Write a new blog
| 16-7-2009 - One Year Ago (part 1) |
My mood while writing this blog: emotional |
Well i'm sitting here remembering pulling up to the hospital and checking in. I went up to my room and I felt great. I was so excited to meet my girl even though nothing was going as planned. I was 42 weeks and felt as if my pelvis would break. I just wanted to get things started. I sat on the bed starring at the tub and invisioning having that water birth I wanted so badly. I also looked over my "birth plan" and made sure the nurses knew what I wanted. They were all so nice and I was the only woman on that side of the floor at the time. They inserted cervidil at this very time last year. i had to lay for an hour then i was allowed to walk around. I was all hooked up to monitors and I remember thinking, this is far from what i wanted, yet I was still extremely excited to meet the baby I never knew I could have. I had no idea what was in store, but I kept thinking I can do this, I can do this... As the day progressed they checked me every so often and there were no changes at all. I had contractions but nothing too crazy, nothing I couldn't handle. As the day passed and night fell, I was getting anxious because as a first timer I had no idea what was to come. They gave me another round of cervidil and something to help me sleep and told me I have another long day ahead of me. I was so happy to look over and see the man i love sitting right by my side. We were about to bring a beautiful life into the world. I couldn't wait! (part 2 coming tomorrow) Can't believe its been a year.
