He's finally here!

So I was induced at 39 + 1 due to hyperemesis causing severe weight loss and due to the baby being big. They broke my water at 8am and I developed an infection and a fever by 10pm. I wasn't progressing very well and by 9pm was only 5cm and 80%. The pain was coming through the epidural and it was constant with no breaks between the contractions. In addition to the pain I was nauseous and vomiting, sweaty and shaking uncontrollably. Basically I was a mess! The on call doctor who was amazing by the way was worried that I would not be able to naturally give birth as my first child was only 6 pounds and I had a bad struggle getting her out and needed the vacuum assist after 4 hours of pushing. He made the decision to give me a c-section around 11:30/midnight as I was getting hotter and hotter and the baby's heart rate jumped up. Jackson Cartee was born at 1 am weighing in at 7lbs and 7 oz. and 19 3/4 inches long! I sure am sore today! But the nausea is gone and my fever broke around 4 am. Baby boy is in NICU as he also had a fever and has an infection. Later today I get to hold him and try to begin breastfeeding! It was such a long hard journey but it was so worth it when I see his perfect face!!

Still has to stay in the NICU until Wednesday or Thursday poor little guy still fighting an infection. It's making me crazy. I am an emotional mess and would rather go spend time at the hospital with him than be home resting. I'm swollen and sore. Tired. Emotional. I miss my boy. And our seven year old daughter is staying with her grandparents. So I miss her too and am having a hard time splitting my time up. I definitely need more hours in the day to be able to rest and pump and see my son and see my daughter and get things done.
