Today as a whole

So today was a much better day....work is now working with me (finally). I'm glad to see that some people still care. I don't have much to say tonight other than work is good and they want me to feel secure lol.

Crazy Life

Ok so this is going to be a different blog....

 Sorry it's been awhile since my last blog...omg that sounds a bit like a confession(well maybe it is). I work for a major corporation, who shall not be named ( Lowe's lol) and my year anniversary was July 22. Working there had been okay until about 4 weeks ago when we received a new HR manager and store manager. My work-life turned upside down....I have no idea what going on there anymore, so many changes, people being fired, people changing positions, and strict rules are being enforced at costly levels. I never thought I'd be saying this but man I hate my job right now. I would love to stay at home with my boys but I'm afraid that it would be irresponsible and could hurt us financially.  What i wouldn't give right now to win the lottery! But alas money will always be an issue for me at least (seems that way). So I've been thinking about this alot and not sure what to do....my brain screams leave then it says stay, so confusing. Well hopefully I can sleep now...I'm gonna try. Eh at any rate tomorrow is a new day with new opportunities. I'm out...    
   

Day one (Continued)

   We were told minutes later that the doc thought he had a rare skin disorder called Ichthyosis. Justin was born with a colloidal membrane covering his whole body which was cracking and peeling. He was taken by ambulance to Hershey Penn State Childrens Hospital where he stayed 4 days in the NICU. Which was a very scary situation to go thru. I never thought I'd ever see the inside of the NICU. Has anyone ever thought they would have a sick child, sick enough to grant them a visit to NICU?  The reason he was moved was because the docs were afraid of infection getting into his body thru those open wounds. So, Justin was kept in an incubator (seen above). The first time I ever got to touch his skin was through a rubber glove and I had to have a gown on at all times when opening the incubator doors. The first time I seen him in this...I cried.

Day one (Continued)

   So we are at the hospital and they just gave me a drug to help induce my labor. Hours go by, my labor is progressing rapidly now. Around 6 pm I start pushing, Justin's shoulders get stuck so I have about 5 nurses on top of me pushing on my belly while the midwife (Sarah) is pulling on his head. That lasted for what seemed like forever but was really only an minute. Finally, our new baby boy entered the world.


    Then we heard the dreaded words that no parent ever wants to hear....There is something wrong with your baby. Automatically I try to see him and scan every inch of him but I could not see him. I'm stuck on the birthing bed getting sewn up when the nurse finally hands him to me. I nurse him for 6 mins exactly before he's taken away to a different room so they can evaluate him. I had no clue as to what was going on...I was still thinking about his shoulders being stuck minutes before. Justin and I had no immediate bonding, I was not allowed to hold my newborn baby.


    To be continued....


      

Day one

   It was the morning of September 25th 2010, I'm 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant with our second child. Labor had started that morning and I remember being very excited, I couldn't wait to meet our new baby boy. Before I go on, let me introduce myself and our family. I'm Sarah a wife and mother. My husband is Kenny and we have two boys, Gabriel and Justin. There now you know a little bit about us.


   Back to Sept. 25th, 2010, labor had started and my water had broke. We were on our way to the hospital and my labor has stopped. I should have known then that something was different with Justin. By now we are at the hospital and they are admitting me and putting us in a room. Sarah was my midwife and she was awesome. She started Oxytocin to induce my labor since it had stopped.
