On October 24,2012 @ 9:13am at St. Johns owasso hospital. My youngest child became a mother to Aleah Rena Bunch.She came 3wks early.
Here is how it went:
Calli, my daughter who is now 20, graduated from Community care college as a Medical assistant. I was so proud to see her wobble across the stage but I also knew she was in alot of pain. She had been inconsistant contractions and already hospitalized for preterm labor prior.After we got home that night she said she needed to go out to her exboyfriends house and give his sister some scrubs because she, his sister was starting a new job and needed them. Calli called me on the way back crying and saying something doesn't feel right. I told her to stop crying long enough to get home. Well, as I laid my head down on the pillow, she came home and was saying again, "there is something not right, I am hurting, and tired of being pregnant, this baby needs to just get here". Well, then she went to the bathroom and yelled,"Mom!" I knew before I saw that her water had broken. I went back and forth between excited and freaked out as we took her to the hospital. It is amazing the way these sort of things go by in slow motion. I watched Calli labor for several hours and then the decision was made to give her an epidural, not because of her complaints of pain, but because she was not relaxing and there was no cervical change. Well, she got the epidural then the pitocin to get her labor really going. Then a few hours later the decision was made because Aleah's heartrate was decreasing with each contraction for Calli to get a C section. Exhausted, overwhelmed and anxious was the feeling that everyone included was feeling.But, we were all ready to see little Aleah's precious face.
I was allowed with Kyle (Aleahs daddy) to be in on the C section. OMG I was nervous. As I walked into the room, the first thing I noticed was the smell. It smell....clean and cold if cold can be smelled. I got on one side of Calli's head and Kyle got on the other. Within 10 minutes of tugging, pulling and my little girl crying because it was so uncomfortable for her because of the trouble they were having in getting the baby out, the doctor holds up this bloody, purple, cute little baby girl and says, "look at your granddaughter grandma." OMG the feeling of seeing her for the first time was almost more overwhelming than when I had my kids. The feeling of love for her and my little baby girl that was now a mother was almost more than I could handle. I never thought that I could love so much but apparently I could, cause I did, I do. I love my daughter more now than ever. I love little Aleah so much. Being a grandma or "GiGi" as I am choosing to be called is going to be such a wonderful journey. I thank God so much for allowing me to do this.
