Where to begin? Let's start from the beginning. March 17th, St. Patricks Day at about 10pm. My water broke, so Brian drove me to St. Vincents Womens Hospital where they admitted me. I did have a birth plan at first, but let's just say, it didn't go as planned. After going through 2 hours of painful contractions, I gave in and took the epidural. A couple more hours went by and finally, it was time for me to push. Pushing lasted for about two hours and well the doctor was concerned the that baby may be too big and suggested that I have a c-section. At 2:49pm, on March 18th, Isabella Rose McInerny was born! I will never forget the look on Brian's face and the tears that we shed on the most special day of our lives.
Isabella Rose McInerny
Born: March 18th, at 2:49pm
Weight: 6 lbs 14 oz
Length: 19 1/2
So I thought the delivery was going to be the hardest part. It wasn't. Isabella Rose was born jaundice and they had to do some light treatments, that I could bare to watch her go through, plus all the poking and probing on her tiny little feet because they had to check her blood sugar levels. They had to keep taking her away from me every time I finished feeding her and it just seemed like it would never end.
Finally, March 22nd, the day we could take our bundle of joy home!
It's been two weeks and two days, and I have to admit, it's been hard! Lack of sleep, hearing her cry and not knowing what she wants, feeding her which feels like almost every hour. I don't think I have cried so much. We are getting through it though!
