Baby makes four










































Here are a few pictures for you all to feast on. Isabella Marie Mendibles was born at 12:53 pm on December 23, 2008. The delivery was very fast and Isabella's heart rate dropped and she came came out not breathing and it was a very scary 10-15 minutes of us waiting to hear her cry. While that was happening nurse accidentally gave me 80 units of insulin. For those who don't know about insulin, I am currently taking 16 units of insulin in a 24 hour period. So for me to receive 80 units in an IV is an unreal amount and VERY dangerous. I was very out of out so I don't really know what was going on. From what Nicks says is, all the nurses started to whisper and nobody was talking to him to let him know what had just happened. Poor guy, can you imagine being caught between your newborn daughter who's not breathing and worrying about her and then your spouse starts to go into a coma and nobody is telling you what is going on. Needless to say by 10:00 that night I was finally moved over to the ICU of labor and delivery and was kept until Christmas morning. Nick went and found the President of the board of directors to vent to, but I think we will speak to someone else to just find out what really went wrong. In the end we all made it out and alive and it just goes to prove that even in this day in age something can always goes wrong so just be prepared and thankful if and when everyone comes home safe and sound.
