I've not done anything in my life that was so hard but so rewarding at the same time until today. At 12:19 a.m. we were blessed with the birth of our first child a daughter RoseMary Grace Adams weighing 9 lbs. 15 oz. and 20 1/2 in. long. Her head was 14 in. and her chest 14 1/2 in. At birth her Apgar score was 7 but within 5 minutes post birth it was 9. Looks like we have a beautiful, healthy little girl to Thank God for. She has a head full of black hair, long beautiful eyelashes, a thin layer of hair is on her ears, the small of her back, and her legs as well. When we see her eyes they are brown although they may change I highly doubt it because I had a dream and she has her daddy's brown eyes. WP12 that is our room number. Our delivery doctor was Dr. Chwe and we had two sweet nurses Karen and Marie. When it came time to push daddy was such a good coach. We chose to have a birthing mirror but I must admit it did distract me from focusing on my job of pushing. Yes I had an Epidural but No I was not unaware of the fact that a 9 lb. 15 oz. baby was existing my body. At the time of her grand arrival her daddy, of course mommy, Nana, and Mama Jo were in the room. Right outside the door literally were a host of RoseMary "fans" Papa, Aunt Kayla, Aunt Suzanne, Sarah, Bernie, MaryAnn, Randy, MaryFaye, Aunt Sue, Tony, and Ceavlon. RoseMary didn't cry and wasn't breathing at birth after a slight slap on her rear she became VERY alert. Daddy cut the umbilical cord and they laid her on my chest for a brief moment then it was off to cleaning up. My placenta delivered fine and RoseMary was examined carefully. Dr.Chwe was/is such a wonderful doctor he really helped me be more confident that I could do this. We got her out with help from a Episeotemoy and a Vacuum Suction nevertheless all is well. Once everything settled down I snuggled with my baby girl for a long time. We are kept her in room. We are so excited about our new addition. Daddy sleep for awhile and I was successful at getting sweet nurse Karen to allow me to take a shower at 4:30 a.m. I do believe this was the best shower I have ever had. Today we did have some visitors they were; MawMaw, Aunt Lynn, Evelyn, Blake, Bella, Papa, Nana, Aunt Kayla, Mama Jo, Mrs. Tane Hankins, Kathy, Keri, and Lindsey Saxton. What a blessed daughter we have she has so many people who love her. Some people couldn't make it physically but did call to check in they are; Sissy, Emmie, Mrs. Nancy, Uncle Ronny, the McFarlin family, the Presley's, PawPaw Lundy, MawMaw Ann, Rusty, Doris Faye, and PawPaw.
