So here's the story...For those of you that are weak or cant handle baby stories then don't read because I am detailed! Also on the music player change to song to How Great is our God...It really sets the tone for this post.
Bryan and I decided to get a hotel room the night before my scheduled c-section (I was told that I could not go into labor because of my tumor surgery) since we had to be there by 5:45 a.m. He took me to dinner then we went to the hotel room to get some rest.
Bryan was rubbing my legs since I was swollen and at about 10:30 I noticed that something felt kinda different down there. I went to the bathroom and I passed my plug. Well I didn't think too much of it since some pl lose them weeks before they deliver. We went to bed and at almost exactly midnight I felt alot of pressure, stood up, and my water broke! Keep in mind I dozed off just minutes before that. I ran to the toilet and woke Bryan up. He too had just fallen asleep and I kept on telling him my water broke. He thought I was teasing. I reassured him that it was my water and he soon realized that it was all happening. To be honest we were in laughter the whole way to the hospital because we could not believe she decided to come just hours before our scheduled c-section. I started getting good contractions just minutes after my water broke so we knew that it was time!
We were admitted in the hospital at about 12:45 or so and I dilated from a 0 to a 2 within 1 hour. My contractions were 1-3 minutes apart and they were peaking to about a 6 or 7 every time. Needless to say if we were in FF there's a chance little miss Brylan may have been born in the car! God works in mysterious ways and in our situation it was best that we stayed in a a hotel that night!
At 2:42 she was born via c-section weighing 7lb 8oz. She reminds me so much of when Emory was a baby yet shes so different. It's really like having Emory all over again. Words cannot express how happy we are. We started with many failed attempts to get pregnant, finally did, then went through all of the tumor mess, surgery, etc, was told that they may have to take her, then was told about complications with the meds I took during my cancer treatment, and after all of that....SHES A MIRACLE...and shes here...in my arms! God gave me his gift and guided us through everything. She is truly an angel in life form!
Amongst all of the joy please keep her in your prayers. We are unsure as to how the medicine I had to take for treatment effected her. It crossed the placenta and there could be short term or long term effects, however the chances are VERY slim.
Thankfully right now she is perfect, everything is normal, and we are all so blessed. How could someone not have faith in God after seeing her and knowing what all we have been through these last few months?
Also I wanted to add how we named our lil baby girl. We loved the name Easton for a lil boy and just could not get over it. Day one she had no name, then on day two we realized we really needed to get moving on it. We did name her Easton Rayne for about 2 hours. Bryan decided he really loved Brylan (a feminine version of his name) and I really loved Haven (Halo+heaven combined) therefore we went with that!
Again thanks for everyone prayers. Guess what...they worked!
