Two Weeks two days since Maia was born.

It’s been a while without updates, but then again its been our first weeks and days with Maia so the blog hasn’t really been the first thing in mind either 
Maia was born December 18-07 02.18 in the morning. She weighed 3105 grams, i think that’s less than our Christmas ham was
Being the support to a girl (Jessica :P) giving birth to a child is… weird. I’ve talked to a few people who has been through it and well, we just cannot really describe the feeling anyone of us.
At around 20 or so, Jessica felt damn she really needed to go to the toilet, it didn’t work. Few minutes later again and again. But there was nothing to do on the toilet.
She started feeling a bit bad so i warmed some towels with hot water and gave her massages and gently taking care of her, as if she was sick. We thought she was getting sick actually. In our mind Maia shouldn’t come in atleast two weeks so ofcourse it was in mind but it just didn’t look/feel as you would have expected it to do. The hot towel-massage thing made her feel a bit better so we brushed and went to bed. Hours passed without sleep, alternating between lying in the couch and the bed. She felt weird but she didn’t think it would feel like this so once again we passed it on as random illness. Around 12 o clock she still was trying toilet but now it started hurting the whole time in her back so she called her mom and asked her what could be up. Immediately she said “that’s Contractions Jessica”, we hung up and then realised that if it was contractions it was actually just one or two minutes between them. We called up the hospital and described what was going on and they told us to come in immediately.
I called my dad and within minutes both him and my mom was outside and i was desperately trying to dress Jessica but she was wriggling as a worm then both from pains and a bit of panic of what was actually happening right now. We got in the car and drove to the hospital, Jessica still moaning/yelling a bit and wriggling as if it was some kind of competition I did my best trying to calm her down and make the time pass. The hospital was quite badly signed so we flew around a bit here and there and eventually found the place (thank god for signs *cough*)
Finally in the hospital bed we started drinking heavily, smoking pot………………………. just kidding 
Finally in the hospital there was a nurse who put Jessica in her bed, put tools on her to measure her bodysigns and all of those words i have no clue what they are. Jessica came further on so to say in a few minutes, our midwife Sofie entered shortly and after 10minutes or so she told us “this is happening tonight”.
Jessica was in disbelief, shocked and scared out of her brain “because i thought i had to take a crap”. I cannot even remember what i thought when i heard that, i felt happy, scared and was mostly trying to be there for Jessica, calming her down generally and trying to make her as comfortable as possible. Soon she got to use happygas to ease the journey, i was also offered to try but i was simply to busy with the rest and didn’t really feel like trying it. As time passed it got harder and worse, she was starting to have minor panic attacks and yes, so did i , she was starting to feel nausea and was then given acupuncture. One in her back to ease pain, two in her ear to take away nausea and the most fun (for me) was a needle in the head (called the whiskey spot) a few seconds after it was inserted she basically fell asleep sitting up, just to wake up when she was in pain, then to fall asleep and doing so for some time. Eventually the time came for Maia to see the world, about 2am i think it was. The last stages of giving birth with ALOT of panic, alot of pain and alot of “i want to get out of this room now” for both of us. Although sooner than we thought i could see Maia’s head coming out and shortly there after the whole of her was in our world for the first time. I was crying from both feeling helpless and scared just a few minutes earlier and from now the happiness of it all being over, Maia was there and both mommy and daughter were safe and sound.
02.18 Tuesday morning we were celebrating a birthday, we just didn’t think of it that way just yet. Everything was quieting down, except of the sound of cries we had never heard before. It was wonderful. From here i have no clue of what time it was at all. But sometime later on We were served a birthday breakfast with very nice made breads, napkins and applejuice in champagne(?)glasses.

Here i am writing i tiny note, just headed out to carry chairs over to my moms since we are gonna be there tonight for NewYear.
Im making toast for Jessica who hasn’t gotten any sleep at all tonight, Maia just… didnt wanna sleep, or barely wanted to be awake either. Constant crying.
Jessica still in bed, but since she’s on medication i have to wake her up and feed her pills and food anyway. Poor thing.
Happy New Years guys and gals!
Santa was right :)

It just doesn’t feel that fun writing something on the blog about it all as long as i know Mommy and Maia is still in the hospital.
We might even have to spend christmas together there 
As far as iv’e understood Jessica has some “evil” bacteria in her stomach, getting medication through drip now, so it just seems to be a process of… waiting until the battle of the bacteria is over
I just hope she wins before christmas eve, would be nice.
Merry Christmas all.
Since i really should sleep

At home.
4.48 in the morning now and Jessica and Maia is on the way back to MAS.
Daddy is sitting home alone, Jessica started showing some symptoms of what might be an infection so now they’re both on the way back to the hospital.
I don’t think there’s too much worries, but it’s not a fun feeling either way.
3 weeks to go:)
