Marla Jenniemae Nisski
January 2, 2004
My parents called me on Friday January 2, 2004 about 9 am. They wanted to meet us at Nagasaki for lunch. We thought it would be nice to get out of the house for awhile. I had just been working on my network and rebuilding some servers. Adj was taking the CDs out of the broken carousel. At 9:20 Adrienne called me with a little panic. I knew right then that their was going to be a birthday today. She called the doc and we went to see him. He said go home and wait until the contractions were 5 minutes apart. So we got to Nagasaki just a little after 12 and told Mom & Dad that we could not stay but they were welcome to stop by the house. At around 2:00 Adj's contractions was at 5 min apart. We left the house around 3ish.
Marla was born at 7:06 in room 370 at Ocean Medical Center assisted by Dr. Keelan with an APGAR score of 9.9 (10 is perfect). WWWOOOOOWWWWW what can I say. That was the most intense day of my life. I can't even put into words what we went through. Between Adrienne's cries of pain and the Doctor's saying "It's a girl" I just wanted to cry but Adrienne needed my strength to help her through the rest of the experience. We spent the night and the next day mostly recovering. I don't think Adj really got back to her old self until sometime in the afternoon. Of course Mom & Dad and Paul visited. It was nice to see them.
Marla is perfect. She is dark, quiet, and looks so concerned. She has the chubbiest cheeks and a dimple on her chin just like her mother.
