from my blog:
a week ago today...
I was 38 weeks and t was 1:45am and I was sleeping having some sort of dream when all the
sudden I started peeing my pants. I woke up with a start and smacked
Trent and with a panic he said, "what?!" Clearly embarrassed at peeing
myself I quickly replied, "bad dream...." but the pee continued to
flow. So I jumped out of bed and all the sudden it was Niagra falls in
my pants. This was not pee. "MY WATER JUST BROKE!" So Trent flips out
of bed and we start running around the house packing up our things like
crazy people. I ran to the bathroom to let the rest of my water come
out and Trent yelled, "don't give birth on the toilet!!" (completely
serious...one too many TV dramas for him? haha) I called my doctor who
told me to come right in and then I called my mom. The contractions
started immediately and felt like dull period cramps. "Are you ready!?
Lets go!!" Trent was still convinced I was about to give birth any
moment. "These things take time.." I informed him..."and I want to put
on some makeup first!" So I started putting on my makeup and then the
contractions started getting worse so we quickly got into the car and
drove to the hospital.
When
I arrived at the hospital I was started to feel the pain (contractions)
and when checked I was at 3cm. Eventually I begged for the epidural
because the pain was so bad. I thought I was going to throw up. Finally
a saint entered the room...we'll call him the anesthesiologist, and he
shoved a foot long needle into my back. After about 15 minutes I was
completely numb below the waist and feeling good. I even took a long
nap. 3 hours later the nurse came back in to check me and I was at 7cm.
Where was my mom?? She was lost in Minneapolis! So Trent and I
continued to nap and a few hours later the nurse came back in and I was
fully dilated and ready to push. Still no mom! 1/2 hour later She
FINALLY got there (with my sister) and we were ready to go. The nurse
asked me for a practice push and I pretended to poop b/c I couldn't
feel much and thats what I've heard you're supposed to do. "Well theres
the head...we better call in the Doctor!" and when the doctor came in
Trent grabbed one leg and the nurse grabbed another and I bursted into
tears. "whats wrong?" they all asked. "I'm afraid of the pain!" I said
even though I was numb. "Well sometimes the epidural doesn't reach the
skin down there..." said the doctor. BITCHES! So with that, I pushed
again. The pressure was intense but I didn't feel any pain. "Guys I
don't feel good" Trent was looking pale as a ghost and he thought he
was going down. The nurse brought him in some juice and my mom took his
spot holding my leg. "don't worry I'll take care of Trent if he passes
out," My sister--looking pale herself--informed me. "One more push and
he is here!" said the doctor. So I gave a final push and out came
Blayne Alan with a spectacular entry peeing all over the
doctor. The doctor asked Trent if he wanted to cut the cord which he
did and I started bawling tears of joy as they handed me my son. I
couldn't believe what I had just done. "we made this beautiful baby" I
told Trent. It was all very emotional. Overall the labor was 6 hours
only and Blayne was 7lbs 11oz and 20.5 inches long with a FULL head of
blonde hair. All the nurses said they have never seen a little boy with
so much blonde hair.
