Abigail Rae Zins
 |
On Tuesday, June 11th at 8:07 pm, Abigail Rae Zins entered the world weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces. The most beautiful sound we've ever heard was her little cry. We knew it was a good sign if she was able to do that! She was so alert for the first few hours of life. Her blue eyes were wide open taking in everything.We began our day at our usual Tuesday appointment. There was a possibility that we would need to be induced so we were prepared with our bags. The doctor decided that it was time to meet baby Zins and we were sent over to labor and delivery. (My amniotic fluid continued to get lower with every appointment.) I was apprehensive about being induced because of the possible complications that can come along with it and how long it can take (for some people days!). However, it took only 2 doses of Cervidil. My contractions started really picking up around 4 pm and by 8 she was born. Labor progressed so quickly!
We were thrilled when the NICU team checked her out after birth and said she looked great. They didn't even think it was necessary to bring her to the NICU for observation. We never expected to have her room with us so it was a wonderful surprise.
Our prayers were answered when Abigail entered the world safely. We were feeling so blessed to have a beautiful daughter that was able to breath on her own. Little did we know that the next day we'd be facing another unexpected complication...
