Well, I guess it is about time I write my birth story. \ud83d\ude42 My little Prince is a week old now. :love: (at the time I wrote this anyways)<\/p>\n
My mom is here and everything is going great.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Last Tuesday I did all I could to kill time that day so it would pass. My mom and stepdad got to Austin around 5 or 6 and my sister arrived around 7:15. We headed out for Chinese. :lick:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I loved that stuff when I was pregnant but I havent really craved it since.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anyways around 9 I took\u00a02 Tylenol PM as approved by my OB and went to bed. Didnt get much sleep. Maybe an hour. I sleep more through the night with Will then I did Tuedsay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I decided I couldn\u2019t sleep anymore around 3:15. That\u2019s 45 minutes before we planned to get up.\u00a0 So\u00a0 DH helped me in the shower and went decided to lie back down. I got out, dressed and woke up the rest of the house.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We were out the door on time!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we got to the 3rd<\/sup> floor and they took me to the monitoring room I just broke down in tears. I was so overcome with emotion I couldn\u2019t hold back anymore. They weren\u2019t tears of fear or anything like that. I was just finally a little nervous and excited and happy and so many different things all at once. Charlie and the nurse hugged me and then I was hooked up to the monitors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We waited and waited. I saw my doctor and finally at 7:30 I saw the anestesiolgist. DH helped me into the surgery room as per my docs request and left while they tried the spinal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It didn\u2019t work. ?\u00a0 She\u2019s tried but it didn\u2019t travel up so they put me under.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I woke up to my mom and Charlie. Charlie was showing me pics and video of Will when they brought him to me. I let him nurse and he latched on immediately! :jump2:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s about it. My throat hurt from having been under (that\u2019s the worse part) so I got a little ice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My family was there and it was wonderful being with everyone that I am close too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My hospital stay was interesting. He was in the nursery more the first night than I wanted, but I couldn\u2019t sleep so the rest of the time he only left to be assessed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I let DH go home to get his last few nights of good sleep. I had lots of visitors and we came home Saturday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oh\u2026.one of Will\u2019s nurse feel head over heels for him so I plan to keep in touch with her. She\u2019s new to town as well so I think I may have a new friend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I guess it is about time I write my birth story. \ud83d\ude42 My little Prince is a week old now. :love: (at the time I wrote this anyways) My mom is here and everything is going great.
