Thanks everyone. Baby girl seems to be doing well. Good set of lungs on that one. Cory was pitiful...I wish I had it on video but they wouldnt let me. He simply fell apart. I do have to admit it got a bit difficult to watch for someone who didnt know what to expect or know what was going on.
For much of the labor, Mandy would clench up when you told her to breath he he he and ha ha ha. You know, the lamaze breathing stuff. Of course, they didnt go take the classes...sigh. She would get her self more tightened up instead of trying to breath through the contractions. Then when it was time to push...she started to breath! LOL. She wouldnt push hard. Baby ended up basically stuck in the birth canal and Mandy simply couldnt push hard enough to get her out without the vacuum thing they have. Now Im pretty sure that sucker hurts pretty bad having it inserted when a baby is also in there, so Mandy is screaming, the nurses or whomever they were are yelling PUSH PUSH PUSH and Cory is about to pass out crying his eyes out!
Im calmly sitting in my chair out of the way.
The minute the baby comes out and they get her all disconnected Mandy just basically falls back on the bed limp. Cory starts blubbering and hugging walls and medical people are looking like they might need to get medications into him...lol. I finally held him for about 10 minutes until he stopped crying. See he didnt see Keyana born.
The strangest thing though is that neither Mandy or Cory would hold the baby when it was born! When the baby was taken over to get all cleaned up I was with the doctor and nurses watching them and talking to them and getting vitals. Never occurred to me that they wouldnt take the baby right over to mom and dad. Well they tried but both said oh no...she is too new...lmao. They took her back to the bassinet and she was fussing while the nurse was cleaning up the room so I said...can I hold her? And the nurse said sure, she is probably fussing because no one wants to hold her except grandma...lol.
Now...I have another matter I have to post about that is a whole other ball of wax so Im gonna start a new post.
