So here is the story of what went down that Wednesday afternoon before she was born! I went in for a routine 38 week check up at my OB office. They had been watching my blood pressure since it was high with Christian. The whole pregnancy I had not had any problems until this Wednesday afternoon. The nurse took a routine pressure check and low and behold it was high! It was 150/96 and to those who do not know they are really concerned with the bottom number. My doctor came in to talk to me and was like what is going on with your pressure? I did not know considering I had a very relaxing afternoon before going into see her. She left the room and I heard her talking about a C-section in the morning? I was not prepared for her to come in and tell me to go straight to Labor and Delivery! HUH? You want me to do what? They were going to monitor me and then do my C-section the next morning! I could not believe it! I was ready to not be pregnant, but not ready to have her a week early! I did not even have my cell phone with me to call anyone..........especially Brian. Well, needless to say that chaos is the best way to describe went down in the next few hours! Since I could not go home Brian was going to have to bring me all my stuff which by the way I had not packed! I had to find someone to take Christian and by the way did I say my father was having surgery the next day too! Murphy's Law was
definitely setting in at this moment! I got in touch with my mom and we got a plan under way. Finally, I was able to get in touch with my husband to ask him if he was ready to have a baby
tomorrow? What? We got everything taken care of and Brian would soon arrive at the hospital. Poor Debbie had
literally just left the day before from helping Julie with the birth of Preston and now they had to turn around and come right back! I called my sister in Indianapolis and asked her if she felt like driving? Everybody would be there the next day at some point! My father was the only one there for her birth and was able to watch her get bathed and everything! I think it was special for him and I am glad he got to be there before his surgery that afternoon!
Henley Lynn
Banta blessed us on October 2
nd, 2008 at 7:15am. She weighed in at a whopping 7lbs 90z and was 21 inches long! Healthy and with a set of lungs already we could not wait to see her for the first time! She is
definitely bigger than Christian was when he was born! However, they could be twins at birth! There will never be any denying they are related. Brian and I almost fell over when we saw her
because it was as if we were looking at Christian the day he was born! I think you always expect siblings to look a little different especially when you grow up with a sister with blond hair and blue eyes! I love looking at them as babies and here is a picture of
both.........can you tell the difference? I am sure you can since Christian has more masculine features. Henley is so little and petite and
defiantly looks like a little girl! Both adorable
in our opinion! The whole family made it there that day. My mom made it there with Christian to meet his new little sister, t
hen the
Mizerany's, than my sister and last, but not least
Nene and Poppy
Banta! It was a wonderful day and God has blessed us again with a healthy, beautiful new little life! The
Banta's were staying with us for the week to help out an
d I thank them dearly for everything they did! They did anything from playing with Christian, to cooking fabulous dinners and taking care of household chores! We are so appreciative for being blessed with so many loved ones who are here to help us! Thanks Debbie and Lynn and my sister Heather for
coming so quickly........We all love and miss you all already! My mom is about to help me now with Brian starting to work and travel! I do not know what I would do if she did not live down the rode. Thanks in advance Mom! I have a couple of posts to add, so keep checking each day!
