Hey guys!!
So Tuesday at 8:30pm I crawled in bed with hubs to cuddle and after just a minute, we literally heard a POP. We looked at each other and he said "whoa I felt that kick against my arm" and I said "um I'm soaked- that wasn't a kick!" Rushed to the bathroom and just stood on the tile as it gushed out. Called the OB and she said come to hospital now don't wait.
So H showered and we threw together his bag and a few extra things in mine and got there around 9:30pm. Waited in ER for a little bit and got to delivery room around 10. I said I didn't want meds, contractions were not too bad at that point. Just 30 min later I was doubled over yelling for the epidural. Contractions were 2 min apart and there was just no relief in sight. They got it to me by 11:30pm and it relieved the back pain but I didn't realize I'd still feel everything in the vagina region!
So at 1am I said I had the urge to push, they check and I was ready and fully dilated! Holy shit that happened fast. Pushed for 40 min and out he came (again I thought epidural blocked all of that, boy was I wrong haha). I had my eyes closed focusing on the pushing so I didn't see him born and since he was 2 weeks early doctors immediately checked him rather than throwing him on my chest. No big deal, he was with me within 10 min. I had thought I'd get the one IV then have time to unhook and undress and labor. But since it happened so fast I never unhooked IV and so my tank top was still on for that first skin to skin. But the nurse quickly let me unhook and strip.
I swore multiple times during the ten+ stitches. The last three days have been amazing and we're home now. I may have cried the entire ride home because I love him so much. Eli Robert 7lb, 10oz, 19.5 inches.
