Well, it is official Miss Irelynn going home tomorrow. Forgive my lack of keeping this post updated. Dr. Nold her Neonatologist told us not to bring her out until at least she gets her first Synagis shot, and that would put us back to October. Dr. Nold said and was firm on that, she said she is the mean "Guy" on this isssue. But, I want what is best for her you know. She is bottling great I stayed with her last night, WHICH WAS A HUGE FEAT for me and my anxiety!!!! Praise GOD!!!! I think my post partum depression is getting a little better due to the fact my mind isn't racing a "million miles an hour". It was so bad all I wanted to do was cry, cry, and cry some more and just sleep and not want to get up for the life of me. Thank you Lord again for modern medicene and allowing me to see my "flags" in regards to getting postpartum deppression and ppdOCD. One day at a time is my mantra, I will be alcohol free for three years in December, man time goes by fast. Irelynn is bottling about 75 cc's every three to four hour(what a little piggy;P). Just so you know there is about 1 ounce for every 30cc's. I watched all the videos they make you watch before the baby goes home like infant CPR , car seat safety, and the never shake a baby video. And Irelynn had to stay in her car seat test for 90 MINUTES, they changed it since last year when it was only 30 minutes, but she had no bradycardia spells or any apneic either. She was a champ and slept throught the whole thing. I will post some pictures, and all the thoughts and prayers said during my pregnancy and after Irelynn was born is VERY much apperciated.
Love,
Brittany, Mark Sr. , Jayden, Jazarae, M.J., Irelynn:), and dog (Bridgette, aka thing that eats my carpet errrrrrrrrr....lol)
Below are picture of Irelynn I took of her in the hospital as of 9/8/09:)

THE QUITE THINGS NO ONE KNOWS....

I think I am verging on the 'high' end of post partum depression. M.J.'s birthday was today, and all could really do at his party was cry and lay on the couch, And the very rude comments made by my parents' mothers' about me not a good mom not watching them, Well, I wish they could be in my FREAKING shoes for like two minutes, yeah the constant pain from my incision still being open and sorry for tmi draining is just totally the greatest NOT!!!! How can I love people that view my children being a burden, I really really want to watch my children, but physically and emotionally am not able to. I feel like two people right now, a depressed wanting to sleep all day and never wake up and very bitchy sorry for the language. I feel terrible feeling this way even more so I was blessed with another child, I have gone down much to see her much because of my ppd or I feel like it is turning into pp psychosis. Don't worry I am going call first thing Monday to get started back on my Seroquel. Please forgive me for being or seeing ungrateful, but I am sooo worn out I don't know what to do, I would rather stay away from her than have more scary thoughts and my other kids, I am such a BAD MOM, who acts like this. I want to be happy, but truly I am trying so very hard just trying to make it through my day so I can go right back to sleep. I am just one soul, but a soul that is blessed with four other little souls to take care of, but I can't because I am not feeling well. I am just sorry I am that they the kids have to see me cry alot, as they don't understand. How do I explain to a four year old that mommy can't play cause she wants to hurt herself than get out of bed and risk doing that?
Brittany
GOD PLEASE HEAR MY PRAYERS....MOM I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH PLEASE, BE MY LIFE RAFT....I WILL BE THE MOTHER I WAS SO CRUDELY PARTED WITH AT THE AGE OF THREE.
GOD PLEASE HELP ME....MOM I MISS YOU SO MUCH, WHY

Irelynn is doing well, I think I need to be down there as soon as possible, because everytime they up her calories on her formula she has fussiness and feeding issues. And she can go home on the 20 formulation, cause I do believe my other 34 weeker (Jazarae) did. It seems like it is too rich on her poor little tummy. And when ever they do bring it down to the 20 neo sure she gains weight and eats like a champ. So hopefully we or I rather can get my mom words of concern and years of momage....lol and that gut feeling about the formula issue across, she will be home in the next week or so. She has to bottle all eight of feeds and than pass the car seat test and she can come home. I am doing okay going to back on the Seroquel as I feel the postpartum depression issues are flagging their "warning signs" ie, me sleeping too much and crying alot. But, I remind myself this has happened everytime and I know what to do. I hope you ladies and little ones are doing great.

She just started bottle feeding her formula for the first time today, and I got to give her, her first bottle, which was only 5cc's but hey that is great for just starting she finished it in like what seemed 30 seconds, she did it really fast though. Last night and the night before I roomed in with her, I came home today, as I am having some issues with my c-section opening a little, SORRY TMI. But, I have to go in once a day her in Brookings for a week to have a clean dressing put in it. Below is some pictures of her I took today. I will try and write a more detailed blog later on, and try and keep this up dated as well.

IRELYNN MADE HER APPERANCE ON 8/15/09 AT 34 AND 4/7 WEEKS!!!!

Aug 18, 2009 06:49pm (EST)
I woke up after a long nap that day at around 7 pm, I was cramping some but nothing was there blood wise. So I am getting ready to eat my snack when I felt a trickle so I go to the bathroom and all of a sudden there was a HUGE gush of red blood, and it was just pooling out of me. I was dizzy, so I got some towels and layed them down and wrapped one around me, and I layed on my left side and called 911. I was bleeding so bad, and with the dizzyness I need to go to that extreme. So I had an emergency C-section, and she was born at 9:17pm that night. She had APGARS of 9 and 9 I do believe they said. She did have meconium in her fluid so they had to suction her nose, stomach, and lungs. And then Sanford came and picked her up via AIRPLANE!!!! I was surprised at that because she came out doing really well, but they didn't know at the time so I assume that is why they used the airplane. And the next day Brookings shipped me to Sioux Falls so I could be at Sanford with her too, and plus my OB didn't feel comfortable using the pain med I had set up with my birth plan in Sioux Falls, and they have pain pumps there. So I was on the Dilaudid pump for a little under 24 hours, and then my fabulous OB that I had down there put me on percocet and tordal(sp?), The doctor that originally admitted me I do not CARE FOR AT ALL(he is really rude and was very insulting towards me in the past), so I demanded to see another doctor. And plus he wanted to put me on LorTab which wouldn't have controlled the pain at that point because I was barely 8 hours post op, and I was dry heaving and didn't want to throw up my meds and plus my goodness it hurt on my surgery area so bad when I was dry heaving. So I finally got my second opinion and the doctor she was SO NICE and understanding and she stuck with the birth plan that I had already discussed with my main Peri., Dr. VanEerden. So Far Irelynn is a feeder and a grower, and they are watching her for with drawl symptoms as some of my meds can cause babies some irritablity(sp) in the first week of life or so. So far she is doing well, and being swaddled is the best treatment for her crankyness so far. She was 5 pounds and 8 ounces at birth, right now she is still on TPN and she will be until she can digest full feeds, which is about 41 cc's. I am just happy she is safe and healthy for the most part. I am at home, and will probably go see her this weekend and probably stay in the room with her as well(our first sleep over;P). I will try and keep you all posted, thank you for all the love,thoughts, and prayers of support.
Brittany, Mark, and the family

I just wanted to thank all of you on your supportive messages in the past few posts....it means the world to me. I am feel very blessed to hit 34 weeks so lets hope I can hit 36 and then hopefully 37. Because at 37 weeks, if I make it that far, I will get an amnio and than if Irelynn's lungs are mature enough we will precede in the C-section. So again thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for all the supportive posts.
Britt and Miss Irelynn

IN THE HOSPITAL, THIS TIME I THINK FOR THE LONG HAUL....:(

Aug 01, 2009 04:17pm (EST)
So early on Thursday on at 12:30am I was getting up to the bathroom I started bleed a little bit. I was just getting ready to go to bed when this happened. I went into the ER at the Brookings hospital, and then the bleeding got worse and then I started hemmoraging, So they shipped me down to Sioux Falls via ambulance, and then when i got here they were debated to deliver me or not, but the bleeding subsided. So my blood count was really low on iron it was like 8.3 and so they asked me if I would get a blood transfusion, due to the fact I could abrupt again and then it would be really life threatening. So I got two units of blood yesterday, so who ever donates out there thank you!!!! I donated once in high school and I planned on donating after this pregnancy, but now I have to wait a year after the transfusion. So right now I am on a waiting game. I hope I get to go home on bed rest but, I doubt that, that will happen:(...., Oh, well I will 33 weeks on Tuesday so that is a milestone. I will try and keep you guys updated. They are guessing her weight around 5 lbs 2 oz!!!! What a chuncky monkey....lol!!!!! So that is all for now.

WHY WON'T MY BLOOD PRESSURE STAY DOWN, EVEN WHILE I HAVE BEEN ON BED REST????
|
|
Jul 21, 2009 11:47pm (EST)
So yesterday I was in the ER, well early this morning around 3 am. I went in for my nausea and my severe migraine that the dilaudid I have at home wasn't helping. My blood pressure was like 168/89!!!! And I kid you not all I did yesterday was rest and drink water with the exception of my one soda a day. So I was really frustrated with going into the ER, but it seems like the fluids helped my blood pressure go down. They checked my vitals before I left and my blood pressure was like 122/66. So it could be the iv dilaudid or fluids I don't know which one. So I will have to give the Dr. a call in the morning cause I can't keep going in for narcs and fluid everynight, I did eat lunch meat so the nitrates might have given me the migraine along with the sodium in the meat. I am just SICK AND TIRED OF THE FING MIGRAINES. I have a hard time even giving the girls a bath without feeling dizzy, and all I am doing is resting and drinking water during the day with a few exceptions. Any input or advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Brittany

FRUSTRATED, DUE TO BEING ON BED REST AGAIN!!!!!
|
|
Jul 18, 2009 10:48pm (EST)
So it was decided it was in the best interest of me and the baby that I go on bedrest. I was gaining weight like crazy due to the swelling, last week it was like 10 lbs in one week. So my peri. had me admitted to the hospital for a 24 hour urine protien screen to make sure I wasn't developing pre-eclampsia. I am happy to announce that it was clear for protiens, but they think that if the kids are in day care during the day and I have less stuff to do that my migraines will slow down and so will the swelling and keep my blood pressure down, as it seems that they go hand in hand. I just wanna take care of them like I normally do. But, I will keep them at night when Mark Sr. works night shifts, so that makes me feel a little bit better. I also got a second consult with another nuerologist, a woman this time, and she told me I am doing everything I am suppose to with my migraines, and the medication will stay the same. She also told me to stay away from peanut butter, which I have been trying to but it is so hard when you crave it:P, and to also stay away from all nuts, because it is thought that the protiens in nuts can cause migraines. She also told me I didn't need to do the CATSCAN because I had one a 22 for a severe migraine at the er, and they checked for bleeds and such and were fine. So I gonna do as much as I can with out over duing it less than 9 weeks till she is here. I hope all you ladies are doing well.
xoxo,
Britt and Miss Irelynn
P.S. On the day I got admitted to the hopsital they did my weight scan for Irelynn and she is weighing roughly 3lbs 8 oz, that is .5 lighter than M.J. was at when he was born ant 31 and 2/7 weeks!!!! Below is a picture of M.J. Mark Sr. took, M.J. woke up with this mohawk, and no one did it, lol, so he must have done it himself....lol!!!!
