Well it's about time I post about our wonderful addition to our family. Juliette Marie Millet was born July 18 weighing in at 7lb 15oz and 22 1/2in long. No wonder why she was always in my ribs.
I'm very lucky and blessed to have such great pregnancy's. The first trimester I pretty much survived on potatoes and milk. That was all I could really tolerate without getting nauseous. The only problem I had in the second trimester was I was always stuffy and that lasted right up until the end. Third trimester Juliette was very comfortable in my ribs and of course I just got more and more uncomfortable.
If you don't want to read about my labor and delivery skip over this part. There wasn't a ton of progress by the time I was at the 40 week mark just enough to make me feel comfortable enough to get induced. We went to the hospital at about 3 and got things going. The nurse told me at about 4:30 that someone was going to come in and break my water. We waited and waited. Finally I called the nurse in because I thought they had forgotten about me, she told us that there was an emergency c-section and then 2 more c-sections before they would be in. At about 7:30 the anesthesiologist came in and gave me my epidural and shortly after that the Doctor came in and broke my water, I dilated pretty quickly after that and I pushed through 3 or 4 contractions(about 10 min) and our sweet little girl was here.
I had the best nurses! My good friend that I met in AZ who lives here was my nurse. It was a little weird having my friend do all the dirty work but at the same time it was great, we sat and chatted and laughed throughout my whole labor and delivery. I really mean through the whole thing, between pushing we were all laughing. It really was a fun experience. How many people can honestly say that about their labor and delivery.
Denton likes to help when she's crying. He gets upset if he's not the one who gives her her binky. He did want to move her but now he just wants to hold on to a corner of the blanket when I'm moving her some where. He's been really sweet with her, if she's upset and I'm busy he brings her his favorite blanket to try and comfort her. He isn't interested in holding her at all though, he has only held her once for 30 seconds maybe. I guess holding babies is just not his thing.
So far she has been a great baby. Her and Denton have been taking naps at the same time every day so that means I get a nap too. She will have a 5-6 hour sleeping stretch in the night too which is wonderful.
So far we are all adjusting well.
