Welcome Ainsley Marie

AINSLEY MARIE One Day Old
Ainsley was born 8-18-08, Weighing in at 7lbs 5oz and 19 1/2 in long.



Mother went to the hospital about 3:30p and she was born about 5:00p. It was so quick that the Epidural didn't have time to take effect-resulting in a "Natural" birth. As my Doctor put it "You may have gotten poked but that was Natural." I've thought that I wanted to try going natural but my vote now is Epidural (Just in case). The birth was doable, the stitching was manageable but when I started having contractions the strenth of Labor contractions about an hour after her birth my thought was when is the pain going to end. Well a long story made short I had a post partum hemerage, clots had to be removed- as painful as labor, and an allergic reaction (airway closing) to the one of the drugs to stop the bleeding. Despite the eventful hospital stay I have been well and Ainsley is doing just great. I have been taking it easy thanks to my wonderful husband and mother.

Ian LOVES Ainsley. His first visit he would come give Ainsley a kiss then run off and play run back and give her another kiss and off to play again- hence the fuzzy Ian below.
He loves to hold her.

Congratulations Calli! She's so adorable. Sorry to hear about your unfortunate chain of events at the hospital. I got a spinal headache from my epidural when Braden was born, which put me on my back for a week; it was the worst thing I had ever been through. A living nightmare. The things us moms go through to have these children! Glad everything is okay now. Take care.
