I love telling people about my kids, so here is the story of how Daisy was brought into this world. On April 1st, my water broke at 3:40am and so we headed to the hospital. I had a scheduled c-section at Mercy Gilbert on May 8th, so we went to that hospital. I was taken back to triage and examined and given meds to stop contractions and given a steriod shot in my butt to help the baby's lungs develop. It was determined that I would be transported to Chandler Regional because I was only 33 weeks and six days and Mercy was only prepared to handle baby's that were 34 weeks. So I was transported to Chandler via ambulance and was placed in a nice big room. I was told that the baby had about 95% chance of living if born at 34 weeks so the doctors decided to keep me pregnant until I was 34 weeks which was just two days away. I was given another steriod shot in my butt and wasn't allowed to get out of bed unless I had to use the restroom. I did talk the nurses into letting me take a shower but I couldn't be on my feet for more that 20 minutes. OnTuesday I was 34 weeks and given the decision to either have the baby via c-section or wait to go into full blown labor and try a v-back.(I had c-section with Slade) So, I really wanted to try v-back but the doctor said it could take a week or two to be in full blown labor so Skylar and I decided to just have her that day. She was born at 1:57pm on Tuesday April 3rd. She weighed in at 4 lbs 14 oz and 18 1/2 inches long. She came out crying and didn't have any problems with breathing at all! She wasn't able to maintain her body temperature and blood sugar was low. She was in the 'special care' until for a couple of days and then allowed to be in my room. On Friday the doctor came in and told me that if she gained weight by Saturday morning, we could take her home. At this point she weighed 4 lbs 5oz, so I kept her in my room all night and woke her up every two hours to feed her. In the morning she was weighed and she had gained 3 oz! So we took her home with us! During the whole pregnancy I had been trying to come up with a name that Skylar and I both liked but we didn't have one until right before she was born. We had a student nurse named Daija so I suggested to Skylar Daisy. He had been writing some names down before I said Daisy and he handed me his paper with names and he had written down Daisy. So we named her Daisy Lynn Stock. She has been a tremendous blessing to our family.
