Rub My Eyes

It feels like the things that have transpired recently are from someone elses life. Chaotic and beautiful all at the same time. Hezekiah was readmitted back into Loma Linda Childrens Hospital on Wednesday evening. His incision was leaking cerebral fluid.
The next morning I had my OB appointive and was in the early stages of labor. I was advised to go to the hospital as soon as I could. I was at a five and 85% effaced. I went and made some arrangements first. My mom met me at the childrens hospital so that Jimmy could come to the birth. When I arrived at Hezzies room he had just had some fluid removed via some syringes that nearly made me faint. Before my mom arrived we took Hezzie to see Santa in the lobby and do some fun things.
We arrived around 12:30-1 at Pass Hospital and my labor was going better. At 5:51 my water was broken. At 6:45 little baby Tanni was born. I don't think I even pushed. I was sitting up and the nurse was rubbing my lower back. I was in AA panic and swore I was cussing the nurses out. Jimmy says that wasn't true. I told the nurse the baby was coming laid back and breathed through about three big contractions....she was out and the nurse caught her one handed before my OB could get there. He was just down the hall, it was that fast.
Hezzie came home Friday, the baby and I came home Saturday. I have to say I'm not doing well with the amount of stitches I have. I'm not enjoying that discomfort. Just hoping it doesn't linger.
I found out Jimmys dear friend passed the day Tanni was born. It's like his padding made room for Tanni on earth and now he's with his own children. RIP Chris.
We have a post op for Hezzie tomorrow. I hope it's better news. I just want to rub my eyes and wake up...and have it be rainbows and unicorns everyday. Well, maybe not, because I probably would take wonderful things for granted.

On the 29th

Of November...life was crazy. Hezzie was at Loma Linda on an IV waiting for fluid to be extracted from his incision. Oh, I should mention it was cerebral fluid. I had a morning OB appt and was contracting. I was checked and at a five. I was told to go to the hospital.
I drove to Loma Linda to get Jimmy. While waiting for my mom we saw Santa and Hezzie made a gingerbread house. He was upset when we left.
We came to Banning at around 1:30 pm and we welcomes Tanni Rainbow into the world at 6:45 pm. She weighed 9lbs 11ozs and was 20.5 inches long. Shea big and beautiful. Her hair is black. She was born vaginally with no epidural . She came so fast the nurse caught her with one glove. I did no pushing just deep breaths. Big ones!
She's amazing. Hezzie is home now abs we will be home tomorrow.
