More on Melia...
First of all, Anne, Andrew's eyes are huge and he has grown so much!
Well, finally I have some time to sit down on the computer and tell you more about earlier this week. We went in on Tuesday morning around 8:30 and the doctor came in and broke my water and they started the pitocin through the IV. Everything was great and then contractions started getting stronger and stronger. My doctor was doing surgeries during the whole day and he was on call so he was the one to deliver all the babies. He definitely was busy that day. They came and checked me when the contractions were geting about 2 minutes apart and I was at 4-5 cm so they asked the doctor and he said to get the epidural going. So they got that in and IT WAS WONDERFUL! I would recommend it highly. Anyway, around 4:45 I had the feeling to push so we started and then 45 minutes later and almost not in time for the doctor to come, Melia was born at 5:29 pm and she was 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. I did get a 2nd degree tear and when the doctor went to do stitched, the epidural wore off enough to the point where I could feel him doing the stitches. OUCH! so he numbed it up for me! Anyway, Melia did have the umblical cord wrapped around her neck once, but I didn't even know until Treven told me later on. The doctor didn't want to alarm me at all. Everything went great though! I feel like it was all a dream though.I went home from the hospital a day later. They also moved me floors and when they do that, they give you a box of diapers for free which has 240 diapers in it so we didn't mind AT ALL! Treven is more affected with being tired then I am right now even though he gets a lot more sleep then I am. Oh well though! I guess it is supposed to be that way right now. I definitely agree with Anne in that I could have never thought I could love her this much. I am so grateful to have her here and for Treven and I to have a family now. It is definitely an amazing experience and worth it!
For Marnie, She has dirty blonde hair and she has dark blue eyes, for now at least. She definitely has Treven's feet and hands though because they are huge. She is very strong and loves to stretch out. She did great with feeding at the beginning, but now with my milk in, she was having a difficulty. I went to the lactation specialist today and she was WONDERFUL! Now everything is 100% better.
Adina and for everybody else, Treven, Melia and I will be coming home Friday December 15th and we are getting into Portland at like 5:30pm and leaving on Monday December 18th in the morning. So we will be having the blessing in Mom and Dad's ward on the 17th of December. Treven's pepsi job doesn't allow us to be away during Christmas so that is the best weekend we could get over there and I don't want to have Treven be alone on Christmas so we decided the weekend before.
Anne, I don't think Treven will be able to get the Friday after Thanksgiving off because their big stock days are Tuesday's and Friday's and especially with being right after Thanksgiving... I don't think he will be able to. We are still looking into it though so sorry it is taking a while. We are planning on coming on Wednesday, but don't know if it will only be until Thursday night or not. Also I love the car seat cover you got us. Melia loves it. She got mad that I took her out of it today because she was so warm.
Mom is heading home tomorrow. It has been wonderful having her here this last week. She has been helping us out so much. I will miss having her here though.
Well, that is all for now! We are just chugging along and can't wait to come home and see some family. We will be staying at Mom and Dad's for this visit just to let you all know. Marnie, I need IDEAS for Christmas. Treven wants to play his computer game now... so I need to get off the computer. Love you all and thanks for all the comments.
