Avani Rayne Ranches Suasi has ARRIVED...
...Started the IV and Pitocin at 10 pm...
...Was about 2-3 cm dialated for about 2 hours...
...Dialations progressed slowly to 6 cm by 12 noon, Thursday...
...Couldn't eat anything but ice chips...
…Got the epidural around 10 am…
...Was at 6 cm and at 80% effaced from 12 noon to 7 pm, Thursday...
...The Pitocin was working very slow...
…Doctor finally broke my water sac around 7 pm…
…Contractions got closer and unbearable…
…The epidural kept wearing off…
…Anesthesiologist gave me a couple of bolus dose…
…The epidural worn out 30 minutes before 9:15 pm…
…Couldn’t stand the pain any longer…
…I was moaning and groaning --- wanted to jump off the bed…
...They couldn't give me anymore bolus dose...
…The contractions progressed from 6 cm to 9 cm in an hour and a half…
…I was dialated to 10 cm, 100% effaced and started pushing around 9:45 pm…
…I felt giving up around 10:00 pm from pushing, it felt like forever…
...Auntie Myrna came in to the rescue --- she gave me pretty good tips for pushing...
…Prayed to God for extra strength and endurance from the pain…
…Baby’s head started showing up around 10:25 --- then all of a sudden *SNIP*…
...I pushed and pushed and pushed and finally…
…AVANI RAYNE RANCHES SUASI was born…

Weight: 7.95 lbs, Length: 19.69 in.
…Very, very beautiful girl…
...Shalyn, Auntie Myrna, Mommy and Ember gather around the very tired Shem...
...It's the very proud Grandma Myrlinda...
...Darryl, the very proud daddy who couldn't believe how beautiful his little angel is...
..."I can't believe this wonderful bundle of joy God gave came from inside of me"...
..."I went to visit my GREAT GRANDMA...
..."I am finally home"...Hi to my grandma and grandpa in Philippines. I wish you guys were here when I arrived! Can't wait to meet you. --Love, Avani Rayne
Right now I'm just recovering from the whole experience, however the joy of having Avani around made me forget the pain I am feeling...I couldn't ask for more...
Thank you to all our family and friends who prayed for a normal and safe delivery...It definitely wasn't fast since I was in labor for about 22 hours...Now we're up to the task and in full throttle as we venture into bigger responsibilities...Of course we won't be able to do it alone...But with the help of God, family and friends we know we will be able to rear and nurture our child in God's ways...
