Maeci Esta Stevens

Well she is here and doing great. Maeci was born at 7:38 this morning weighing in at 10 lbs 6 oz and is 22 inches long. She is a little chunk! She is already daddy's little princess! This morning on the way down here I started having contractions and when I got here they hooked me up to monitors and sure enough I was having contractions. So even if I wouldn't of been coming down for the c-section today I would of probably had her this weekend somtime..Crazy how that happened! The morning started of kind of shakey with not being able to get an IV in me. I was poked 3 times and finally they got it in....they sure DO NOT feel the best when you have to get poked that many times. I went into OR around 7:00 am and they gave me my spinal to numb me and I instantly got nausea and really bad pain in my neck and upper back...they gave me some medicine to take care of that so I was feeling pretty good when doc came in to start the surgery. He came in and started at 7:25 and I had her ata 7:38...it went pretty fast!! Once I got back to my room I started the neck and back pain again but it's under control now and I am hardley having any pain at all. I am on a liguid diet right now until I can keep stuff down. Everytime I eat Jello or drink somthing I have been vomitting it back up so I am a little dehydrated. If this continues they will have to put another IV back in to get me some fluids through that. THey took it out a little while ago because it was bothering me so bad when they put the IV and my machine would constantly beep. So I am hoping I can keep all this water down that I have been drinking so I DO NOt have to go through another IV attempt! Well that is about all for now. I posted some pics on facebook so check them out! Oh yeah bare with me as some of this might not sound right or spelling might be a little off, I am still a little doped up from some of the medicine!

Congrats on your new little girl! I saw the pics on FB and she is adorable! Nice and chubby!

Thanks! yes she is a chubby little thing! I knew she was going to be that big. The nurses and everyone says by just looking at her she looks more like a 9 lb baby. We think Camden looked bigger at birth and he was 9 lbs 11 ozs. Her swelling has gone today a little bit! We are all doing good today though!
