Oct. 30, 2009 At 1:37 PM we heard the music play that meant a baby was born and we knew it was out Lily Renee!!! Everyone was so excited to hear the music. We could hardly wait to see how Jamie was and to go check on Lily. The nurse came to the waiting room around 2:00 PM to tell us that Jamie and Lily made it through surgery okay and brought us the camera with the first pictures of Jamie and Lily together. They were so beautiful my heart just melted and I was so relieved that Jamie was doing okay. Joshua was beaming, he was so happy to hear the news. He wanted to rush back to see Jamie right away and make sure she was okay. I know he was worried to death about her and I know he was relieved to see that she was okay.
We passed around the camera for everyone to see Lily for the first time. We could see Jamie reaching out to her little crib after her delivery. Such a touching picture to see. Lily's Great Grandparents cried at the sight of her picture. What a joy to behold!
I called Dan to congratulate him on being an uncle. We hadn't told him what was going on until then. He asked if Jamie was okay then asked about Lily. He was happy that Jamie was doing well and happy to be an uncle. He was sad that he couldn't be there to see them. But we are making plans for him to visit early next year. While I was talking to him, Josh came up and asked if I wanted to go see Lily with him. What a silly question!!! I said goodbye to Dan and got ready to head up. The nurse told me to get my camera but I already had that in hand. So off we headed to the nursery to see our precious little Lily. I was so honored and thrilled that Josh picked me to go see Lily with him.
I'll never forget when he first saw her. He said "She has toenails!" It was so cute and funny at the same time. What a thing to focus on yet so amazing that she did. The nurse and I took pictures of him as he met his daughter for the first time. You could tell he was in awe and loving every minute of seeing her but amazed and nervous at how small she was.
The doctor said she was stable and her blood levels were good. Her oxygen was about 95% and her blood pressure was 67/37 which is good for her. Her heart rate was 154 and her breaths per minute were 67. Also good numbers.
I was so amazed by every little bit of her that I had to take pictures of everything. Her body, her head her hands, her ears, even her little feet. She is just so beautiful it was hard to stop.
We finally had to leave which was okay because we went to visit Jamie and see again that she was doing okay. Her breathing got much better and her oxygen levels improved. She was still on oxygen but not the fighter pilot mask any more. She still had some fluids in her lungs and her blood pressure was still up so the kept her on the blood pressure medicine. They were also giving her medicine for the pain so I think she was out of it just a bit.
All in all it was a crazy, stressful, emotionally draining yet exciting day for the family. My daughter survived a life threatening situation and I became a Grandmother to the most beautiful baby girl (next to my daughter) you have ever seen.
We went home that evening leaving Jamie in good hands with Joshua watching over her.
