My mood while writing this blog: Thankful |
Ahhh where do i start? lol...well, monday the 16th was my 37 week
prenatal appt, so i went as normal...the day before i had been havin a
few contractions, nothin consistent...and i was nestin like CRAZY....i
cleaned like 5hrs straight, everyone in my house was lookin at me like
what is wrong with u/?? lol...but yeah so im at the doc n i start havin
braxton hicks n decided to time them while i waited, n they were 10mins
apart, accompanied by nausea and cramps...so i mentioned it to the doc
n he decided to give me a kwik pelvic check n my cervix was closed
still, so he sent me to the L&D floor to be monitored...mind u i
was with my daughter lol n she was tired so once they hooked me up she
started cryin cuz she was tireed...so i had to call my dad n he came n
got her for me...
After a hr or 2, the nurse and doctor came in
n said they were concerned because i was contracting, cervix was closed
and the baby's heartbeat was irregular and faint so the doc goes
"yeah...looks like we're gonna deliver u tonite" n i was like
whaaaaaat?! lol was soooo sudden cuz i wasnt expecting it...my bag
wasnt even completely packed! lol so i was moved over to the labor
room, had to walk over there which suddenly felt excruciating, came to
find out when i was in the L&D room hooked up that my contractions
suddenly were 2-3mins apart n still no dilating...so by about 230pm, im
in the bed, starving to death n watchin dr phil while makin quick
phonecalls to Dwight n my parents...my mom was still @ work, n so was
dwight n he picked that day to NOT drive so he had to take a LONNNG
train ride to get to me...so they prep me n then the anesthesiologist
comes in like 4pm explainin everyting to me n im like wait wait so ur
doin this now?? and she's like yup! right now n im like freakin out cuz
no one is here yet to go in with me...so i have to walk AGAIN (ouchhh)
to the OR, n the anesthesiologist does his thing while im staring at
the doorway the whole time waiting for someone i kno to walk thru
it...no one does...
Long story short, i ended up in the OR by
myself, almost passed out on the table, the meds made me woozyish at
first...n when i heard that first cry i was bawlin....soo happy he was
out n he was gorgeous, 6lbs 10oz, 20in n a head full of hair, which
explains all that heartburn lol...n of course the moment hes out i hear
them sayin that theres a Dwight here n i was like omg cant believe he
missed it, even tho it wasnt intentional:-\...
But oh no, it
aint ova....turns out Tyler had an irregular heartbeat n had to stay in
the NICU the whole week, i stayed with him...he's ok tho, still has it
but its not a heart murmur or anything serious...hopefully n
prayerfully he'll grow out of it...so as of now im just enjoyin him n
recoverin! i love my boy n im sooo excited about my "set" lol...SHOP IS
OFFICIALLY LOCKED DOWN!!!....until i walk down the aisle at
least...maybe then we'll talk about it...alot lol
