Welcome to the world, Isabelle <3

So, I can't sleep so I'm gonna blog! Today has absolutely been the most amazing day of my life. I laid eyes on my baby girl at 10:23 am after being here since 5:00 Friday night! Early Friday morning, we had an appointment with the perinatologist. We had our routine ultrasound, and when we went in for our consult, the doctor told us that she her growth hadn't progressed in almost 2 weeks and it was time to schedule an induction! She sent us to my regular OB office and we scheduled for Sunday night at 7:30. HOWEVER... Around 3 I started having stomach cramps, and around 4 I was vomiting, having diarrhea, the whole 9 yards... My OB sent me to the hospital, where they didn't do much for me and were going to discharge me... My mom, however, could tell my contractions were getting pretty regular and when I started to vomit WATER, called the OB from the hospital and explained the situation, and I was re-admitted, and they started fluids and a naseua medicine. Finally after a few hours, the contractions slowed and I was more than happy to go home. But my OB had other plans... She ordered me to be induced! So around midnight they started the induction process... I'm gonna skip past all the gruesome details, sooo... After a LOOOONG 30 some hours, my beautiful baby girl was finally born at 10:23 am, weighing in at just 3 lbs 13 oz at a length of 16 1/2 inches. They took her right away, and even though I had been expecting that, it broke my heart nonetheless. After just a few hours her surgeon came to talk to us... We got MIRACULOUS news! The process that usually takes around a week to replace the bowels had already been DONE! Her bowels are already completely on the inside, and now we're just waiting for her surgery scheduled on Tuesday!! She is doing AWESOME and has been alert and very feisty! (Takes after her momma already!) By the time I was well enough to walk to the NICU ward to see her, she was sedated because she was fighting all the doctors & procedures and they needed her to not be overstimulated. I cried (again) upon seeing her... I got to touch her little feet, and her daddy held her hand, and I even got to plant a kiss or two on that tiny little forehead. Later when I made a second trip down there, I was talking to her and she would open her eyes every time she heard my voice. <3 She's so itty-bitty but she's stable and looking SO good. The doctors seemed very impressed with her so far. She's my little fighter and all the prayers from everyone have definitely made an impact!! I'll keep you updated later, guys. I need to get to sleep so I can wake up and go back to her room in the morning <3 <3
