He is Here!

So things didn't go quite as planned(do they ever) Sunday November 30 Robin and I went to the hospital to do a non stress test, and I had had a headache that wouldn't go away all night. So when I got to the hospital they decided to start me. So Sunday was spent in labor. I was wimpy and got and epidural. That night the nurses would come in and check me every hour. They decided to put me on some oxygen because the baby wasn't doing exactly what they thought he should be.
The next morning The Dr. came in and broke my water and things were coming along nicely. I told Robin to run down and get hims something to eat before anything happens, then called my mom to give her an update of what was going on. while I was on the phone with my mom the nurse came in and told me I need to get my oxygen back on the baby wasn't doing as well as they wanted him ot be doing. Then for some reason she wanted to check me again. I had just been checked and the DR. had just put a monitor on the baby to better read the baby's heart. When she checked me the baby's cord was coming first. I can't remember what it is called. Things from then on happened so fast.
The nurse called for more nursed and told them to go and get the dr. then the next thing I Knew I was being wheeled down the hall for an emergency C section. I called Robin on my cell phone as we were leaving the room to tell him he needed to hurry back up and quickly let him know of the plans.
Things in the operating room were a blur. things were going so fast and things all kind of blurred together. Robin couldn't come in because they were going to put me totally under. I didn't get put all the way under,and robin waited in NICU for our little boy.
I really don't know how much time it took to get him out but it didn't seem like all that long. Soon I heard a baby crying and I got a quick glace of him as they lifted him over the curtain. I just kept praying that the baby was going to be alright and that Robin was going to be okay as well.
So.... Bennett Wayne Markham was born on December 1, three weeks early at 8:08 Am and weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and was 20 inches long. We were so happy he was doing so well. He lungs were developed and never needed help breathing
A few hours later I was in so much pain I couldn't even keep ice down. Things slowly got worse. The Dr. said that some peoples guts are just really sensitive and don't like being touched. My guts don't like it at all they were having a hard time starting up again. So in order for them to heal I needed to get a tube in my nose that went down into my stomach to suck everything out. To give my body some time to heal. All I could do was suck on some ice and swab my mouth with water so it wouldn't get to dry. Another thing they have you do to get better is walking and alot of it. Everyday I could go a little further. I set goals to make it to the nursery so I could hold Bennett. This was the best thing for me. Some days I only made it long enough to the nursery to kiss him and head back because I was in so much pain.
We got to come home yesterday! I am still healing and learning how to handle two kids, and not being able to move how your used to. Kenidee loves having her brother home so far. I can tell it will be a struggle, but she is going to be a great big sister.
I am so thankful for prayers and fasting of family members. I am thankful that I have a husband and a father who have the priesthood, and for a mother who puts her life on hold to take care of me and my daughter. There is no better feeling then knowing that your child is being taken care of. I never had to worry about Kenidee through this whole thing.
Sorry the pictures got all mixed up and I don't want to take the time to fix them. :)
