Thor Fuali'i Matina Pili II

Thor II is my honeymoon baby. Literally. TMI maybe. Lol. I was married April 18, 2009 and I had my beautiful baby boy on January 4, 2010. Originally, my due date was February 12, 2010. I went in for my regular checkup on Monday, January 4th, looking all jacked up thinking I would return home right after my appointment. The week before my appointment I felt horrible. I was all swollen and just ridiculously uncomfortable. So my doctor checks my blood pressure and it's high. We go through my 34 week check up and he checks it again, still high. So he sends me over the Labor & Delivery. I'm freaking out, and start asking questions. I ask him if I'm going to have the baby today. I remember he very casually says to me "No, maybe tomorrow..." I'm still freaking out because I'm not expecting to have a baby for at least another month. I wasn't ready to have a baby! Lol. Well I go to Labor & Delivery and they monitor my blood pressure for a few hours. Of course the dang thing never goes down. I take some blood tests and the results come back positive for toxemia. The nurse comes in at 11am (my appointment was at 9am, my first mistake. Lol.) and tells me ok call who you need to the doctor says we have to C-Section in an hour. At this point since I had been sick for over a week the doctor felt it was neccessary to get the baby out right away. So they prep me for surgery, which is the scariest thing ever. I call my mom and like I knew she would, she goes crazy. Haha. She comes to the hospital and just adds all kinds of stress to the situation. I try to keep calm but my mom and my husband are freaking out that it makes it really hard for me to do so. I get my epidural and it starts... Baby came and he had some respiratory problems due to being a premie, so they had to take him to NICU right away. He almost had to be transferred to Primary Childrens' Hospital but he started breathing on his own so we were ok to keep him at Orem Community Hospital. He was in NICU for a week and a half and we were able to bring him home. Thank goodness for family. Of course my house was a MESS when I left that morning for my appointment so my husbands amazing aunts came over and cleaned my whole apartment before we brought my precious baby home. And that is how the headache which I love soo much came about...
