Ok here we go, I know alot of you are probably dying to know whats going on with me, so sorry to keep you all in the dark, it's been a rough week and a half.  First of all, my labor went extremely well UNTIL after she was out.  Go figure right?  We broke the water at 9:10, contractions really got hard around noon, I changed positions and began to push right away.  She was COMING and fast.  I pushed twice and there she was a BEAUTIFUL BLONDE baby girl.  8 Lbs 12.8 oz.  21 inches long.  at 12:35 pm.  The trouble started when it was time to deliver the placenta.  She couldn't get it out.  I had an entire ARM inside me, trying to remove the placenta that was stuck.  In the end we found out I had placental acreation, or something like that, my placenta had grown through the scar tissue in my uterin wall, from my d and c's from my previous miscarriages.  So I was advised not to have any more children.  In a blink of an eye, I was getting jewelry ripped off me and contacts taken out of my eyes and rushed off to the OR to have another d and c.  When I woke up I was told that they didn't know if it was completely removed and I was being careflighted to Miami Valley hospital in Dayton oh.  I had a balloon folley and packing in my uterus and off I went, I got to see my baby for 3 min tops,  and as I was being rushed to the chopper I had to give my two other babies a kiss, and they were bawling and scared.  So in a nut shell I was ripped from my baby and my 2 girls for 2 days.  My hubby and mom joined me in Dayton for 2 days.  I was finally discharged because they said they should have got it all and all looked well.  I could have died and I was never more scared of leaving my kids.  Thank God i was blessed with so many people that went to the hospital all hours and took care of my Kennedy.  We are now breast feeding and all is going well.  I love her soooo much.  Thanks for all your prayers.  we are finally past it all!  Thank the good LORD!

    I literally had my mouth hanging open reading your story. I am beyond glad that you are safe and well now. I know you must have been so terrified and to not get to hold your little one for two days must have been heartbreaking. But thank God all is well now and Kennedy is BEAUTIFUL. Hugs to your whole family sweetie!

Well with only 6 short days left til INDUCTION DAY, I'm trying to tie up any loose ends as far as the baby goes.  Cleaning my house too.  Getting bags packed and cleaning the car for a NEW carseat.  I CAN"T BELIEVE THE DAY IS ALMOST HERE!  WOW where has time gone!  I got my hair cut and colored, I go tonight for a mani and a pedi, (LOL gotta look nice for the BIG day)  and I had to make sure all orders were in and ready to go when it comes to pictures, I do have 3 people still deciding on orders, but ordering isn't the hard part.  All the pics are done and everyone has their proofs, so it's just a matter of ordering.  So easy I think the HUBBY could even do it lol.  Any Whoo, I went to the doc yesterday, and as she was examining me, she just kept saying WOW WOW, which was followed by, you are 3 cm dialated, 70% efaced, and the head is REALLY low and the cervix is very soft.  So I guess thats all REALLY great news.  She doesn't think I'll even make it to induction day, but in a sad way I kinda hope I almost make it, because this IS my last baby and I have 6 days TOPS to be pregnant, for the REST of my life.  Thats hard to grasp at 25 yrs old.  I wouldn't mind having another one some day, but I don't think I could afford another one, 4 girls is ENOUGH!  The one we'll only have every now and then, but heck, she still needs everything the other girls do.  Well anyway, if you don't hear from me in awhile hopefully it means I've had a healthy baby girl.  PLEASE PLEASE pray for a healthy baby and delivery.  I'm going to bring the computer to the hospital so expect some really cute pics soon after delivery.  I'm quick like that lol.  Thanks again to all your prayers and support.  I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!  WISH ME LUCK!
