Well hi there. I'm Norah Francis.
I'm sure you are wondering how all of this went down. (My
arrival, not how I got in my Mommy's tummy...talk to your parents about that
one. I can't wait to ask mine!)
I have heard my Mom saying for weeks "I have got to
blog!" which I thought meant all the funny dances she does to get me to
laugh. Sorry Mom, Dad got the first laughing picture without "blogging" while you were at happy
hour. (Ahem...Mom of the Year...)
Mommy: Hey there Norah Boo! In my defense, Mommy needed a
little afternoon out with the girls after 10 plus months! I was back home in no
time!
Anyway...let me take you on the exciting adventure of My Big
Debut.
Sunday, July 1st
(Mommy's 27th Birthday) around 9pm, we all checked into the hospital.
My Mom got to wear this FABULOUS gown-gag. *I could hear her
complaining for hours and getting texts from Hot Auntie Courtney about how
gross and big it made her look. Get over it Mom, move on.*
Mom and Dad laughed all night, which made the heart monitor
keep slipping, which then made Nurse Becky have to come in every 10 minutes to
adjust it. Hence to say Mommy got a sleeping pill and was told to go to sleep. And
Daddy too. Lame-o’s.
Monday, July 2nd,
which was supposed to be my Birthday, Nurse Chrisha started the induction.
I
was pretty cozy in there and did not see the big rush to come out into this
Texas heat. Chrisha came in quite often to flip Mommy back and forth to try and
get something out of me, but I was like “Ehhh…I’m good y’all.” Here is some of my fan
club waiting on me:
Around 3:30pm, Mommy got bored and decided to get the
epidural over with, which ended up being a breeze. She loved Nurse Carol
and said she probably gets invited to all the good parties.
Tick tock, tick tock…people in and out of the room driving
Mommy crazy-mostly the men... (except Theresa who gave Mommy an amazing foot massage)…little did
they know I was not budging no matter what. I had plans of my own.
We make it to 9:30pm; Dr. Newton and Nurse Becky are like
“Whoa, Norah is just too big.” Thanks Becks & Jenn, finally they get my
hint. All I heard while in Mom’s tummy was “I want a chubby baby. I want a
chubby baby.” Then I get all chubby and she’s all “Why won’t she come out?!”
And I’m like “Hey lady, simmer down now. I’m on my way and damn am I cute.”
Dr. Newton calls Mom from home and says it’s C-Section time.
Nurse Becks gets Daddy all ready, then talks Mommy through everything that is
going to happen. She was a BIT nervous…but then Carol got to come back and give
Mommy some funny medicine, which helped. Here is Mommy and Me the final time before we got to meet face to face:
Before Mommy and Daddy (and Me!) knew it...we were a family.
So, for the past 5 weeks, I've just been hanging out with Mom all day: eating, sleeping and pooping. Mom will be back to this so called "blogging" soon, so just check my Dad's facebook for more pictures.
Until we meet again guys and gals,
Norah Boo
*Yes, my Mom knows her banner at the top is huge. She is working on it.*
