She was born on December 28th at 4:33 pm. <br/><br/>This is my labor story...<br/><br/>I had a scheduled induction for 6:00 am. When I got to the hospital that morning I was 100% effaced and 2cm dilated. They started me on pitocin around 7 am and my doc came in and broke my water around 7:30. By 930/10:00 I was 3 1/2 cm and getting my epi! At 12:00 noon I was 6 cm and loving being in labor and pain free. ;) Around 2:00 pm I started feeling pressure in my back and when the nurse checked me I was 9 cm. She told me that the pressure/pain I was feeling was from the baby pushing through my pelvis. Well, after a few more contractions i had full feeling on my right side. I was 9cm and feeling all my contractions on one side. I was freaking out! The anesthesiologist came in and topped off my epi! I was pain free again but then it was time to push! I started pushing around 2:45 pm and couldnt feel a thing. I pushed for an hour with almost absolutely no progress. The doc decided to give me a small resting break before I started pushing again. He threatened if I didnt make any progress with my pushes that I would have a c-section =(. After a 30 minute rest I had a little bit of feeling and was able to push her out with about 3 pushes. Thank God! My little angel was born weighing 8 lbs and 19 1/4 inches long!!!<br/><br/>Around 6:00 am the next morning she was sent to nicu for two days because of her breathing and low glucose levels. But she is fine now and we are all at home loving life and loving being parents. I stare at her constantly in disbelief and thank God everyday that his has given me this beautiful human being!<br/><br/>Here is a website that has Hope's newborn pics.....<br/><br/>http://www.hopebrown.com/blog/<br/><br/>Her pics are under the title First Newborn of the Year and she is referred to as Miss H. She is the first 4 pics on the page. Please go see my beautiful baby! I will try to post my own pics later!<br/><br/>I hope everyone is doing well!!!!</div> <p><a href="/profile/kris-due-1-1-10" title="Kris(Due~1/1/10)"><img alt="Hope_2" border="0" src="http://www.fertilityties.com/profile/image/3364/thumb/HOPE_2.jpg?1256781186" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/kris-due-1-1-10">Kris(Due~1/1/10)</a> </p> Sun, 10 Jan 2010 00:31:18 -0600 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/the-journey-to-my-miracle/484882 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/the-journey-to-my-miracle/484882 <div>Hey Kris how are you?

About 3 years ago we found out that the reason we werent having any luck was because of me. I had a large cyst on my left ovary and stage II endometriosis. <br/><br/>I had several surgeries to remove the endo. and eventually had to have my left ovary and tube removed. Recently, I found out that I have Stage 4 endometriosis and a hole in my only tube=( <br/><br/>I was put on lupron shots(which was horrible) for 3 months after the removal of my tube and ovary. And about 10 weeks after my last shot of lupron, I found out I was pregnant. Unfortunately, I developed a blood clot in the placenta which caused me to miscarry at 10 weeks pregnant (November 2006). About a year later my doc started giving me clomid. I took 50mg for 3mths with no luck. So the 4th mth he gave me 100mg...and it worked. I became pregnant but miscarried at 6 weeks(That was October of 2007).<br/><br/>Now here we are our 2nd round of clomid at 100mg....So wish us LUCK!! And Sticky Baby Dust to ALL!!<br/><br/>UPDATE:<br/><br/>I went thru 3 more rounds of clomid and tamoxifen with no luck. I started seeing a new RE in September of 08. We went thru 3 rounds of IUI (October, November and December 08) with no luck. My RE performed laproscopic surgery on me in March 09. He removed more endometriosis and drained a cyst on my only ovary. He was very satisified with the results of the surgery and told me and dh to try on our own for a couple of months and then he would agree to do 2 more iui's. <br/><br/>Fortunately, the first month we tried we got pregnant! I ovulated on our 6th wedding anniversary and we found out we were pregnant a week before my dh's birthday. I am currently 6wks 1day pregnant and our little miracle is due January 1, 2010!!!<br/><br/></div> <p><a href="/profile/kris-due-1-1-10" title="Kris(Due~1/1/10)"><img alt="Hope_2" border="0" src="http://www.fertilityties.com/profile/image/3364/thumb/HOPE_2.jpg?1256781186" /></a><br /> <a href="/profile/kris-due-1-1-10">Kris(Due~1/1/10)</a> </p> Sat, 09 May 2009 16:35:44 -0500 http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/the-journey-to-my-miracle http://www.fertilityties.com/post/show/the-journey-to-my-miracle
