The Delivery Story: It was on the NEWS!

When we met the birthmom on Tuesday, she told us about the delivery. My little girl sure made an entrance.

Monday morning around 5:20 am, the birthmom woke up because she was having some labor pains. She had some friends at her house. She didn't want to stay alone anymore in case she went into labor. She has a son at home to take care of also so she needed some help. Glad they were there.

She started timing her contractions and they were only 6 minutes apart. So she thought she had some time. Everyone woke up and they started to try to find a ride to the hospital. There was no one to take her. A little time went by and at 6:02 her water broke. A huge gush. She has never had her water break like that. Within seconds, she started yelling to her friends to call 911. The baby was coming.

She quickly realized the head was coming. Her friends and her started to freak out. I would!! The baby was wasting no time to make an entrance into the world. The dispatcher on the phone had to walk them through delivery the baby!! Yes - her friend delivered the baby. At home. In her bed. Withing minutes she laid down and the baby came out. No pushing involved. She made her entrance at 6:24.

They were told to get towels. And grab a shoestring from a shoe nearby. The umbilical cord needed to be tied off and a shoestring was used. They wrapped the baby in towels and the birthmom and waited till the ambulance got there.

News crews were heading to her house. It aired the next day. We were actually in the hospital with the birthmom when she found out that it was on the news. We actually watched it with her. We were all laughing and saying how crazy the whole thing was. You can watch it if you would like through the links below:

When my girl decided she wanted to make her way into this world, she wasted no time. What a memory. And we are Praising God that all our healthy. It is a miracle. 

Normally when a baby is born, the first thing that happens is they suck out the nose and mouth. Well since Kamryn was born at home, there was no way to do that. Therefore, she aspirated her fecal matter. I don't remember the technical term. But that is why she is in the NICU. She needs a full 7 days of antibiotics to make sure no infection happens. She is doing great!! Eating like a champ. For being so small, she can polish off the bottle. Tomorrow night will be her last round of antibiotics so hopefully she will be able to go home on Monday after the doctor sees her. 

This kid has such personality already!!!
