Okay so while I have a second or two I decided I would give the low down on the birth of our little baby!!!!
On Monday September 19, 2011 we had a doctor appointment, it was the first (and last) of our exams. When the Doc checked me I was 50% thinned and finger tip dilated, but the baby hadn't dropped yet. As far as we were concerned we weren't having us a baby anytime soon! The week just kinda flew by, no contractions, no changes, or no nothing that felt like dropping, everything was just going by like normal!! Saturday night we went to bed just after midnight, I wanted to keep Jeffie up till midnight so I could be the first to wish him a Happy Birthday!!! 3am rolled around and I got up with the urge to pee but I leaked a little getting out of bed. I went down to the bathroom, pulled down my pants, and there was a little flood.....I was slightly confused, I sat on the toilet and waited..no contractions no nothing. I went back up to bed turned on the light and woke Jeff up, I told him "Not to scare you or anything, but I think my water just broke" his reaction... "No it didn't, it's my birthday your just saying that", I said "No really babe come down to the bathroom." So we go down to the bathroom and I show him, then I sit on the toilet and feel some pressure...thinking nothing of it I am still trying to figure out if the fluid on the ground is really from my water breaking. I sent Jeff after one of my books, we looked through it and still couldn't decide. Finally Jeff says "I think we should go to the hospital" I tried telling him we should just go back to bed, but he said no lol!! So we got our stuff and headed to the hospital it was about 3:50am. We got the the hospital the checked us in and we got in our room. The nurse came in and had me change into my awesome gown lol, then I got on the bed and she did a test to make sure it was ruptured membranes and she also did an exam I was 85% thinned, but only dilated to a 1! Well sure enough the test came back and it was my water that broke, so I sent Jeff home to let the dogs out and to get my blanket and pillows and to bring in the hospital bag out of the car! And there we sat just chillin', breathing through the contractions that I could feel now! At about 8am they checked me again...I was 90% thinned and dilated to a 5. They checked me again at about 11am and I was still at a 5 :(. My parents showed up and we just kept up the breathing through the contractions and Jeff and the nurse were massaging my back and hips, which were getting stronger and more painful. I was checked again, not sure what time cause the pain was strong, but I was dilated to an 8 and they said whatever you do don't push! Ummmm if I can just explain that you feel this horrible pressure that you have to take the biggest poo of your life and it is one of those I gotta go now feelings, but you have to hold it! It was so hard I was yell/screaming and at one point I remember saying "I don't think I can do this anymore." I however am super woman and I did it! So the Doc shows up and says if you need to push, push!! Finally!!!! I pushed and pushed and pushed....they lost the baby's heartbeat for about 8 minutes (at 10 minutes they do an emergency c-section) the doc was concerned so he had to do an episiotomy, ouch! The cord ended up being wrapped around the baby's neck, he got it off and bam there was the CRY!!! What an amazing sound that is!!! I was instantly in absolute love with this bloody messy little dude on my chest!!
