Sorry I typed the story before I put the pics up. I dont feel like rearranging all of the pics!
SHe sure is a PROUD big sister! She lets EVERYONE know it too!!
So many people have been asking me the birth story... And to have for my records, here it is!!
I should warn you this might be too graphic for some readers!
Jason got home on Sept 15th at 4pm. We picked him up from the airport! I didn't get to go to the airport the first deployment cuz I was in the hospital with Madison. So it was so special this time for him to get to see me full on prego! We got to have a photographer there to capture the special moment! Well we came home, made dinner, Jasons favorite meal Steak and potatoes! We hung out for a bit then Jason and I headed to the Desert Ridge Marriott. We got to the hotel around 7pm. After we got done swimming in the pool, Jason fell asleep (from traveling so much) and I watched TV. I got up to go to the bathroom and low and behold there is blood dripping down my legs. So I try and wake up Jason to see what to do and he would not wake up, like he would know what to do anyways! I hate being one of those women that call the doc about any and everything, but with blood being involved I thought I better. So I call my doc and she said go get checked and see if your water broke. So I try waking up Jason, it took me about 10 min FOR REAL to wake him up. I said babe we need to go to the hospital and he says can't you wait til morning... REALLY??? So finally I get him up and we get to the hospital around 11pm. Well they check me and said yup your water broke. SO they started my IV (WHICH HURT LIKE HELL) and then got a room prepped for me. The nurse said are you feeling any contractions and I was like I feel pain but not contractions. She was like you are having them every 2 min and you are dialated to a 5. You must have a high tolerance for pain. Anyways we get to my room, and around 130am I get my epidural. Which hurt WAY less then that dang IV. Well at about 230 the nurse said your contractions have stopped so we are gonna give you pitocin to get it going again. So weird that they just stopped. Well at 6am Im only dialated to a 6. they said I dont think your water broke it just ruptured. So they checked and she broke it and sure enough it was not broke. Just ruptured. Well when they broke it it felt like someone took a bucket of water and dumped it on me. Anyways around 630 my epidural sstarted wearing off. I was IN PAIN. I have never felt like that before. So they upped the drugs and all was well. Well at 745 they rechecked me and I was still dialated to a 6. And for some odd reason she checked me again at 8am and was like ok you are at a 9 now so Im calling the doc in. The doc got there at 815, I started pushing at 820 and he was born at 832. Weighing in at 9.13 and 21 3/4 inches! BIG OL BOY! But he is healthy as can be! And Im so happy. I didn't realize how special it was to have Jason there. He missed Madi's birth by 16 hours. So I didnt get to have him by my side with her. It was amazing to have him by my side holding my hand helping me through it all.
