Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 What a past couple of days. As you know I was supposed to get induced july 28th at 7 am but little man decided the night before to begin his journey and I called the doc a bit past midnight after I lined someone up to come watch the kids and we left for L & D. When i got there about 1 ish the nurse cehcked me and I was at 3 centimers, she told the doc it was the real thing and for her to come on in. She hooked me up to the machine and started an IV and decided to check me again, it had been only 45 minutes and I was at 4. The doc came shortly after and checked me and I was at 5, things were fast and painful, really painful, and so the doc decided to rbeak my water and see what happened and she said hse went to the desk to ready my chart which shows my other labors were long so they were in no hurry to get an epidural started even though I had already mentioned it MANY times, lol, and she said she heard me through 3 long hard ones and checked me again and I was at 9, holy cow, things moved a bit quicker with her nad the nurse getting things ready. I did NOT get my epidural since it was moving too fast and the doc said the only way to end the pain was to push. i was NOT happy but what else can you do, I pushed for about 15-20 minutes but it seemed like longer and little Emerson came into the world on his Daddys Birthday, July 28th, weighing in at 8 lb 7 1/4 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. he has alot of jet black hair and dark eyes. he is awesome and oh so cute. Pics do not do him justice. I had surgery the following afternoon for my tubal which is pretty sore today but not too bad. I justg rabbed some groceries on the way home for a couple days and that started to cramp me up running around like that but i wanted to get them on the way home so we did not have to go anywhere all weekend. I go crap for sleep at that hospital, either my nurse was waking me up for vitals or they were checking Emerson or watned to take him somewhere or the girls baby next door was screaming his little head off, it was not a place to get rest so I am glad i am home. i am going to grab naps whenever I can. My brother just took the kids out back for a swim and little man is sleeping here next to me so i am going to go grab me a quick snooxe on the couch. my cats are like " what is this thing " checking out the baby, lol.. I will try to catch up on emails quickly, I see you were all very chatty. i surely missed you all and i was ssooo bored up there too, I would of loved my computer Hugs, Robin Due date July 27, 04 It's a boy- Emerson Roger Proud Mom to- Twin boys- and age 8 and their sister Madison- age 5 Wife to Pup for 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Robin, Congratulations on the arrival of Emerson...finally. I am glad all went well and you are feeling good. That is special that he was born on his daddy's birthday. I know all about grabbing sleep when you can. I can't seem to grab any naps during the day because there is always something to do or somewhere to go. Best wishes to you and your family.
