Born: May 29, 1998
Happy Parents are Sadie & Kyle Pulsipher
Today is the 27th of May and it is the exact day when I was admitted into the hospital at UMC to begin the process to deliver my first child. At 7 pm I arrived and the doctor put me on some weird drug that made me crazy. :) I went 12 hours and the medicine used to soften my cervix was taking it's sweet time. Kylee and I were not in distress yet but around 4pm on May 28th things changed. The nurses were literally trying to do everything to avoid a C section. I think my doctor wanted to do a C Section but it was at 4:30pm when things changed. I looked over at the heart monitor and I saw Two flat lines. I was somewhat dilusional and the nurses kicked everyone out of my room even my husband and then I knew I was scared. Basically I was watching my life end before my eyes. Within 2 minutes I had 6 doctors in my room and nurses were pumping more drugs into me and they watched the heart monitor. The lines came back to normal but I could feel the intensity of the nurses to help me get my baby out, safe and alive. At 9 pm and more doses of pitosin the doctore was determined to get this baby out. The nurses begged him to let me do this natural and at this point I am so tired...Then the pushing began. I pushed every 10 seconds for the next 3 hours. My adrenaline kicked in and I was excited because I knew the baby would be here any minute. But hour after hour passed by and I was losing hope, even faith that I could deliver this child safely. My mom and mom-n-law was their and Kyle did hold my hand the whole time. You could see the fear in his eyes-every push I made I got weaker and wekaer. Finally at 12:11 am on May 29th, Kylee was born. They pulled her out with forceps and then I relaxed and went to sleep. I was told by many mother's not to worry about the baby but to get sleep. So I did just that..They fed her and I remember laying there for hours before I could leave the room because my legs were so numb from the drugs. But thankfully I didn't have to feel the pain.. To make matters worse--Kylee had come down with an illness and when I left the hospital I didn't get to bring my baby home. I traveled from Moapa to Las Vegas everyday to feed her and rock her. I was devoted to that baby girl. I sat in the hospital for as long as they would let me and the nurses always said how nice it was to have a mom that cared about her baby in NICU. I did care..When Kylee finally came home that's all I did-I would rock, feed, rock, feed, and I loved every moment of this new sweet baby in my life.
Now she is turning 14 and she has turned into a beautiful young woman. I have really loved being her mom this whole time. Heavenly Father sent me the most wonderful, first, daughter in the whole world. She makes me laugh, she makes me cry, she makes me smile, and she makes me see a glimpse of what our Heavenly Mother must see in us..Pure Love!! I am so blessed and feel so grateful to know this daughter of our Heavenly Father. She isn't perfect but neither am I. But she is a lot more perfect and has a lot more strength then I did at her age.
There is a definite reason why she came to our home first. She just told me the other day that she knows she holds the responsibility of being a good example because she knows she has so many cousins and family looking up to her. I am so grateful she is wise enough to recognize her role right now.
I love you Kylee!! You will always be my first daughter. You will always hold a special place in my heart and you have given me the strength to live when life wasn't worth living at times, you have given me the gift of laughter when I didn't think I could laugh anymore, you have given the gift of love to all those who come in contact with you and you have given me the strength to just be me and to love unconditionally. I love to watch you love your dad. You have a special way with him and he knows it and I know he is grateful for you just as I am. You are loved by your younger sister's and brothers. You are an awesome sister. And you are truly a great friend to those around you, young and old. You will always be my light in darkness and you will always be my girl..
Here are some pictures for all to enjoy of the sweetness this girl has brought to our lives...
So I hope you have enjoyed my little dedication to my sweet girl. I can't believe you will be in High School this year. I still remember my first day of High School and the day I Graduated...I will cry both days. I wish and pray the best life you can choose for yourself Kylee and enjoy what the Lord has to offer you..
Happy Birthday Kylee!!!
Love, Mom
