Maxon Charlie Warpinski The Birth Story

Sorry Blogger world for the absence on the blog. We have had a crazy two weeks. But at least I have a very good reason and a whole bunch of cute pictures to come :)

On Nov 18th My water broke while I was at home and Josh and Bella were outside round baling corn fodder. This was at 3:20pm. So I had to text him to come in, as i wasn’t sure what was happening. Then I call my doctor’s office and the told me to head to labor and delivery. I was completely confused. I couldn't talk to anyone with out tears. I had my sister call my mom for me so she could come get Bella for us. Since it would be two hours before she would arrive, I called my friend Christi's to see if we could drop Bella off at her house. Josh had to finish up some stuff in the barn, while I ran around the house getting the last minute stuff together. Poor Bella was confused since I kept crying.

it then took us until 4:30 to get to town. Bella went to Christi's house and while we were there the hospital even called to check on us. We got all checked in and settled in to a room. I was the only one there. They hooked me up to the moniters to see if i was having any contractions along with monitering the baby since he wasn’t moving much. It was around 5:30 before the doc was able to come up and check me.  i was at 3 and started me on cytotech to help bring on the contractions. Josh decided to head back to the farm to get some more stuff done since i was in an ok spot. Also he took Bella back home and waited for my mom to get her at the farm. With in 40 mins of my first pill i was feeling the contractions. I was walking the halls and chatting with the nurse Teri. I knew that I had to keep moving and it seemed to be easier to walk through them.

When Josh got back around 8 and the doc wanted me to power walk a few times before she would check me again, and i got my next dose of meds. then we walked the halls. around 9pm i used the birthing ball. The contractions were mostly in the back, but a few where in front. it was then when Josh started timing the contractions for me. Before then I didn’t really bother. 9:30 came the next dose of meds and after that it went quickly. After the meds I needed to be monitored in bed for 20 mins. Josh was going to take a short nap and i got settled in bed, only to ask if had to be laying down. Which i did since the baby seemed to only be active if i was laying on my left side. So the nurse got my doctor who checked me to say i was at 8. I then asked for some pain meds. She told me I had to wait. They wanted to get a good reading on the baby first, but given i could lay in bed it was really hard. I later found out she marked me down for active labor at 9:40. She also told me if i wanted to start pushing I could.

I remember going to the bathroom and that’s where i got the first feeling to push, to where she quickly got me back to the bed. Once I laid in bed, i started pushing and Max was here after about 11 mins of pushing..i think it was around 10 total pushes in about 3 contractions. My doc was not ready at all and ask me to wait a min so she could get her gloves on. He entered the world at 10:19pm. He had the cord wrapped around his neck and probably explains the lack of movement and why i had to lay on my side. Josh had predicted 10:46pm and i just laughed at him.  Max started screaming once he was suctioned out and didn’t stop for a long time. But he was such a clean baby with a nice round head. He didn’t drop until i started pushing.

 

On the way to the hospital! Bella was excited.

Last Belly shot…37 weeks 6 days

Max is here!!!

 

With Mommy…finally quiet

March and April Baby Bee updates

here's updates from my other pregnancy blog:
warp2.ourbabychannel.com check it out
I had to edit it a bit since we are getting ready to announce to family and i don't want them to know a much detial. lol

March 27th- I had been holding off on taking a pregnancy test until around my birthday, but Josh pointed out that I already was pregnant. How he knew i have no clue. He did mention that i had a test in the bathroom. I thought I had used it. So he and bella went out for chores and I decided, "what the heck , I'll take it" I know you should take it in the morning, but what did i have to lose? So I took and it and lo and behold the plus sign showed up.

I was really excited, so I had to make up an excuse to go out the barn to tell Josh. So I used that Bella could use a snack. He was busy getting the cows in, so I had to wait. Once he was done, I gave the test to Bella and told him to go to Daddy and "i'm a big sister" Naturally he wasn't too surprised, but still was happy. then i realized i took a blue dye test, so i had to run to the store for a pink dye one instead.. Google if you wanna know the difference. That test too came out with two lines.. even after i barely was able to get it wet enough. LOL



March 28th- I call the Doctor to see when i can come in to have them confirm the pregnancy. The Nurse said she would call in orders to the lab and I could come in anytime. So we went to town late morning. Got there and had to wait, but lucky for me it just made it easier to pee in the cup. I do that and then i'm told to wait out in the waiting room and the nurse would come get me to tell me the results. About two mins later she comes back and tells me " Congratulations, you are pregnant" She said my due date is Dec 5th based on their calenders, so that makes me 4.2 weeks along right now. If the .2 is days or percent of the week i'm not sure. She also said that I can come in for my first official doctor's appointment 2nd or 3rd week in May. That seems so FAR away! But My appointment is May 17th at 1:30pm. I big announce to all family and friends will go out after that.

As of right now i've only told one person since I had to tell someone. I also ordered Bella a Big Sister shirt to tell people with :)

March 30th: Last night Josh and I went out to celebrate my birthday with date night. So apparently this morning sickness thing is like a hangover.. greasy fried food is the way to cure it. Over night I've decided this baby will be Baby Bit. I've been trying to think of a nickname for the baby since Bella's was given to her before she was even thought of.

March 31st- Happy Birthday to Mommy! Things have been going a bit smoother. I think my vitiams are causing more sickness then Baby Bit. But I need to remember to take them! yesterday Bella and I went to Madison I brought a little onesis that says "i love my aunt" for Baby Bit and a newborn cloth diaper. I'm so excited to cloth diaper this baby as much as i can. Also my nightmares that i was having have gone away! Praying they do not come back!

April 1st_ Happy April fools day. So Today I "prank" three people.. two of them believed me and one does not.. She is going to be mad when I really tell her. So that makes two more people that know. Mother nature played a big prank on us and gave us snow! I'm not really hungry these days, but I know i need to eat, so i tend to eat when i feel starving. Bad dreams came back last night and I took my vitiams at bedtime..so I think they are the cause.

April 2nd- Happy 5 week... 35 more to go! I just went back to see when I told people about Bella.. turns out I told my family at 5 weeks. I thought i was closer to 6 weeks. I also told all my friends around 8-9 weeks..seems i'm turning that around this time around.

April 3rd-let the researching begin!! Also the planning and re-organizing!

April 4th_ should edit to say my doc gave me a due date of Dec 5th but when i caluctate online it say Dec 3rd..so i'm sticking with the 3rd :)

April 9th- Happy 6 weeks! 34 more to go! We are off to Easter with the Jahnke's but they won't be find out just yet. I'm pretty tired and moody, so praying i can get through the day without too much trouble! I'm gald to be at 6 weeks and praying the rest of the weeks fly by too!

April 14th- happy anniversary Mommy and Daddy. I was pregnant for my first anniversary and now my 3rd. I'm 6 weeks 5 days.. I've found some cheap snowsuits for Baby Bee so at least we have some cold weather wear :)

April 17th- Happy 7 weeks and one day. On Thursday I told Nana and Aunt Tracey about the baby. Well really Bella did. She wore her "big sister 2 bee" shirt. They are all excited! Only 4 more weeks until our first Doc's appointment. Also I got some medicine to help with the crummy feeling and nauseous feeling too.

April 22nd- Happy Earth Day Baby Bee! B/c today is earth day, i was able to get a good start on diapers for you! I'm so excited to cloth diaper this time around. They are so many more choices then i realized with Bella.

April 23rd- Happy 8 weeks today! Time is moving quickly it seems some days, but others not so much. I moved my Doc's appointment to May 10th, so that I may hear Baby bee's little heartbeat a bit earlier. It's going to be a long 2 weeks. I've discovered that cereal and milk are my best friend. I eat a bowl before i go to bed and a bowl when i get up in the morning and it seems to help with the morning sickness. I'm so bummed that I can't eat chocolate.. I think this baby is out to get me.

April 29th-Almost 9 weeks. Went rummaging today and got a bunch of great deals for Baby Bee.. I've been picking up some gender neutral items since we won't find out if Baby bee is a girl or boy until July.

One Year ago

One year ago, I was in labor and thought it hurt with each contraction as i walked the halls and outside. It was really hot out, a typical july day. I had been admited the night before and spend all night in the hospital. JOsh was there for most of it with me. My mom came up to visit, but there was no signs of a baby and i was in pain.
It wasn't until suppertime that my water was broken by Dr. erin that I really start to know what pain was. I would spend 2.5 hours in the shower and not even know it. Then spend the next 5 hours in painful labor. With one perfect result...My baby girl. Bella came into this world at 12:37am On her daddy's birthday. I don't even recall my feelings at the moment other than making sure she was all right as she was pretty redish/purple. Josh cut the cord and she stayed wrapped up in my t-shirt on my chest for a bit. It was an amazing moment! It has changed everything about my life and I never want to go back!
I love my little girl!

weeek 36 4/7ths
By ktwarp, On 7/28/08 9:38 PM
Well I"m back from my doctor's appointment. I"m still on bed rest and looks like I will be at least until next week. Which i totally forgot to schedule my appointment for next week. My weight gain is ok, my blood pressure is still ok, it's jsut the protien in my urine and my swelling in my hands and feet. So i ended up wtih more blood drawn and having to the the 24 hours test again. Then I got to go upstiars to the hospital for a non stress test for the baby. THey monitered her heart-rate and any contractions i could be having for 20 mins. I have to go back on Wendesday for another one of those. Also i'm allowed to go to my last child birth class on Wedensday, w hich is good ebcuase that is when i'm suppose to pre-register for hte hospital anyhow. IT doesn't look like the baby will be coming this week unless something bad comes back from my two test. My doctor said it would be a fine balance as to when it would be a good time for the baby to come. I might know more on monday, but I have a gut feeling that she will come next week some time.(this is totally jsut me and nothing my doctor has said)
update to 35 and 5/7 weeks
By ktwarp, On 7/24/08 4:35 PM
hello all,
I"m sorry to do this in a mass email since i'm sure there is more that I could personally type to all of you, but i thought this would be simplier for right now. As of today i'm on Bed rest until my next Doctor's appointment. Here's a little summary of what happend on Tuesday:
Unfourtunaly this appointment was not as good as the others. My weight is normal, as is my blood pressure. I guess my swelling in my hands and feet and there is protien in my urine so my doctor is a bit concered about preeclampsia. So I had to have some more blood work done :( Also I have to collect my urine for 24 hours to help my doctor know more about what is going on. I'm kind of bummed that she will be gone from tomorrow until the weekend. She didn't seem to worried, but seems like we have to be precautionous. I did mentioned to her that there was a certian day I don't want a baby and a certian day that I would like to have a baby and she seemed ok with that. I think that this baby will be coming earlier than later, which is ok for me.
On wendsday I got my blood work back and it said everything looked ok, but the finally call would be after my urine test. Well first thing this morning, i got the results back from that, and they even called my doctor who is currenly out and said that I have preeclampsia and she wants me on bed rest until at least Monday. She will test me again on monday when I go in for my appointment and then we will go from there.
I don't knwo what that really means since I only talk to the nurse. I really won't know what is going to happen since I guess i wasn't too worried at my last visit to ask what happens if i fail the test. I will be around my cell p hone for hte weekend, but my loving sister has decided to come visit me friday night until Sunday so that should be fun.
I will updating the cradle website (http://www.thecradle.com/web/thewarpinskis/webpage ) when i know more..and probably with a copy of this email. Also I will try today to get back to every who has emailed me and is waiting for an email back. I"M not really suppose to be on the comptuer downstiars since it's hard to have my feet up down here, but i'm hoping to get my laptop to connect again.
So i think that is it. Don't freak out if you don't get an email back right away. I promise ya all I'm not having this baby this weekend.
Love ya and talk to you soon
Katie

Another visit down and around 4 to go...

Josh and I have picked a date for the baptism, but still don't have a church yet. I think I might just have to go with St. Clement's sicne i know we can get ahold of someone who will tell us what we need to do. I was really hoping to have it at St. Mary's so then we could use hte park in town instead of our house, but i guess we could use a park in Lanster or the Park in Stitzer. WE have one more person to ask to be Godmother and then that will all be taken care of.
THe baby's room is ready. THe day bed really doesn't fit, but we don't have room yet in the scrapbook room, so for right now it will have to do. I mean there is room to move around and to get to the closet and such. I just need to pack a hospital bag for me and the baby yet.

first class
By ktwarp, On 7/21/08 9:10 PM
well last Wednesday was the first birthing class. It was kind of interesting. the teacher was new and had just been trained for the class last week, but she has given birth and was an ob nurse so she did know what she was talking about. Her partener had hurt her back so she couldn't be there. Our class is big for hte size of the room we have. I think it was 9 pregant woman with 8 coachs, so yeah we just got to sit and relax in the A/C. We got a bunch of reading stuff and next week sounds like it will be fun. We will tour the rooms where we give birth. YEsterday we got to see a birth on video and let me tell ya those people are crazy.. we got our early and we had no problem with that. We got again this week wednesday. It should be interesting.
Also tomorrow is my next Doctor's appointment. I really hope the Docotor doesn't say i'm going to have it this week becuase she will be gone the rest of hte week becuase of something she needs to do for medical boards..lol
by the middle of this week, it will be month left until my due date!

July UPdates thus far
By ktwarp, On 7/14/08 10:36 PM
Baby UPdate: July 14I went to the doctor today, The appointment went well. My weight gain is ok, blood pressure is good. She check to see if the baby was head down yet. She thinks she might be, but she's still really high yet. Which is ok for me since I would like her to wait until August to come..lol I'm offically on weekly appointments now. Which seems like a lot, but i've only got 5 more weeks.. Scary!! I have a shower the last weekend of July. I relized i'm still missing important baby items, .like bottles and a diaper bag. The baby's room is set up, minus the light. Apprently my fun sun light doesn't take normal lights, so Josh is debating on what to do or what bulbs to use. The baby is very active, and i've been sick. I caught a cold after having Sara, Elly and Drew over for the 4th weekend. Naturally it's been hard to be recover. I'm still sick, but the doctor gave me some cough meds so hoping this works and i can get better soon. Wednesday Josh and I go for our first childbirth class. It should be intersting.

Doctor's appointment and juneish update
By ktwarp, On 6/11/08 12:33 AM
So the appointment went well. I only gained a pound and my blood pressure was back to normal so that's a good sign. Doctor seemed happy with everything. We listed to the heartbeat and it went up from 140 to 150, but the baby was very active that it was hard for her to get a good reading. I officially start the closer appointments, Three weeks until the next one and then after that two weeks until August. I’m excited its 10 weeks left as of Thursday. Also July 16, 23, 30 are our birthing classes. I can’t wait for July!
The baby’s closet is 99% done, the hanging bar is to thick for my hangers so Josh is going to fix that yet. Rachel is coming this weekend to start painting the animals on the wall. J I’m also watching the sales now to get the crib/changing table. Once we find that I’m so making my husband set it up.

Doc's appointment

doctor's appointment
By ktwarp, On 5/12/08 11:30 PM
Well I went for my doctor's appt today. It was this afternoon, so i got done at noon from work after a really crappy day. I think i might be done there sooner than later. I had to drink the sugar oranage stuff. It wasn't too bad. Only problem was that I drank it and then forgot to drink a bunch of water. Got to the doctor's office just in time. Got weighted (up 7 pounds since the last visit 5 weeks ago) then they took my blood pressure and found out it was kind of high. I think it was mostly stress, but then they took my blood. Doctor came in and said that she is worried about my weight, (i lost 20 pounds before putting on weight) and my blood pressure. So she took it again and said it was still the same, so i have to go back on wednesday to get my blood pressure tested again. I pray it's ok. I asked if work could be the cause and she said part of it, the other part is cut out salt. Also to deal with my tireness i need to nap..yeah that one will be just as hard. so yeah.. baby's heartbeat is 140 and seems to be doing just fine. I"m just kind of bummed about my appointment.
in other news i'm went through what baby clothes i've brough thus far. i've got a lot of three to six months, but not so much of anything else. also i lack oneies, tshirts and socks. I"m hoping to find a bunch of 6 to 9 months winter clothes. I'm going to city wide rummage sales with mom on saturday so hoping fr good deals.
My shower is coming up in three weeks! i'm excited.
I might have to change my bottles back to the ones i posted about, but then i changed my mind, but thinking of chnaging my mind again. Oh what';s new!

24 weeks

24 weeks
By ktwarp, On 5/7/08 1:15 AM
24 weeks already and very close to 25 weeks. I think the doctor said at 25 weeks if something should happen that they would try to save the baby. Which is kind of reassuring. I've really gotten into the nesting mode. The other day i pulled out all the clothes that i've been getting from friends, family and just me. I have a ton of 3-6 which i'm sure will not be enough when she gets here, but still it trumps any other size. Also I have a bunch of little shoes but only a few socks..lol I think i'm good with diapers until she gets to the mediums too.
Josh and I ahve talked about working on the baby's room and I think Memorial day i'm going to get some help from my mom and aunt to do the big painting. I hope to get Rachel down in June to paint the one wall. The goal is to get the crib once we get our money from uncle sam. So by mid june, but really can't set it up til the wall is painted.
Things are coming along..i'm going to try to update here more... Doc's appointment is Monday!!!
