The Start of a New Life: The Beginning

Well I figured I would start from the beginning for Delainy. Johnny and I found out we were going to have her in March of last year right before a family get together. I decided to take a test just for the heck of it right before thinking that it would be fun to tell everyone at the get together if it was right, but I had doubts that I even was being that I hear it takes time. I had to have my sister-in-law double check the test for me to make sure I wasn't just seeing things. I was so excited that I called people not too long after I found out. Well pregnancy was hard with being sick through all of it, but I was thrilled. I went in to the hospital 8 days after my due date on the 21st of November at 8:30 in the morning. I didn't sleep at all the night before since I knew I had to be induced that morning. Apparently in my family the first born likes to wait to come out 2 weeks late but they will now induce people at 41 weeks instaed of 42. I guess I lucked out. Well almost 13 hours had passed and I had only dialated to a 2. It stunk. Finally at 0930 the next morning I was fully dialated. The Doctor though thought at that point that the baby was under stress and that we would do a c section. The nurse was sweet and asked the doctor about letting me try pushing first because she could tell I was scared and that I wanted to try. He agreed to let me push twice. My first push Delainy's heartbeat went fron 176 to 30 in seconds. By the time I was done pushing, I had 2 doctors including mine and 6 nurses pushing me to the Operating Room. The weird thing was I had completely jinxed myself. Debbie had said the day before that she would hve rather been in labor for a long time and had Jordan regularly then just find out and had her c section. I said knowing my luck I would be in labor for a long time and then have a c section. Sure enough. During my labor a half an hour before baby was born, we finally figured her name out. My dad and I liked Delainy and Johnny was looking at Sydney. Johnny told my dad if he never touched a coke product again that he would name the baby Delainy. For some reason he agreed to it and thus she became Delainy Tristin Jackson. She was born 8 minutes after I was taken to the O.R. at 9:53 AM. She was very alert and awake from the moment she was born and came out screaming. By the time I woke up, it was an hour after. She had had her bath and everyone with me at the time had seen her. She came out very health and we are so pleased with her. Even now she is alert and hates even going to sleep. We are very happy to have her part of our family now.
