*** Warning this is a long one, I wont be offended if you don't read it all. :)
We have been so so blessed with this little boy! People have been asking about labor so I will tell a little about it. We had more complications that I thought we would have but it was not nearly as traumatic as I thought it would be. I had myself pretty freak out by the time we showed up at the hospital Tuesday morning!
Ok so they started me at 8 a.m. with
pitocen and other things that I don't really know what they are :) I totally hated getting the IV and I tell you that part is FAR worse than the
epidural! They broke my water at about 12:30 and that got things moving along quickly! I started feeling a lot of contractions and pretty close together. So we did that for about an hour before I got the
epidural and that thing is from HEAVEN!!! It doesn't hurt at all its seriously the easiest part! I had myself way too freaked out! So we sat around and played games for a while. Funny little side note, I was really
paranoid about my
epidural falling out and I kept telling them that. After I while I could feel my left leg so they told me to lay on my side and keep pushing the button. Well it
didn't get better and I started to feel contractions. So the
epidural dude came in and just put more medicine in the tube. About 15 minutes later I looked at Alex and said something is not right. I could kick both my legs in the air. So the nurse looked at my
epidural and lo and behold it had fallen out! SO I wasn't totally crazy!! This was just has I was totally
effaced and dilated! Well they put it back in before I had to start pushing. So we started pushing about a quarter to one in the morning. Pushed for an hour, then called the doctor, pushed for about an hour with him. Then he said this guy isn't going anywhere lets let the contractions work for a little bit then push some more and if he doesn't come out we might have to do a C-section. Yeah, I started bawling! I was just frustrated because I had been working so hard. Sorry this is getting WAY too long! Anyways, tried with the
forceps and he just
didn't come out so we did end up with a C-section but it went great!
Kade came healthy and happy. We have been so blessed! I keep expecting something to go wrong but
Kade has been wonderful! I am recovering SO well. I have been up and walking around today and yesterday and I really feel awesome! Thanks everything for being so supportive! Sorry that was forever long! Here are a few more pictures. I know I look totally glamorous!
