I haven't had time to share his birth story due to the madness going on being a new mom and all that fun stuff!

It started out that around my 39 week appointment my doctor wanting me to be induced because i was already dilated to 2cm and my pregnancy went so well that he thought it would be okay to induce me on my due date and everything would go fine so i trusted my doctors words and scheduled the be induced thursday December 6th at 6AM. I was so nervous and so excited to FINALLY meet him i only slept about 2 hours that night. So we wake up and get all of our stuff ready to go i can't stop shaking because i'm so excited and we get there, first of all from the start it was a disaster they forgot to schedule my induction so i was stuck sitting there giving them all my information forever and finally i got to my room where i met my first nurse, she was nice but she got on my bad side real quick when she went to put in my IV and i told her i did not want it in my right hand, she looked through my veins for an hour and then insisted we do my hand because "she liked that vein" i just said whatever and she put in the iv and it was so sore and there was blood everywhere she explained the room looking like a tim burton movie? something very comforting to here. NOT. So i got started on the pitocin (drug to help kick start labor and gives you intense contractions) I was on pitocin for four hours and felt NOTHING finally after a couple more hours start to feel contractions and they aren't fun, so i'm thinking i must be dilating and something could be happening well my doctor came and checked me and i was not dilated at all i was still at a 2 so i just started crying because i already went through all this pain for nothing basically, so he suggested he can either break my water then or i can go home and try again monday so i said i would wait it out and come back monday well I had intense cramps through out that entire day then saturday afternoon i went to the bathroom and lost my mucus plug which is seriously as disgusting as it sounds but i got so excited because this is a SIGN something might be happening! That day we went to the mall and walked around forever and then we ate qdoba and there tortilla soup is no joke so HOT! and later that night i had sex because WHY NOT? (these are all things that are suppose to help bring on labor) so i had some contractions that night but they weren't timeable and they weren't bad at all so i just went to sleep and 2 hours later at 3AM i wake up to my water breaking everywhere it is literally breaking while i am still in bed and i seriously FLEW out of bed faster than i have ever done anything before and told derek to get up. Once i THOUGHT it stopped i changed my underwear and said okay we have to go to the hospital like now. Little FYI when your water breaks it is NOT like the movies make it seem like it doesn't just break and then it's done like i thought that's how it worked but it's not, you keep leaking water like massive amounts of water until the baby is out, it is so disgusting and uncomfortable. We finally made it to the hospital they checked me in quickly and we went to a room did the same thing we did thursday IV, Pitocin all the fun stuff...I was dilated at a 3cm now so i was pumped because i made some progress! After a few hours i already felt contractions and lucky me they were in my back..Back labor is the worst thing i have ever experienced in my life, I couldn't even move or speak and i at one point told the nurse to stop talking to me because i was in so much pain. My nurse by the way was awesome she was hilarious and helped me through everything she even had the epidural ready for me before i asked for it which was AWESOME because at this point I NEEDED IT. So i got my epidural in and it was so amazing, i remember just laying in bed watching sponge bob and feeling so relaxed and good but still i could feel pressure every time i had a contraction which was irritating but i could deal with that. After all of this happening i thought for sure things were progressing and looking up! so at 11:30 the doctor checked me (Random doctor unfortunately since my awesome doctor wasn't on call the night he decided to come) She broke the news to us that i was still dilated to a 3cm and my pelvis might not be big enough for him to come out AND his heart rate was dropping and he was getting stressed out...so she suggested we talk about a C section. I seriously broke down, this is what i was trying to avoid my entire pregnancy and was not part of my birth plan at all. I talked to derek about it and he was so comforting the whole time, i remember him telling me that it was up to me and to do whatever i have to do to get him out safely and everything is gonna be okay no matter what. My thoughts at this point were just get this baby out of me i am in so much pain and stressed out beyond belief...This was major to me though, i have never had a surgery in my life and had no idea what to expect at all because i never researched this, it was like i said NOT MY PLAN... so after talking to my nurse she explained to me everything that will happen and told me everything will be just fine so i agreed to the c section and my nurse set everything in stone and what seemed to be 5 minutes we were out and in the Operating room ready to go. I don't think i have ever been that scared in my life, i was white as a ghost and shaking intensely on the operating table and i couldn't stop... Finally I got my epidural switched to a spinal which makes it so i won't feel a THING and they started grabbing at my skin and asking me if i felt certain things and i honestly thought at first that i could feel everything so i was confused but you are suppose to feel tugs and pulls just not pain so this entire time derek was out of the room he comes in and they started the procedure, I just closed my eyes and held dereks hand and it honestly wasn't what i thought it was going to be it was a strange feeling absolutely but not horrible. It seriously went by so fast and before i knew it they told me he was coming and i felt them pull him out and this was kind of painful but i knew he was coming so i didn't care i felt them tug him out and i heard him cry and i just started crying like i was so relieved and so excited that he was finally here and they showed him to me before they took him and i could barely see but i just cried and derek and me shared such an intense moment we said we loved eachother and then derek had to go back with the baby while they finished with me. That was the happiest moment of my life and i would do it all over again for sure. Being scared of labor and birth is something that women should not be afraid of, it really is a beautiful life changing experience and your body just takes over and you know what to do to get your baby out. Even though i didn't get the labor/birth i wanted i got my beautiful son and that is all i need. When you see and hear your baby cry for the first time there isn't another moment that even could compare. He is my life<3
