!!!! Induction was set for 1/26 but I ended up in the hospital at 4am on the 23rd due to kidney problems. I've had kidney problems for the last few mos and had already spent time in the hospital once for it. After they did an ultrasound and discovered my kidney was backed up with urine, most likely due to baby pressing on it....they decided to induce on the 24th
I plan on writing my birth story very soon so I'm going to keep this short-gotta get back to baby Long story short...16 hrs of labor, 2 failed epidurals...my labor and delivery ended up unmedicated but not by choice (had planned on going natural but couldnt take labor and kidney issues) it was time...long labor but when I had to push, I pushed her out so fast the delivery stuff wasnt set up, Dr only had time to get one glove on and baby pretty much shot out and landed on the end of the bed. lol. After they handed her to me I felt like she was def heavy but she didn't look huge. They weighed her and were commenting on how big she was. I coudn't believe it (my other 2 kids were 7lbs9oz & 7lbs4oz)...she was 8lbs & 15oz! I thought for sure I tore because she was so big and I pushed her out really quick. But no tearing, no episiotomy and no stitches Score! Shes amazing and nurses like a pro! I was hoping she would look very Asian and like her daddy. Well.....she looks totally Chinese and shes a mini me of her dad. I'm sure she will look more mixed as she gets older. Hope you are all doing well!!!! Oh yeah..she was born on the 25th, a day before her daddy's birthday. She was too big to wear the Bruce Lee outfit I made her home
