Arynn Reyce Thomas- Her story. We found out that we were pregnant with Arynn the night of Jennifer and Ryan Palm's baby shower. It was a VERY big surprise for all of us. We took at least 3 pregnancy test to confirm it was true. Stephanie and James Burden were the first to know because they were at the house when I took all 3 test. Then the McGovern's were the 2nd because we were all going to the shower together. I told JP at the shower (still in complete shock).
Arynn was a stinker from the beginning. First, the surprise of being in there. Second, she never let me sleep. Third, she would not turn head down. I was up all night long from June-Sept 4th. When I say all night, I really mean all night. Arynn would move and turn and kick all night long and sleep really well in the morning. Breech baby... We went in for an Ultrasound on August 19th and Arynn was breech. I FREAKED out and was crying and Madison then started crying it was a scary thought. I think it was the thought of the unknown more than anything else. I was worried about having a C-Section and recovery and being in the hospital. So on Sept. 4th, we went in to North Austin Medical Center for a procedure to physical turn Arynn. They gave me a spinal block and off to the OR we went. It was a HORRIBLE experience. The pressure and just the physical movement was just not good. Dr. Cowan is amazing and tried so hard to turn Arynn, but she was NOT moving. Arynn's heart rate went bonkers. Right after the procedure her heart rate was in the 80's - Cowan expected and prepared us for that. The problem was in the recovery room. When I was in recovery, I started contracting and after each contraction Arynns heart rate dropped a lot. She was racing at 180 and it would dip down to like 120-130. Because of the stress on Arynn and the unknown of sending me home. I was rushed back for an emergency C-Section. Arynn was born on 9/4/09 at 3:40. She weighed 6lbs 7oz and 18 1/2 inches long.
Arynn's first visitors were The Palms. JP and Ryan brought Madison and Jayden to the hospital. Madison and Jayden stayed at the hospital the entire time we were there. Other visitors... Burdens, McGoverns, Keyes, Smith, Sherwoods, Fayes, and Listers. We have such wonderful friends.
When we left the hospital on 9/6 Arynn weighed 6lbs 2.5oz. On Tuesday 9/8, Arynn met Dr. Eady and at that appt she was at 6lbs 12 oz and looked GREAT!! On 9/21, Arynn had another appt and weighed in at 7lbs 12 oz.
Arynn is growing so fast already. Her sisters LOVE her soo much. Still not getting much sleep, but what a joy this kiddo brings to all of our lives.
