Hello Everyone,
Well, David IS HERE!! He made is debut on August 4, 2009 at 2:52am! It still seems like a whirlwind! I was contracting a whole week before hand and was thinking that he would never come out, but OH MAN DID HE! I can honestly say I have NEVER experienced pain like childbirth! There is no way to explain it! Thank goodness I had a fast delivery.
So the day started like every other that week, I was contracting and hurting but was beginning to learn to deal with the pain. A few hours into the day the contractions got significantly WORSE...they were knocking me to my knees and bringing me to tears! So my Mom and Shauna (my awesome labor coach) took me to the hospital for an OB check. The nurse set me up and was monitoring my contractions for about 30 min. She came back in and checked me and said that I was only dilated 1cm! I was ticked! She was rude and told me my contractions weren't strong enough and the baby wasn't down low enough! So she called the doctor and sent me home, but before I left she told me to come back if my contractions were 3-5 min apart for an hour...I was thinking, "WHY DO YOU THINK I AM HERE?!". They had been 3-5 min apart for several hours! Grrr!! The other thing she said was to come back if my water breaks. I was so discouraged when I left there. I mean I knew I was in pain, but they made me feel like an idiot.
So we went home. My brother and sister spent the night at a friends house, so the house was quiet and calm when we got home. I was on the couch crying because I was hurting soooo bad! Then all of this sudden, I got really warm and could have sworn I just wet my pants...but I knew I didn't! All I could think of was HAHA nurse, my water broke and I'm coming back! You can't send me home now!! Lol!
My water broke at 11:30pm that night! I was able to get in touch with RW so he knew what was going on and he called and notified his family so everyone would know what was going on. We left the house and headed to the hospital when I hit transition at about 1:30am and David was born at 2:52am! I am proud to say that I had a natural birth, no drugs and no epidural! Thank goodness it was a fast delivery! I don't think I could have done it without my Mom and Shauna. They were amazing! Shauna you were a GREAT coach! Thank you so much! :)
David was 5 lbs 8 oz 19". He is a month old now and is getting cuter by the day! I will be sure to try and stay on top of my blog so I can share pics and the cute little things he does! I just wish RW could be here to see him. He is such a proud papa! I can't wait for the two of them to meet! David looks JUST like his Daddy! He is so handsome! ;)
