My water broke at 4 am on Sept 16th, I figured that not much would happen at this point so we went to drop of T's work van... while I was driving contractions started..I had no way to tell T as she was driving the van! they were 4 minutes apart! We arrived at the hospital 2 and half hours later. The ride was awful and painfully bumpy! At the hospital we tried everything to ease the pain, the nurse checked me and I just about died, the woman had the longest fingernails I had ever seen..it killed! after that I did not want to be checked again...ever!! I was left alone with T. They never came to check on me to see even how we were doing or if I wanted any pain meds..and I did!!!! It was to the point of me panicking at every contraction. When the doctor arrived he checked me...no pain this time! He said now was the right time for the epidural..I agreed and eagerly awaited my relief 1/2 hour later he came and I was soooo happy to see him....insert long nailed nurse now..SHE SENT HIM AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he asked if he could do it now and she said no she needed to get a heartbeat and vitals, he then asked if she was willing to do this after the pain meds she said no....he said he would come back in 15minutes...by then I knew it would be to late and it was...I was scared knowing that at this point nothing will take away the pain but pushing him out and that's what I did I put ever ounce of my focus on getting him out! The Doctor said we would have our boy by three in the afternoon. Oz-Lee was born at 3:00pm 9lbs 3 ounces of cuteness! In the end I did get the natural birth I wanted and I am so very happy for that, In the moment it was hard & scary but after it wasn't so bad! Breastfeeding is going great too! He likes to eat!!
I know mom's say this all the time but damn he is a beautiful baby!
Congratulations. 9lb 3oz, that is a good size baby. Ouch to give birth naturally. He is adorable.
