Navy May Schmidt

We like a girl that's prompt. Navy was scheduled to arrive September 3rd but on September 1st I came down with a headache and decided to check my blood pressure which was high so I called my doctor and scheduled an appointment for later that afternoon. My mom came over to keep me company and take me to my appointment (just in case) when she got to my house she had me lay down and after a bit of rest wanted me to take my bp again it was 152/112. I called the triage at my doctors office and they said just got to the hospital. I called Dallan to  let him know the change of plans but told him he should stay at work until we knew more. I got to the hospital and set up in a room they started monitoring my blood pressure and Navy she looked great the whole time. Of course the Labor and Delivery was crazy busy so my doctor was trying to do what she could to get my priority level bumped up. I was in a room being induced with in a couple of hours. My plan for natural childbirth was changing fast. I had to be on magnesium which means I was bed ridden and the Japanese soaking tub was out of the question. They also were encouraging an epidural because that lowers your blood pressure as well. They got me hooked up to that and it dropped my bp a little. Apparently my body metabolizes epidurals quickly because I would have a pain free experience for 2 hours my epidural would almost completely wear off then I'd have to wait an hour for the anaesthesiologist and that pattern continued 7 times!!! I got all the way to a 9 but with a swollen cervix and broken water the doctor didn't think vaginal delivery was going to happen. So prep for a a c-section began. As I was laying on the operating table and they informed me that they were starting I opened my eyes and looked up at the lights not being used above me and realized I could see the entire surgery. I watched until Navy came out then I was too groggy to keep my eyes open.  She was born at 3:06pm on September 2nd weighing in at 6lbs 13oz and she was 19.75 in long. Dallan got some great pictures of our girl and once they let him he brought her over to me and kissed her cheek and welcomed her to the world! She was beautiful!!! We love her so much! Dallan is so cute with her he talks to her all the time (like he is right now) So far she's been a great baby! We have to wake her up in the middle of the night to eat, we'll see how long that last! We are happy to all be home. My c section recovery has been decent I feel better everyday. I can't wait until I feel 100%. Here are some pics of our Navy!!!
