Evelyns birth story

Well on Monday the 8th of October i went in for my final non stress test before i got induced on the 10th. i was just thinking when i got there that it would be quick maybe id be there for an hour then id go home and pack my bags and get a few things taken care of before i got induced on the 10th. i was totally wrong... my blood pressure was high so my doc came in and said he was inducing me right away. i was surprised. i had an ultrasound the week before measuring the baby and he said she was measuring at 9 lbs so he wanted to get her out. Lacey was with me so i had her text zach to let him know i was having the baby that day. he packed me a couple things while lacey and i sat in the hospital waiting for everything to sink in. my parents were driving to tooele from nebraska to drop off some things for amber and marcus. they had plans of staying up north but since i wasnt going in on the 10th like we originally planned they headed down to cedar as soon as they could.
 
here i am waiting for an iv and for my husband to get to the hospital.
 
after zachary got to the hospital lacey went home and they started me on pitocin. my doctor broke my water and pain started happening.i had all sorts of things going into my iv. i planned on wearing my pump during delivery but last minute decided on an insulin drip. i didnt want my blood sugars going too crazy. i got low a few times so they had some sort of glucose going in my iv for that. i had to wait for my blood sugar to go up before i could get the epidural. the guy was waiting for me to be ready haha i was ready but i had to wait for my blood sugar to go up. finally the epidural was in and pain was gone. i started out at a 2 and got up to a 4 or 5 i wasnt progressing so he decided i needed a csection. i was in labor for a long time but it really didnt feel like it. i felt like time was going by so quickly. i was getting super tired tho. i was sorta releived to get a csection. i think the drugs they put in me for it made me way tired i had my eyes closed the entire time. there are a few things i dont really remember either. i remember them saying she had big shoulders when they pulled her out and they sung happy birthday. zachary was right next to me holding my hand and he got to take pictures of them pulling her out. 
 

 Evelyn Sage Scott
born at 8:41 pm Oct 8 2012
8lbs 20 inches long
she tried going through my tiny pelvis...


 she looks so big in these pictures but by the time i saw her with my glasses on the swelling all went down. i dont remember her looking like this at all.
 

when they brought her over to me she seemed so much further away. i feel like monday went by so fast but the stay after that was so slow. i couldnt wait to go home. evelyn was perfect no problems at all. the last day of our stay they checked her one last time for jaundice her levels were fine the whole stay but the last day they went up so we had to put her on lights we decided to do it all at home.
Evelyn is doing great i couldnt have asked for a better baby. she rarely cries and she would sleep through the night if i didnt wake her up to eat. she is so good.
zach and i love having her and we are so excited for this new chapter in our lives

Almost there

 
im 35 weeks pregnant and doing pretty great. i have to do non stress tests 2 times a week. the baby always looks really good on the monitor. they say im contracting but they checked me and im only at a 1 and im not changing so everything looks good. the baby seems to be growing just right she is 5lbs 11 ounces at this point. not too big thankfully. my blood sugars have been a little higher the past couple months but i try to stay on top of that. i am constantly having to change the amount of insulin i take and its getting more annoying the closer i get to having this baby. im really ready to be done :)

33 weeks pregnant... im so ready to be done. i feel the baby all the time she is always kicking. last night i felt some contractions while i was grocery shopping. it was very uncomfortable. im glad zachary was there he finished while i sat in the car. i finally found stretch marks haha. my belly is super itchy. im getting close yay! 
 
i have to start doing non stress tests twice a week til i deliver now. it is so boring but it makes me tired sitting there listening to the heartbeat. i also have to get my fluid checked  before i get strapped in so i guess i get lots of ultrasounds in the next few weeks too.
the ultrasound tech says she has hair enough at least to see in the ultrasound i guess haha. babys foot is up next to her mouth so it looks like she is eating her big toe.

Happy 4th of July. Happy Anniversary to us! and baby is 24 weeks.

 Zach and I had alot of fun on the 4th. we went fishing all day with one of Zachs army buddies and his wife. we never really take pictures ever so im just glad we have these. i ended up getting a sunburn on my face. it was actually pretty cold all morning and afternoon til about 4 or 5 pm just before we went home so i had a jacket on the entire time. my arms are still white. on our way home it started to sprinkle a little bit. we so need the rain. we didnt end up doing any firework stuff we were tired and went to bed. the sun really takes the life outta ya.


 Of course the fourth of july is our wedding anniversary so we tried to get a quick picture of us together. Happy 3 year Anniversary Zachary!
And last of all i was 24 weeks pregnant on the 4th so here is a pic i took after fishing. Baby Ev is super active especially around 11 pm. we are getting so excited for her to come.

We are having a Girl! (Evelyn Sage Scott)

 My appointment was around 11am today. they checked the heart the fluid the brain the spine a little bit of everything. They said everything looks good so far. I get to go in one more time to double check everything in about a month. The doctor was pretty funny. He said i am under the average size of a normal person and Zachary is over average. he told me maybe i should have breeded with a smaller guy. lol. he said he doesnt know what size the baby would be because im so small and zach is so big so i should hope not to have a 9 pounder or above. He said to definatly try to keep my blood sugars down in the last trimester or i just might have a huge baby.
this is a picture of the legs facing left. and there is nothing between the legs so its definatly a girl.


here is what they recorded. they measured alot of the stuff before they started recording and you really cant tell what they are showing but basically she is showing me the legs and feet then the bladder and kidneys it shows the top of the  head at the begining and you can see the ears. then at the end she showed me the babys face heart and tummy.

i made a poll

on the right you can guess what you think the baby might be. i know there really arent alot of people on here who will even do this but its still fun if you want to take a guess

18 weeks

im 18 weeks now and next week i go down to st george for an ultrasound that checks for anything that may be wrong with the baby because of diabetes. during that apt we should be able to find out the gender of the baby. im sorta nervous about this apt but im really excited to finally find out what we are having. i hope the baby cooporates :)

well its been awhile...

I guess lots has happened since i last posted anything on here... im only going to talk about a little. mostly just the things that are most recent.

a couple weeks ago Zacharys cheif killed himself so Zach had a couple of days to make sure he had all his ribbons and pins and medals on his dress blues for SSG Hunts funeral. the picture below was the best i could get outa Zachary before we headed to the memorial service. Zachary really loved his cheif and this was a hard thing for him to deal with. After the memorial service we headed up to camp williams the next day for his burial.
He has his first drill this weekend since before his deployment. and he also has a PT test. He is a little nervous about the PT test. He says he hasnt really worked out since he was in iraq. so i guess we will see how he does.

Im 17 weeks pregnant today. lots has happened with my diabetes since ive become pregnant. a couple months ago my old pump broke so i was doing shots for a few days then my doctor let me borrow one they had while i waited for my new one to come in. i was in the process of getting a new one before my old one broke. they wanted to put me on a pump that has a continuous gluclose monitor because ive been getting extremly low. the continuious gluclose monitor is another thing i keep in me for about 3 days that is constantly checking my blood sugar levels so if im going too low it sends the number to my pump and my pump beeps at me til i fix it. its super annoying but it has helped alot. i still have to check my blood because the blood that the sensor checks isnt as accurate as my finger. so the numbers are always different but it is close enough so that i know i need to check my blood to make sure im ok.
Despite all my crazy lows the baby seems to be doing fine. i have an OB apt. tomorrow and at the end of the month i get a special ultrasound to totally check the baby out for anything that might be wrong. during that apt. i get to find out the gender, if the baby is being good lol. i dont really feel the baby yet. my belly feels tighter and tighter everyday. i feel really tired during the day now. the only thing i really ever crave are roast beef sandwiches and thanksgiving dinner. i can not stand toaster stroodles... i used to love them :(   i send my mom a weekly picture of me so she can see how my belly is growing. ill try to do the same on here even though the pictures are less than cute hahhah
