May 3,2011 Our second son arrived into this world very unexpectedly. I woke up at 7am. Very bad cramping nothing stopped it. I took a shower ate and drank a lot of water. Nothing even eased it. I was 35 weeks pregnant. We know something just wasn't correct.. I went to the hospital. I sat there from about 3pm to about 7.30 pm.. They told me that my uterus was to far up to even check and that I was not having real contractions. So I was sent home with no reason to the pains. At 8pm my "fake" pains became absolutely unbearable. I was crying and shaking threw every pain. And than my water broke. I knew it was that but considering I was just sent home from the hospital my family easily convinced me that I simply was in to much pain to control my bladder that I just peed my pants.. So I changed my close. and sat on my chair and got threw the pains one at a time. About 8.15 I decided I couldn't deal with the pains anymore and was going to return to the hospital. As everyone was getting ready to walk out the door.. I ran to the bathroom to get sick [which I never did actually throw up I just got VERY hot] At 8.21 I was on my hands and knees the paramedics were called and I could see both of them but they could not get the stretcher to me. So they were walking towards me to walk me over to the stretcher.. Well I sat up on my knees and all of a sudden I bent over very fast to reach for my son. I pulled him out, removed his sack and rubbed his back to stimulate his lungs to breath. All of a sudden he let out a huge cry. Daddy and the paramedics that were all in the door way were in shock and awe at what they just witnessed. Me all calm delivering my own child. Inside I was a wreck complete panic stricken but I had to stay calm and focus because I was the only one that knew what I was doing. I also had to keep my father & the baby's father calm.. So we returned to the same hospital that sent me home. Not by choice but that's where the ambulance took us.
After we got there one of the nurses responded "that's one way to do it". We got two full birthing rooms. One for me & one for Bentley. He was considered a "dirty baby" only because he was born at home. He was not allowed in the nursery with other babies and if he was he was in a incubator. I was than transferred to a new room that we only stayed in for two days which I took full care of Bentley. He had not one issue with functioning in this world. So we were allowed to go home.
Day 3 of his life we had a doctors appointment. His temp was only at 93*. We were asked to take him to be hospitalized. That broke my heart. I was a COMPLETE wreck. But we went to the hospital on May 6. We got his temp up to 96* by the time we got there by wrapping him a ton. and then as soon as we were admitted they got his temp up to 98*. Now he has to be fed and changed then placed in his incubator to sleep. They are dropping it by one degree every six hours. And making sure he keeps his temp. they started off at 91* and want it to be able to drop to 72* with him keeping temp than he can be out a full day and keep temp to go home. As of right now we are sitting at 80* and he is holding his temp perfect!!!!
I am sure I left a lot out and will probably post another belong with more info. Especially if asked. We will let you know what the next few days consist of..
