still in belly

2:30 pm

...panic level up!

Baby's heart beat went for a dive again, hovering around 60 bpm for about 5 minutes. The nurses started freaking out and called for help while asking where our doctor was. They unplugged Erin's bed and started wheeling her toward the door when Dr Havin showed up. He immediately said, 'what are we doing?' and took charge and tried to calm the situation so he could have a look at Erin.

...panic level down!

They got her readjusted and the heart beat started climbing and everyone settled down. At this point Dr Havin started talking calmly to Erin, explaining that the baby was 'in distress' and that they hoped the heart beat didn't go down again. Before he could finish, though, the heart beat went down again. Havin looked at Erin and told us he was going to make the decision to do a ceasarian.

...panic level back up!

They threw me some scrubs and said to hurry and put them on, and we all wheeled into the operating room together. I held Erin's hand, and

blah blah blah

blah blah blah
