Special Delivery...

 

Soon after arriving to the Delivery Suit Wisdom's contractions were 7 minutes apart, she was also 75% effaced, and 4 centemeters dilated.  "Wisdom I'm so proud of you. I can't believe my youngest daughter is about to have a daughter of her own." Wisdom looked up at her mom, "Mom I'm so excited, just wish Lonnie would let his friends move the stuff and he come down here. I just hate thinking he might miss the birth of his first child."

Wisdom's contractions were beginning to get stronger and stronger. Helping her to relax her Aunt Ashby played guitar and Adabelle was managing the phone for when Wisdom's dad, uncle, other friends, and Lonnie wanted updates. Lonnie's car broke down while moving the baby stuff so he was having issues getting to the Delivery Suit but Adabelle did her best to keep him up to date as much as possible.

While Wisdom walked around she would often stop an lean on things to help her breath through contractions. "Wisdom your doing a fabulous job. I'm so proud of you." Hearing these encouraging words helped Wisdom breath more than focus on the pain of delivery.

 

In between contractions Wisdom was often found goofing around with her dear friend. Adabelle wanted to take one last side shot picture of Wisdoms baby bump. It was hard for her to think about her best friend becoming a mom since her and Cole recently found out they are also expecting. Their baby is due at the end of December beginning of January.

Wisdom walked until the contractions were to much for her. She was fully effaced and 8 centimeters dilated.  "This has progressed much faster than I had anticipated," stated the mid wife while she put her gloves on.  Before Wisdom could get into bed she experienced a feeling of peeing herself only to have it announced as, "Her water has now broke this baby is coming SOON!"

With her water breaking the contractions were much stronger and coming every 2 minutes giving her about a minute to relax between. She was doing a great job controlling the pain until her mid wife checked the babies heart beat. "The babies heart beat has dropped. She is most likely laying on the cord. Wisdom get on all fours so we can try to get the baby to move.

Wisdom began to panic, "My baby... is she ok? Oh dear God WHERE IS LONNIE... I need him." Wisdom proceeded to get on her hands and knees swaying her hips back and forth while she had contractions trying to get the baby to move off her cord. "Where the hell is Lonnie, get him here NOW," Violet told A.J. on the phone when he was on his way to see his grand daughter. A.J. responded quickly to his wife and said he would find him and make sure he gets to see his daughter even if she's already born.

 

The babies heart beat was back to normal but the mid wife didn't want to risk the babies heart beat dropping again, "Wisdom you are going to have to deliver your daughter soon ok? Here we go and push 1, 2, 3,..." She counted while Wisdom pushed. Violet handed the phone to Adabelle. "Yes Uncle A.J. she's pushing right now!"

"And 10, great job Wisdom the babies head is beginning to crown. You could have her in 2 more pushes... ready 1, 2, 3," The mid wife continued as Wisdom took a deep breath and begin to push again. "9, and 10, ok Wisdom her head is out I just need to suction her  nose, and mouth. Ashby, hand me the pink blanket please."

(there is no way to describe the excitement that Violet and Ashby expressed)

Right after the baby was born the mid wife swaddled her, and handed her right to Wisdom. "Here you go mama!"

Wisdom was still slightly out of it after delivering her daughter but was happy to have her mom, aunt, and best friend there to witness the birth of her daughter. "Wisdom what's her name?" asked Adabelle. Wisdom smiled and looked down at her little bundle of joy, "Her name is Skyler, I named her after my brother who died."  Wisdom then fed Skyler.

Wisdom held Skyler for awhile after feeding her but was getting tired. Violet leaned down and picked up her grand daughter, "Wisdom dear... I want you to rest and when you wake up you can give your daughter all your love as well as a full energy bar." Wisdom smiled and slowly drifted to sleep.

"Aren't you just the cutest!" Violet cooed over her newest grand daughter.

Soon it was Ashby's turn to hold Skyler. "OH man its so hard to tell who she looks like right now. She's just as sweet as can be don't you think Vi... Vi? Ashby turned to see Violet had also fallen asleep. "Oh Skyler your grandma and mom are amazing women. You are one lucky little girl."

 

Finally off the phone Adabelle got her baby fix while holding Skyler, "Skyler, you know what... Your going to have a little playmate soon. Your mommy and grew up together and now your going to grow up with my baby. I'm sure your 2nd or 3rd or some kind of cousin to my baby. I love you Skyler!" Adabelle leaned down and kissed Skyler. She then turned to see Wisdom. "Mom help me out," Adabelle said walking over to Wisdom.

Ashby lifted Wisdom's arm and Adabelle slipped Skyler under. "There... mommy and baby together just like they are meant to be," Adabelle said stepping back. Ashby and Adablle headed out to get some sleep while the mid wife looked over Wisdom and the baby making sure that they both stay comfortable. Violet was still sleeping on the couch!

Wisdom woke up and just stared at her daughter. The pain, stress, and anticipation of the unknown was gone. The only thing left was the comfort in knowing her daughter was healthy and 100% perfect. "So good to see you up Wisdom. Skyler just finished a bottle not to long ago. You are doing great and so is baby. Congratulations!" Wisdom stood up and hugged her mid wife, "Thank you for everything. I'm so happy that you delivered Skyler." Wisdom went over to Skyler, "Hi baby girl." She said while picking her up.

"I can't image why people don't believe in love at first sight," Wisdom rocked Skyler as she walked around the room. Skyler was alert and even smiled a few times. Wisdom was sure motherhood was going to be amazing. "Mom, did Lonnie stop by while I was sleeping?" Wisdom asked. "Wisdom your dad is right now looking for him but his phone was shut off we have a feeling it died with all the phone calls he was making since his car broke down. I'm sure he will be here soon." Wisdom smiled and looked down at Skyler, "Well since he's not here yet this is a picture of your daddy. He's going to love you so much I just know it."

While Wisdom walked around with Skyler Violet began to play the song In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina McBride.  When Wisdom realized what song her mom was playing she began to sing..." In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero. I am strong and wise and I know no fear. but the truth is plain to see. She was sent to rescue me. I see who I wanna be.. in my daughter's eyes...."
