Alittle Disappointment

I checked into the hospital this morning to being the induction, Dr. Hancock was going to be there around 8:00 to break my water and soon I should have been having a baby! Well, we had a change of plans..... when she came in to break my water she said it felt like Barrett's hands were above his head so she wanted to do an ultrasound. I immediatly start asking a million questions, all of my questions were answered when they wheeled in the ultrasound and said that sometime between last tuesday and today he had totally flipped himself around and he was now feet first. Instead of my "simple" delivery that Dr. Hancock and been promising me since 35 weeks I would be going in for a C-Section. I was ok, alittle worried just because no one really wants to be cut on but still I was ready to meet my little guy. After about half an hour passed the nurse came back in and said Dr. Hancock was not feeling well and she didn't want to be in the Operating Room while sick and take the chances of getting me or the baby sick. Since she was sick all the other Dr's were having to take on her clinic pt's so they would not be able to come over and do the C-section. I pretty much begged to just stay in the hospital over night but because of insurance I was sent home and told to return in the morning at 5:30 for a scheduled C-section at 7:30. So they removed the GIGANTIC IV that is probably more painful than labor itself "which my sweet nurse actually asked if she could leave in the port that way they only had to hook me back up in the morning, she was turned down by her boss". But really have you had that IV!?!?! Out of everything that happened with my labor with Aubrey the one thing that stuck out the most was the IV and now I get to have it twice with Barrett.... thanks buddy! So, we will start all over in the morning, sticking me, taking blood, listening to heart beats and then wheeling me to the OR. Barrett will have to be in the NICU for a few hours and I will stay in the hospital an extra day for healing time. I had plans to try and make it to the Moms of Mulitples sale this friday but now I am afraid my plans have changed since I will be checking out of the hospital. Which means, mom, andy's mom, and my sweet friends will have to go for me and fight the crazy woman at the consignment sale :) Hopefully I will be updating with some pictures of our little guy tomorrow sometime..... I can't make any promises because now I will be hooked up to a Morphine pump!!

Please pray that everything goes smoothly tomorrow and also pray for my sweet Aubrey, it will now be 5 days before she comes back home.....I want this to be a smooth transition for her and this just sordof changed all of our plans!

I am so sorry for all this inconvenience... boys just have a way of getting their own way!

And if there is anything specific you were going to be looking for at the sale let me know (or have your mom tell me) and I can look for you when I get to shop early!

I will be praying tomorrow!

Blessings!

Girl!! That ginormous iv IS the part that hurts the most, especially in the hand, but that's just my opinion. My boy was large and in charge during my delivery also. I will be praying for you tomorrow and over the next few weeks! I can't wait to meet him, I know he will be so handsome!

Oh, bless your heart Jenifer! As I posted on your Mom's website - there's a reason for everything & even though you were probably ready to scream (to put it gently ;-) when they told you you had to wait until tomorrow, I'm sure you will look back later on & say, "Ok, God, this is the reason why he wasn't born on the 23rd". Praying for you! Can't wait to see him! Love, Lara

Girl, I am SO sorry! Ugh! That is so frustrating. I would have been an emotional basket case if I was you!! I am happy that Barrett will be here tomorrow. Who knows?? He might flip by tomorrow! :) Post pictures soon!

I probably would have camped out outside the hospital. You know how much I love Dr. Hancock- she does great work! So if she felt she couldn't deliver him yesterday- then that was all for the best. I HATE HATE HATE the IV and as soon as both my boys were out I asked for it to be removed immediately- did I mention I HATE the IV.
