Whoa!!
Fast forward 8 months, our little Mason is 3 months old now. So here it goes...MY BIRTH STORY!!
The night of March 28th (my due date) I got home from having dinner with friends and decided to have a photo shoot with my belly. Michael was such a good sport and took all the pictures.
I was woken up the next morning by a very strong contraction. I woke Michael and he said to let him know if it happens again and we will start timing them. I got up to go to the bathroom and, AHHH! I didn't make it to the bathroom. Did I Pee? Did my water break? Google images helped us to confirm that my water did indeed break. My water broke at 5am. We grabbed my hospital bag and went! My contractions got more intense on the way to the hospital and by the time we got there and admitted I was 5cm dilated and my contractions were two min apart...BACK CONTRACTIONS :-(. I wasn't trying to be a hero so I got an epidural and everything was good after that. I was put into a delivery room, took a nap, did some practice pushes and then it was show time! Except Mason was feeling a little stage fright and didn't want to turn to come out. The Dr. and Nurses kept referring to it as he was laying "sunny side up", a nice way of saying that our spines were rubbing together. I pushed for 4hrs in every position possible to try and get the little guy out and then decided with the Dr. that a C-Section would be the safest option.
After a long day of literally blood, sweat and tears our little Angel entered the world at 6:57PM weighing in at 7lbs 9oz and 22'' long. He was (and still is) perfect.
HUGE shout out to my amazing husband Michael for staying by my side all day long and providing so much support and comfort.
Its been a crazy 3 months but we are loving every second, parenthood is such a rewarding experience and we have only just begun!
