Kyleigh Morgan Caruso was born on June 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs and 10 ozs and 20 1/4 inches long.
On June 11th I was placed on bedrest due to high blood pressure. When I found out that I was on bedrest, I thought I was going to be bored to death. My friend Michelle from Raleigh had duty first to keep me from getting bored, then Mike's mom came down and stayed for a week. The next week, it was Claudette's turn. In addition to helping me, she was keeping Kennedy and Ragan. Well 2 days into her visit, she took me to the doctor with Kennedy and Ragan in tow. We went to the doctor that Tuesday, June 22nd because I was having to have NST's 2 time per a week. That day the baby was hardly moving, however it wasn't a huge concern to the doctor so he sent me on home. After the doctor, we went and had a nice lunch at Showmars and they took me back home and stayed til about 5p. Right before they left I started to feel bad, bad enough that I sat on the stairs when I was walking them out, so I drank some water and decided to go to bed and take a nap. I woke up 2 times during my nap to go to the restroom. The 2nd time, it felt like I started going to the bathroom in my pants. I quickly got back up and started to the bathroom, and thought I should grab my phone because I had a feeling my water had just broken. I called Mike at work and told him that my water had just broken. He said "ok, I am leaving the store now". I called Claudette to tell her my water just broke and she said, "ok, I am on my way to pick you up." So, I called Mike back and told him to just meet us at the hospital that Claudette was coming to pick me up. While waiting for Claudette, the 10 mins seemed like 30 mins, I grabbed the rest of the stuff for the hospital, grabbed Mike a change of clothes because I knew he wouldn't want to hang out in his Sprint clothes, and I fed Murphy. Yep, that's right, I fed Murphy, I also gave him his insulin shot because I didn't know when someone would be able to feed him or when he would get his next shot. Then I proceeded to call the doctors office of which they put me on hold because the nurse wanted to talk to the doctor. We ended up going ahead and heading towards the hospital, calling people on the way and telling Claudette how to get back to the hospital. Mike's mom had to turn around and fly back down, my dad wrapped up his work and went home and grabbed some clothes so he could come down, it was chaos but a happy chaos because we were ready to meet the baby.
After 19 hours of labor and getting to the point of where I was 9 cm dialated and 100% effaced, the doctor came in to prepare to deliver, but I had digressed and my cervix had swelled so they were going to have to do a c-section. They prepared me for surgery, Mike went to tell the parents what was going on, and then he came back to get prepared to be with me. After what seemed like only a short time to me, but it was apparently about an 1 hr or so, 143pm on June 23 to be exact, they told me it was a girl! I was so excited, and asked Mike if he was disappointed because I think deep down he really wanted a boy! But he couldn't have been any more pleased and happy that it was a girl, and he got to deliver the news to our parents.
