D-Day & time in the hospital

November 29, 2011 Babies Birthday.
 We went to MUSC hospital in downtown at around 9am to check in for my scheduled c-section. Got in the room around 10am was supposed to start surgery at 11am but the nurse was more concerned with getting me hooked up to monitor the babies then starting all the meds I was supposed to get she also messed up other stuff I don't think the Dr's carried for her much either. It took forever to get in OR and I was starving. Not sure what time we got in the OR but it was freezing in there I got my spinal and hubby got to come in and they got started.

They went around the room and said who everyone was and why they were there. No joke there were 4 anthologist, 3 or more nurses, the dr and several residents I think there were at least 10 people in the OR and then each baby had a team of 3 people waiting for them in the next OR and the triage room between the OR's so all in all I think there were over 20 people there for my delivery.
At 12:11pm they pulled out Baby A little E she weighed in at 4lbs 5oz and I think 17in long they held her up said it is a girl and off she went I can't even remember if she cried I was to busy trying not to puke. At 12:12pm out came Baby B our big girl A she weighed in at 5lbs 2oz and 18in long they told us girl again, no idea if cried. Last out at 12:13pm was baby C the little man M was 4llbs 11oz and 17 1/2in  when they pulled him out they said girl R and I both looked at each other and said WHAT???? They then corrected and said "oh wait boy boy sorry" lol.

E had to go to the level 2 nursery just because of her size she was to small to go anywhere else they showed her to me and took her away. A got to come see me and she went right to the level 1 nursery cause she was and healthy. When I was on the table at this point being put back together I heard the Dr telling someone "no no you have to put it back in the way it came out" I was a little scared that I was going to be put back together wrong lol thankfully it appears I was put back together right. R was with the babies during all this and once I was taken to recovery he came in I asked why I had no seen M yet and he told me he was having some  trouble breathing and was being taken to the NICU. They wheeled him in the recovery room so I could see him before he went upstairs to the children's hospital. I had to stay on IVs for 12 hours I was taken to the postpartum unit and told to eat but I felt to sick from the meds and ended up getting sick and then just sleeping.

 They brought A to my room to see me and she nursed well and was helping me to get my milk in she had to wait till I saw her sister to get names. Around midnight I was able to get out of bed shower and then head to see E and M. As soon as I saw E I knew who was who and went ahead and named them. E had some issues with her blood sugar so she was on an IV which was in her head and heartbreaking to see. I got to cuddle her and get information about what was going on with her, we stopped in next door real quick  to see her sister and tell her what her name was. Then we went upstairs to see M if E having the IV was heartbreaking M ripped my heart out he had an IV in his head and a CPAP in his nose and he was so tiny and we were not allowed to hold him every time we touched him his heart rate would drop so we could not even touch him.
Two days after he was born M was moved down to the level 2 nursery with E they were in the same little unit it was great. I was pumping every 3 hours day and night for them to try and get my milk to come in for them. A was able to nurse and on day 4 her and I were discharged to go home. There is nothing harder then leaving the hospital after giving birth with out your child I was going to have to leave 2 there but was lucky enough to take 1 home with me.

M is a fiesty little boy he decided he did not want his IV any more on day 3 and tired to pull it out  he did pull out his tube for feedings and when he was in NICU he pulled out his CPAP. He pulled his feeding tube again on day 8 and they never put it back and he was home with us on the 10th day of his life which happened to be the day before his big brothers bday party.

E was a little slower on the whole coming home thing she would not take her feeds she did not care she would take like 1-2cc and be done and the rest of her feeds still had to be done by tube she had no other issues at this point aside from learning to eat. She was all set to go home on day 15 of life she was supposed to be on O2 for feeds it helped to keep her awake long enough to finish her feed. We went to N christmas show at school and came home to change and feed A&M before going down to pick up E when I got the call she would not be able to come home after all she had a Bradycardia and would have to stay for 3 extra days to make sure she was OK. So we waited and finally on day 18 we got to bring her home she still had to be on the O2 for feeds but that was it. We finally had all our kids together and then the fun really started.
