Snow 2011

The weatherman did his usual...started talking a week early about the snow that was going to hit the south on Sunday. I blew it off and did my usual..."yeah right". I found myself at Kroger on Friday shopping for Wyatts birthday party. I also found everyone else that lived within 20 miles of Oxford stocking up for winter, since we would be stuck inside for weeks. I continued on with my list and found myself throwing stuff in my cart that others were grabbing.

We celebrated Wyatts birthday Saturday Jan 8th. The rest of the weekend, we waited and watched for snow. Sunday night, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was snowing like I have never seen! It was beautifully amazing...

LABOR...continued..

At this point, all you need to be reminded of from the night of labor is that it HURT!

Wyatt began to act up and hi heart rate dropped for a bit. At this point the nurse went into panic mode. She had me on my knees and hands in the bed and another nurse was starting my IV. It was very normal at that moment but looking back on it, it must have been

a sight to see! Very soon after this episode the Dr came in to check me out. He broke my water and said everything would work out. We were still planning on inducing in the am.

Right at shift change, I felt the "pressure". The new dr and day nurse came into assess the inducing situation when I mentioned the pressure Dr. C said, "inducing nothing, your about to push". Mom was only a few minutes away from the hospital. She made it just in time to help with the motivating, "PUSH"! Three pushes later....

One year ago....

On this very moment, one year ago, I was relaxing in a Brookstone massage chair! I am sure while I was sitting there with my very large belly anticipating the snow/ice predicted, longing for no bake cookies, I was also praying that one little boy would hurry up and make his grand entrance! and....

Blam! 1.5 hours later I was in my moms house eating a no bake cookie when it hit my like a stabbing knife! I think I pulled it together long enough to calmly tell my mom, "I think I am in labor. I am going to take a bath and then we might go to the hospital- no need to rush".
Fast forward 1 hour: "MOM, we need to go LIKE NOW".
Fast forward about 10 minutes: as mom drives BELOW the speed limit to Baptist Womens on I40...who drives the speed limit anyway? "MOM this is hurting and we need to get there NOW! "
**Zach is planning on going to our neighbors house in Oxford watching the National Championship football game**

Sign in to triage. Answer 40 questions that I ask people everyday when admitting, but this seemed like an eternity. The RN checks me and with a very cold heart says, "your 1 cm. we will call the dr and they will send you home". I demanded that she look at the toco monitor while I was having this significant pain to confirm I was having a contraction..."Yes ma'am you are but you are not progressing". At this point, I didn't care what happened but all I knew was she was NOT sending me home and I wanted to put my request in for the epidural, okay thanks! 15 minutes goes by and the not so friendly nurse returns with a more pronounce scowl on her face, "Dr. Sullivant is on call. He is admitting you.(haha to you and you non compassionate self) He said give you a percocet and ambien and he will induce in the am."

Somewhere in the middle of this chaos, Zach has been informed that he needs to come to Memphis because I was going to be having a baby at some point. He thought I was kidding until I informed him I was in the hospital and this was serious.s
