I started having contractions 3:00 am on Sunday and moaned until 5 am until Kameron woke up and helped me time them but we couldn't get a steady count, some would come fast and then others our be 6-7 minutes apart. And they were lower not really across my belly so I thought maybe it was a pre-labor deal and I didn't want to go to the hospital and be sent away but the pain was getting almost unbearable and I couldn't imagine feeling like that much longer. We decide to just go around 7 am I get a shower (barely) and head to the hospital. It being labor day babies took that seriously it was one of their busiest days in 30 years. I waited in the hall for about 20 minutes and then got into a room. By the time they checked me I was 6 cm! 100% effaced! My water still hadn't broken yet and I was dying for that epidural! The anethiesiologist-Jason-was awesome. But right after I got settled after my blood pressure dropped. Really Low. I threw up had to be put on oxygen and the blood pressure cuff was going off every minute. But they worked really fast and calmly and got things under control. I just had to do a lot of deep breathing and would get sick and dizzy. My body was moving very quickly. I got to 8 cm and they broke my water and gave me a little petocin. I did a couple test pushes and his head was right there so they got the doctor in I pushed for about a minute and he came right out! I guess his head was blocking the amniotic fluid so that burst all over the doctor almost hit mom, yikes. And of course the little guy peed when he came out and some got on my face, but he was all blonde hair and he screamed for a good hour. He was hoarse for a couple of days poor thing. But he is just adorable and such a good baby. Sleeps good and is eating good. Jeter just loves him and Kameron is an awesome dad! We are so happy and so blessed to have him here!!!
One Week Old!
