Kate--I love the trailer. That looks awesome.
YAY!!!! I am a grandmother now. My DIL went into labor on her own. My son called me about 8:00 am yesterday and said that she was about 4cm dialated and the dr was going to check on her again at noon. I got there around 9:30am and she had been in horrible pain throughout the night. By the time I got there they had put the epidural in and was feeling better but very uncomfortable. After a couple of hours she started to run a fever and the baby's heart rate went way up. They started her on antibiotics and said a c-section may have to be done as she also had not dialated any further. They ended up doing the c-section and as soon as they got him out her temp spiked to over 104 degrees. They knocked her out and not sure what all they did but it did get her temp down.
The little guy weighed in at 7 lbs. 6 oz and 20 inches long. He was born at 12:40pm. He is such a cutie with a shimmer of dark brown hair and pretty blue eyes. My son's eyes are blue. Not many people have their baby on their actual due date so that was kind of funny. Mommy and baby are both doing well. I was over their again this evening and Megan looks so much better than last night. She was able to get a shower today so that helped a great deal and her coloring is back to normal. My son is just beaming with pride.
With both of my kids I developed a fever during labor. With my daughter her heart rate also shot up and a c-section was considered. My dr said he'd give it a bit and monitor me to see if it came down and within an hour her heart rate did come back down within the normal range. So in the end I didn't have to have one. I was not near as miserable as Megan though. She was glad to just have it done and end her pain.
As far as what I finally settled on to be called was Nonny. I had mentioned I wasn't sure about Nona since I didn't really like all my extended family calling me that when I was younger so this was just a bit different. I also finally made my hubby choose something as he never would say. I talked him into going with Poppy. That way we can be Nonny and Poppy. I don't feel old so I didn't want to be called something that might make me feel that way. I like to think of age as just a number. It's all about how live your life. I proudly went in there today with my sparkly teal Undercurrent e/l or as Erine said mermaid in a stick and feeling fun and happy.
