Wow so apparently Im no good at updating this thing...I'd like to think I have good reason though. So much has been going on that it's the last thing on my mind.! Where to even start.....
September 1st:
My baby boy is here.! Yes, Reece Matthew Ward was born September 1,2010 at 7:25pm by c-section. He was 8lbs 9oz and 3 weeks early.! Can you imagine if i would have gone full term....I would have had a 10lb baby easily.! So the story goes, I was admitted to the hospital August 31st for high blood pressure and I was actually in the hospital the night previous to that as well for high blood pressure. The doc came in and gave us our options and we decided to go ahead and start the inducing process. I was having signs of pre eclampsia so this is the reason we were induced 3 weeks early. They placed the cervadil in and 12 hours later took that out and I was dilated 3cm and 70% effaced, so they then started the pitocin and let me tell you....the pain was ridiculous, I could not wait to get the epidural. Funny thing is I was terrified for the epidural, before I was even pregnant I told people there was no way in hell I was having a needle shoved in my spine.! Boy was I WRONG.! It was the most amazing thing ever.! The pain was instantly gone and I was a happy camper again. 1 hour after the pitocin I was 10 cm dilated and 100% effaced.! WAHOOOO.!!
PUSH BABY PUSH.! Right?? WRONG.!! I pushed for an hour and no progress...he was so far up and hadnt dropped that he was stuck in the birth canal and thats when my doctor informed me I needed an emergency c-section. I cried a lot after that...haha. I was scared and frustrated but it all worked out and my doctor is amazing.! The c-section wouldn't have been as bad as it was except for he fact I got a bad infection, which is extremly rare by the way, but what do you know I would be the one to get it. I had to go on meds and was in so much pain I could barely even walk. It gives me the willy's just to think about it. So happy that's over.!
6 weeks have already passed and I can't believe it. It's crazy how time flys.! I love being a mom and I love my son so much. It's crazy how much love you can have for someone.!
