Celeste Emma Mikesell was born Monday, April 28, 2008 at 4:20 pm. She is 6 pounds 13 ounces and 20 inches long. Everyone is doing fabulous! We got to come home on Tuesday at about 5:00 pm. I never got around to posting this, but the last week of my pregnancy I had high blood pressure they were worried about. I also had some other signs of toxemia so Friday they checked my blood and it came back fine. They just wanted to keep a close eye on me so I had to go to the hospital OB on Sunday for what we thought was going to be a short blood pressure check. It was still high and he didn't want to take the risk of it turning into toxemia so he decided to induce before it got really bad. They decided to induce Monday morning but wouldn't let me go home Sunday night. So there I slept (actually I didn't sleep at all) and Monday morning at 6:00 am they started me. They broke my water at about 8:45, I got an epidural at 10:30, took a couple hour nap and delivered at 4:20. Everyone was doing great so we were fortunate to be able to come home today, Tuesday, at 5:00 pm. Ryan and I are so happy and feel so blessed. She is precious and we love her to pieces!
I look aweful, but I really did feel pretty good!
