Mother's Day started early for us. Through the night, Tori came in a couple of times, pretty sure she was going to have the baby sometime soon. Then around 5am, she came in to say that Ken and her were going to head to the hospital. Ken had worked that night and hadn't slept yet so he was pretty exhausted. I had Dody go with them so that if Ken went to sleep, at least Tori had someone there. We got up at 6am I called into work to let them know that I was going to be at the hospital with my daughter and then we headed to the hospital around 8 or 9am. When we got there, Tori was in the bathtub relaxing with the jets going that's like a hottub. Dody had already left with Amber to go to Amber's so Cleve went over there and got her and took her home because she was exhausted. Ken went out to his car to try and catch some sleep. I helped Tori wash her hair and take a bath so that she wouls feel refreshed since I knew it was going to be a long day. Amber had planned a Mother's Day BBQ, so around 6pm Cleve and I headed over to her house for that, and while there, we got a call from Ken that the Dr broke her water, so we finished eating, then headed back to the hospital. Later, Amber let me know that I didn't even say goodbye to her before I left. Sorry. Tori had her friends, Donielle and Nicole there, and they stayed until 9pm, then left. Finally, around 10pm, the nurse came in to check on her and the baby's head had crowned. She guessed it had been like that for over an hour. They had just delivered two other babies, just one after the other, so they had been quite busy.We shooed Ken and Granpa Cleve and Dad Cleve out of the room since we didn't want any fainting going on, and Grandma Betty and I stayed in the room. Betty on the left and me on the right to help hold her feet in the stirrups because of the epideral, she had no feeling and couldn't keep them in herself.
She had to be coaxed to push since she couldn't feel the contractions, so I had her lean up and try to see the babys head and that made her push harder and she finally popped out cone head and all!! So she finally had the baby a little after 10pm, I had already called in for Monday, because I knew that by the time I got home, I wouldn't feel like coming in a few hours later. Yecenia Kay Eubanks was born at 10:07pm 
I believe, on May 11th and she weighed 7lbs. 1oz. and was 19 inches. At last weigh in, she weighed 8lbs. 10 ozs.
She is almost too big for the newborn jammies she has. She came home with thrush, and it took awhile to finally clear it up plus the diaper rash it gave her. Two medications later, and it looks almost gone. It made Tori feel like she wasn't a good mom, but I told her to look at how well she is gaining. Dody has been very helpful like a second mom for Tori. Tori just needs to be more confident in taking care of Ya Ya,(that's what I call her), and she will do fine. Today she is one month old!!!!
