I never did get to update everyone!  transporter and I's daughter has arrived into the world! She's our precious little early Christmas present. <3

Brianna Gene has arrived December 14th, 2020 at 9:56 a.m. via a scheduled c-section because I had gestational hypertension and she was breached with head up and feet down. It has been a rough two weeks that's for sure.

I spent 3 and half days in hospital recovering from c-section. Got to go home the afternoon of Thursday December 17th. But ended up back in the hospital Saturday night into Monday morning because of high blood pressure. Which they diagnosed me with having preeclampsia after having her. Which is rare to happen after pregnancy but it can. I thought it was most likely it because my feet swelled up like balloons friday night. It scared me.

I also had a panic attack Saturday night where I got chest pains and a really bad throbbing back. I thought I was going to die. They had to have a rapid response team come in and do an ekg. Everything came back fine on it, which I'm glad! I never want to experience that again. That was probably my 1st ever panic attack and I definitely don't want that to happen again. It was awful! They had to put me on magnesium for 24 hours which was bad too. :( It made you feel like you had the flu the whole time. Gave me a headache the whole time. But I did manage to get more sleep in the hospital. I was so thankful I could have my Husband and daughter with me too. I had to ask for formula also while we were there because I wasn't feeling up to breast feeding. But have also found out she isn't getting enough breast feeding either. So now we have been using formula as back up.

I was so glad to finally go home Monday afternoon. It figures though once we got home we realized we forgot my blood pressure pills and diuretic they prescribed me at the hospital. My poor husband had to drive 40 minutes back to the hospital to get them. I had a meltdown at home because I was getting frustrated trying to breast feed her. Thankfully when he got home he told me to take a long hot shower as needed.

I'm slowly recovering now. Not my normal self yet that's for sure. The bloating is the worst. Taking the blood pressure pills too have been also making me feel super weird, I ended up making an appointment to my obgyn to get my blood pressure checked for them to go and tell me that it's normal to feel the way I was and that it can take a week for them to start working. it's the 3rd day on them and I think it's finally feeling less weird taking them though. Which I'm glad. I'm so not used to my heart rate being as low as it has been with the meds.

Now I just have had weird taste and super dry mouth from all the meds I'm on. I told my Husband I feel like an old lady. lol.

This professional newborn photo was done by Little Bear Photography in Medina, OH. We had a newborn photoshoot of her on Wednesday and I can't wait to see her other photos. She's so cute :) I can't get enough of her! and I'm glad we have formula now as back up so she sleeps as she should and I can catch some Zs while she naps.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope everyone stays safe and healthy this holiday. The Husband and I are spending it at home ourselves and cooking. We will be facetiming family opening presents. My parents were nice enough to stop by yesterday to drop off presents and cookies. It's definitely different this year but I have the most precious gift ever. <3
