Carissa's Blog

It's amazing how her face slightly changes after she's born. She's even more cuter than ever! :)

Ok Birth story from me...
1:58 am: I felt my water pop, went to the bathroom and went back to bed suddenly there's this gush fluid came out. Carson already fell asleep, so I called first nurse and then she told me to go to the hospital ASAP.

2:00 am: the nurse hooked me to an iv since I'm group B-strep test positive. so they had to give me an antibiotic every 5 hrs. Contractions come regular every 2-3 minutes apart. Pain still tolerable.

6:00 am: can't handle the pain anymore, contractions come every 1-2 minutes. So I asked for epidural and they check my cervix... 5-6 cm

7:30 am: finally I got my epidural... the process of getting it was painful but after that.. I'm in heaven!!! :)

finally I had time to relax and got some sleep. Dr. checked me around 9am and I was already 9 cm so she said I'm gonna start to push around 10am.

Start pushing at 10:30-ish, didn't really feel anything.... except some pressure, finally at 11:58am she decided to come out... so fast that i got 30 stitches!!! yeap 30!!

So there she is... perfect...beautiful 7 lbs baby 20 inches long... Carissa Amelia.. she's such a smart baby. They said baby will make an eye contact by 6-9 weeks old..and there she was, alert and really responsive with voices.

Carson was a good supporter.. i love him so much.. and i love carissa more than anything!!!
