Olivia Ann Barnett






Monday September 19, 2011 4:33 PM we were blessed with a precious little angel. Her name is Olivia Ann Barnett. Chelsea was induced at 1:50 PM by breaking her water, no pitocin was used. After about 20 minutes contractions started. After about 2 hours Chelsea began pushing at 4:30 PM. Chelsea was awesome when it came time to push and it only took 3 rounds of pushing to get Olivia into this world.

Olivia wasn't breathing quite like the nurses and Doctors would have liked her to so they took her up to the NICU to put her on a CPAP machine to help her get going a little better. They also put a feeding tube in to get her a little nourishment and an I.V. in her hand to get some glucose into her system as her blood sugar was a little low. After about an hour on the machine the took her off and she did great on her own. So we took her down to the nursery to get bathed and dressed.

Currently her and Chelsea are doing well and resting. Olivia's blood sugar is a little low but nothing that a good feeding or two won't help with. We are so glad that she is here with us finally and that Chelsea is now going to return to normal after 9 months of not being able to eat normally, having migraines, and having her heart race at 200 beats per minute for no reason whatsoever.
