August 31st, 2007

August 31st, 2007 was kind of memorable to but not really cause nobody didn’t really know that I was pregnant again. Well one person did and that person is my daughter’s dad.
That night she had broke my water bag at home. It happened just after one o’clock. Right after that happened my contractions started to come. They weren’t as painful as much as they were before she came out, but they were five minutes apart though. While I was still at home to make sure they stayed at five minutes apart I had called her dad to tell him that I’m going to the clinic. We talked for a while, while were talking he asked if I was going to keep I told him no I’m raising my boy by myself with out his dad’s help. So I think I might as well ask my auntie to take her. He really didn’t want me to go the clinic because he knew that I would have to tell my mom who the dad is. But I told him that I was going to call the P.D and see who is on call. He said okay than but I really don’t want you too though, I told him to bad I’m not going to listen to you, I listened to this winter without going to the clinic. So I’m going to call downstairs and ask who is on call I can’t stand the pain anymore. Hi Ella this is Sunshine my contractions are five minutes apart. Right around this time is my due date. Okay well you need to get to the clinic then. Okay I will be over. Mom I need to go to the clinic. What for? I’m in labor my contractions are five minutes apart and the baby broke my water bag. Why didn’t you say anything to me along time ago? I don’t know. I’m going to the clinic now. I can walk; okay I will bring baby over to grams and be over as soon as possible. Are you going to keep it? No, whom are you going to give it to? I want to ask auntie since she can’t have her own. Well you need to ask her. Can you go call her and ask her to come here? There’s no answer. Oh!
Dr. Livermont and a couple of paramedics came. They stayed here for a while until Dr. Livermont thought that we should just get going, it’s only 55 minutes from the hospital to the hospital in Nome. So they started getting stuff ready and my mom went to go and call my auntie so she can go over to the clinic. She also called my gram to tell her that I’m being medivaced. When my auntie got there she said why didn’t I say anything? I just lay there being quiet and started to crying. Then Louisa asked her if she would want to keep the baby, there I didn’t have time to tell if its only a boy. If it’s a girl I’m going to keep her. But I couldn’t Louisa had already said that and I didn’t want to hurt my auntie, so I just kept it like that. Louisa asked who I wanted to follow me. I told her my mom and auntie. Then auntie said that she can’t go she’s got to work and there is nobody to work for her so that’s where I started crying some more. But she told me that she would see if she could be on the morning flight out if not than the afternoon flight. But she didn’t go because Henry said that yeah we could keep her. That’s when she had changed her mind and said that she is going to clean and child proof her house. When I got to Nome I had wait another 3 hours for my daughter to be born. But I didn’t know that I was going to have a girl.
About half an hour before I had her they were telling me that I couldn’t push even though it felt like I had to push. I told him that I had to use the bathroom and they would not let me use the bathroom. So when Dr. Liu went into the room I asked her if I could use the bathroom. She said no! I told her that I have to use the bathroom I don’t like holding it in. she said you might end up pushing the baby out. I told her that no I won’t but I need to use the bathroom. Right after I said that I told her that I hate you. I said well get out of my room now. She actually listened, she also said you can hate me all you want and walked out the door. That’s when my contractions started to come every two minutes and seemed like they would last forever. I kept telling that nurse that I need to push but she said that I can’t and I was getting mad because of what she kept saying. She also told me that I need to relax when I’m not having any kind of contractions.
But I didn’t I just kept on complaining until she got some kind of relaxation for me. While she was giving it to me, she looked at the monitor. When she looked back she told the other nurse that was writing something in my chart that there is the head. The other nurse didn’t believe her so she had to look for herself. When she saw the head she ran to the door and hollered for Dr. Schofield and told him head. That’s when everyone started to get busy and it got loud. The nurse that was writing in my chart she came by me and encouraged me to wait until Dr. Schofield is ready. I told her I can’t another contraction is coming. She just kept talking and told me that he is almost ready. A minute later the baby came out.
Usually the Dr’s always check to see where they are cutting the umbilical cord, but Dr. Schofield didn’t look to see where he was cutting the umbilical cord. He just cut it and brought her over to the table, so that he can work on her because she only made one little noise. Didn’t make anymore after that. She didn’t make anymore after that because of the relaxation medicine had gone through her system. While he was still working on her, I asked Jackie the paramedic that walked in just before I started to push. I asked her what kind of gender is the baby? She looked and said another boy, than she looked again and no I take that back a baby girl. I looked at my mom and she was crying. After he worked on her shouldn’t stop crying, because she was hungry but they had to take her vital signs and check how much she weighs. When they weighed her, she was 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 in half inches long. While I was in the hospital I called her dad after I got the calling card # from my mom and like used up all the minutes. When I got the calling # I had to call him at work first to see when he will go home so that I can call him at home instead of calling him at his grandma’s house. He said after 9 so I told him that I would call him after Christy leaves here. But now she is like 9 lbs and 21 in half inches long. She is getting heavy very fast.
