So last night was amazing. A lot of it I won't go into because it's something I want to keep special just for me. :) Mostly I just helped remind her to breathe, gave her ice, held the oxygen tubing out of her face, and kept giving moral support. But, Sarah was unbelievable. It's still unfathomable to me how a woman can go through all that and then put the baby in your arms and let you take her home forever! She was amazingly strong last night, I was just so proud of her.

She was at a 7 within 45 minutes of getting the pitocin and doing awesome. Then she stalled out and there were some problems with Avery's heartbeat and she was DYING of pain and tears were streaming bigtime. Long story short they finally talked her into an epidural (which she was totally against) in case they had to rush her in for a C-section. Two seconds after she got the epidural she was screaming that she could feel her and she needed to push (they had just barely checked her before the epidural and she was still a 7). They moved her BARELY so they could check her again and the baby just flew out onto the bed, no pushing no nothing. I about DIED! I didn't even have time to get weepy. I was just making sure that little teensy body didn't fall off the bed while the nurse ran to get everybody. The cord was wrapped pretty tightly around her neck twice but they got it off and she cried immediately and all is well! We stayed for about an hour and Robb came in to see her for the first time. It was just amazing.

We went back today so Sarah could see her kids and so the boys could see Avery. It was a madhouse! Trying to control those 4 kids under 7 was pretty funny. She's still doing well and looks even more adorable today...I mean seriously is she cute or what? They washed her hair all up and put a bow in and the whole bit. Anyway, she seems to be doing well so hopefully we are placed with her tomorrow when Sarah checks out and we can bring her home. Yea!!
