Guess who finally came..



So here is my labor story..
I was in the hospital for 2 weeks in mothercare. My doctor put me in there because my protein level, but it ended up tripleing so he said we need to induce me because I was getting sicker. So on the night of December 16 I went to labor and delivery. They put me on the magnesium since I have high blood pressure and it made me really sick. So they have to take your blood every few hours and they can only do it out of your right arm in your elbow and the guy came in and messed up and did it 2 times, I almost passed out. Then another guy came because the guy messed up again! So I got poked so many times, my arm looked horrible. Then they had to thin out my cervix then at 6 that morning they induced me. So at about 10:00 I got my epidural, Jerry Don almost passed out. The epidural made my left leg numb for like an hour. Then nothing. So they came back and gave me more but it still didnt work. I was having the worst contractions and my doctor came in and said I was ready to go! So I started pushing at like 5:00 and it was hell. Dr. Bass ended up delivering him at 6:45 p.m. I was in complete shock, I kept asking if he was really mine. He held him up and he looked like a little monkey all sprawled out, then when they let me hold me I started crying my eyes out. I kept telling him how much I love him. He was so tiny, 5 lbs 4.5 oz, and 19 in. Skinny and long like his daddy.
