Part 2

After six hours of active labor..and an hour and a half of pushing.. my beautiful baby boy was born. It was just me and mom (with the doctor and nurses) to welcome him at 6:01 am. He weighed 7lbs 1.5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. He let out the loudest wail after Mom cut the cord.. and as the nurse carried him over to the warmer.. he peed on her. LOL! I should have known then that he was gonna be a handful! Mom went out in the waiting room to call my Dad.. and he was already at the hospital waiting. She called him at 4am right before I started to push to give him an update..and he couldn't go back to sleep. So he sat there for 2 hours waiting for me. It was the most amazing moment of my life.

A Little Bit of Everything

Well, I am back! I finally decided to bite the bullet and start blogging again. Last night I spent an hour or so deciding on a new layout and figuring out how to personalize my header... What do you think?

So.. my life since November...

• My *coughcough31stcoughcough* birthday came and went.. I spent it with family and friends, we had a great time!
• We spent Christmas in Georgia with my sister and her family. The kids were spoiled..of course.. I will post pics in the next post.
• I believe I slept thru NYE.
• January was a great month! Mom and I headed to Nashville on January 19th for my pre-op appt with Dr. E, my Vanderbilt EP. The next morning, super bright and early.. I checked in at the Children's Hospital.. YES, the children's hospital.. Laugh all you want.. it is funny. haha Dr. E said my case was "challenging" and he wanted Dr. F to assist plus they had better mapping equipment. The procedure lasted almost SIX hours!! Appears I was just as difficult under general anethesia as I am awake. lol The SVT wasn't starting in the area they previously thought.... They had to ablate around 50 different spots! They went thru both legs and my neck. I woke up in horrid pain...was dosed and passed back out.. this happened for a few hours. I had to keep my legs completely still and lay flat for 6 hours! Luckily over half of that I was drugged. But the last few hours were hell. Then I woke up around 2am.. crying in pain. Once the nurse came in she realized that I had started bleeding internally on my left groin area and developed a rather large...okay huge.. hematoma. Better to bleed in than out I guess.. not as messy. Blah blah blah.. I wasn't allowed to get up and walk until they day I was released..>Friday. Walking was an ordeal.. onlookers thought it was a bit funny. I had that just pushed out a 20lb baby...but didn't ya know I didnt. Anyway....long story a bit shorter.. after much monitoring I was SVT free! I stayed SVT free until about 2 weeks ago.. Not great news..but it could be worse. I have had maybe 5 episodes since then..but not a one compared to pre ablation episodes. My followup in Nashville is Mid April.
• I am back at work! Yay!! After being out on leave for basically 8 months.. I was more than ready to go back! I missed my friends!! (love you guys!)
• Oh, pre surgery I had my hair done.. Elisha is the most awesome talented stylist ever!! (Enve Salon..) Pics on next post!
• Most that know me...know about the house fire in October.. They have finally started on the house...and man do they work fast!! They almost have the whole house gutted already!! Its amazing to see! At the rate they are going, we will probably be back in the house before August!
• Speaking of August.. my little monster starts school in the fall. I have been back and forth about where to send him...public or private. My cousin sends her boys to Freedom Christian Academy.. so Mom, Dalton, and I met with the principal on Wednesday and took a tour. That place is great! I really feel in my heart that is the place for Dalton. So I am filling out the application and praying that they will have a spot for Dalton in the fall!

Okay..update wise I think that is the scoop!

So.. I think that is it for now..update wise....

My Baby

I'm feeling a bit emotional..My boy is going to be 4 on November 4th. I can't believe it. Seriously, it seems like yesterday that I was waddling around begging God to please let this child be born already. lol Now, he's getting so big..and his favorite saying..

"Kindergarten here I come!"

*sobbing* Not yet.. but soon.. I do think he's right though, the elem. school will need a warning. Its only fair. lol
