Lexi's Story

I had went past my due date, which was January 6, 1999, so my doctor decided to induce me on January 19, 1999, a Tuesday. Well on January 16,1999 I woke up and hadn't felt Alexis move so I did everything to get her to move still nothing. I called the doctor and she said to go to the hospital. I got there and they could find no heart beat my mom was with me and I was so scared but I thought surley my little Lexi had to be ok. Then they did an portable ultrasound and they said they couldn't get a good picture so they called an ultrasound tech. While I was waiting they decided to break my water and try an internal monitor. They got a heart beat that was very close to me I was so scared. Then the ultra sound tech came in and wouldn't show me the screen. I could just see the sadness in her eyes. I was so scared. My mom was with me and the ultra sound tech left and they said were sorry she's gone. That is when my whole world fell apart all I could do was say no please not my Lexi please. I wanted her so much I prayed to God and just cried. My famiy and friends were there and Lexi's dad came there. Everyone was so sad.

I sit and cry as I type this. I still can't believe she is gone. They told me they would induce my labor when I was ready. Then they did and I lots of family and friends there to support me. They had to do my epidural 3 times before they got it. I got to the hospital around 6:30 pm the 16th on a Saturday. I had my mom and two aunts, Glenda and Tina, in delivery with me. They were wonderful and I love them all so much and could not have done any of this with out the support of all my family and friends. I delivered Alexis Elizabeth Marie George at 8:04 am Sunday January 17,1999 she weighed 8 lbs 9.20 ozs and she was 22 inches long. They laid her on my belly and I held her in my arms. She was the most beautiful little baby I had ever seen and she was my pride and joy. The nurse and my mom gave her a bath and dressed her. While giving her a bath the nurse even checked the temperature of the water. That meant so much to me. Then I held her and so did my family and friends. I also held her while she was baptised. I was in the hospital for three days and got to hold her and see her any time I wanted to. I had the funeral for Lexi on January 21, 1999. Father Kirkoff came and said some wonderful things and really helped me. I had a closed casket but before the service my mom dressed her in this beautiful pink crotched outfit and I got to hold her again and kiss my pretty baby girl. I refuse to tell her goodbye because I will see her in heaven again one day.
