Sesilie Renee Neus

Okay so I'm a little behind even for this post but I feel like I need to hurry and get this one done and then I can back track at my convenience. So here is the story of Sesilie's birth. My due date was February 6th. I had a doctor's appointment the next day on the 7th. At my appointment Dr. Tutt asked what I wanted to do; if I wanted to wait a few days and see, if he wanted me to have him set an induction date, etc. I told him I really didn't care, I just didn't want to have the baby the 12th-14th. He said, why don't I call down to the hospital and see what is available. When I came out of the room he asked how was 8pm that night. I was like sure. I wasn't expecting it to be so soon. I left and went home to get everything ready to have a baby.

Here I am that evening before we went in. That night I called in at 7pm to make sure I could come in. When I called they said that they just had a rush of people come in and that they'd call when there was a bed available. Well at about 11:45 that night they called and said to come on in for my induction. We got there at 12am and got admitted. I got into the room and got all hooked up to the pictocin and an antibiotic. I tried to get a little sleep but then around 3am I woke up because the contractions got too uncomfortable. For the next 30 minutes I tried to figure out if I needed an epidural or if I could wait. I finally decided I was done, and asked for an epidural. Around 4am I finally got it and let me tell you I love the relief of no contractions especially pictocin contractions, those stink. A little after 6am Dr. Tutt came in and broke my water. This time I called my mom and let her know so she wouldn't miss Sesilie coming like she did Matthew. Anyway, again I tried to get a little sleep. Around 7am I started feeling contractions on my left side and they were pretty strong and quite frequent. I also started feeling a lot of pressure, this I remember from when I had Matthew, so I had a feeling I was ready. Of course it was shift change so I had to wait about 10 minutes for the nurse to come in. Instead of telling her I was ready, I just said my epidural is wearing off on my left side. She asked if I had pushed the button, didn't realize I had a button, could have used that knowledge when I had Abby, oh well. Anyway, she said well let me check you first, I was complete. She told me not to push and started getting everything ready. Dr. Tutt had run home to shower real quick, he'd been on-call all night, and they said he'd be there in about 15 minutes. I was like seriously, because feeling the contractions on one side was quite painful, I know at least I had something. Finally, Dr. Tutt got there and I got ready to push, I started to push and my mom was like oh there's the head. So I kind of stopped pushing not remembering what I was supposed to do. Do I keep pushing, do I wait until the Dr. gets the shoulders out, so I kind of pushed a little more and she just slipped out, no episiotomy! (Just a small tear). That was the best delivery ever she came out on like a half push!

She was born at 7:28am weighing 5lbs. 14 oz. and 19 3/4 in. I know she is tiny. I was shocked when they said she was that small. She has been my smallest so far. I had to go buy premie clothes because everything I had was huge on her.
What a little cutie.
Mom and baby doing just fine.
Hello world!

Sawyer was so excited to have a new baby sister. She told my mom when she drove her to school that it was the best day ever. She had a new sister and she got to eat lunch in the classroom while watching a movie! Here she is later that day with her baby sister.Not the greatest picture but all I've got right now. Here are my girls!
