Kelsi Lynn Calderwood was born on Saturday December 8th, 2007 at 8:27pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 11.5 oz. and was 19 inches long. She had a full head of light brown hair and chubby cheeks! We came to the hospital Friday night and I was put on cytotec (spelling?) to help soften me up and when it was time for pitosin at 6am I didn't need it because my contractions kicked in on their own. The doctor broke my water and I started to progress well and got my epidural and I was set. I was doing pretty well until I got to an "8" that is when I started shaking uncontrollably and throwing up nonstop. I also heard a woman in the next room screaming which freaked me out and I got really nervous. I never opened my eyes during the delivery because I was so exhausted. John was great and I tried really hard not to be mean to him and I found myself apologizing to everyone once I said anything remotley rude (the nurse told me to push harder - and I snapped and told her that I in fact WAS pushing hard - she said that she was only trying to be encouraging and then I started apologizing profusely which made everyone laugh. We fell in love with her right away, but were sad when she couldn't stay with us very long because we both developed a fever during the delivery and we both needed antibiotics, so my little one had an IV hooked to her. She had it taken out yesterday night and we planned on going home today and then all of a sudden we were told that she had to stay ANOTHER night because she developed jaundice. With the absoloute NO sleep that I have had in the past 4 days and being all weird with hormones I lost it and have been not able to stop crying because I just want to take her home. However, we know that it could be really serious and are thankful that she will get better and we will be able to take her home soon. Thanks to all those well wishers and those who have called and stopped by.
