New Arrival

They say the 3rd time is a charm, that indeed it is. I can't believe my boy finally made it here. I am so happy. My family now feels complete. Not sure what God has planned for me but I honestly don't think I can handle another pregnancy, I get too seriously ill. Anyhow all of those bad days that I had during this last pregnancy was worth this new little bundle of joy. I love him so much. I just worry how I'm going to provide my time and love for the rest of my family, so far it's ok. I just hope I stay on top of things.

I remember blogging during my last pregnancy while I was in labor. You can see that post HERE . However this time around things went much faster! With my last two kids I had to be induced because my kids were showing no signs of wanting to come out and join the world. Well I thought it was going to be the same with this one. Last Monday after seeing my doc ( 2cm at this time) I was scheduled to be induced on Wed. night but didn't make it, because I went into labor late that night around 12:30 am, it woke me out of my sleep. I wasn't sure what was happening, because I never went into labor on my own. So I called the hospital and spoke to the labor & delivery triage nurse and she tried to TALK ME OUT of NOT coming to the hospital. Saying that the contractions that I was having was false, to drink some water ( what is that suppose to do) and that I should go back to my doctors office in the morning. (WTF? is this lady ill? I think she just didn't want to do any more work). Anyhow after about an hour and more regular increased painful contractions, I took a shower and convinced myself that I should go to the hospital. Got there around 3:30 am, was 8-9 cm. If I would've listened to that stupid nurse I would have had my baby at home! Around 6 am and two pushes later I had my son. This time I went ALL NATURAL, NO PAIN MEDS, NO EPIDURAL . After I found out I was so far along, I figured it wasn't necessary. I admit when it came time to push I got scared and thought I made a mistake. My DH even got mad at the nurse for not giving me anything for pain, but that was my decision. However after I gave myself a pep talk and two pushes my son had joined us in the real world. I initially wanted a natural birth at a birthing center, but due to the fact that I was so ill and high risk it was necessary for me to see a doctor vs midwife. All in all I'm just grateful to have a beautiful healthy boy. I let my kids witness the birth my son was super excited, he even told me I did a good job on having his brother. Kids say the darnest things. As far as my daughter she didn't take it to well, she didn't like seeing her mother in pain. They both took to their little brother well. They both want to help out and show him love. I have seen no jealousy in my daughter like I thought I would which is great. We are a big happy family, I'm blessed, I couldn't ask for anything more.




I promise the next post will be about hair.

Until then much love
