It was Feb. 6th and I had decided to call my Dr's office to find out what was going to happen the next day for my scheduled c-section. While I was talking to them they had asked if I was still having contractions and i of course was. Except they were getting stronger and more uncomfortable but I had been having them forever so I kind of dismissed it as anything to be worried about cause they weren't consistant. My dr said for me to go and get monitored to just make sure. So I said ok and got in the shower. While I was getting ready they started coming every 3 minutes. Then I knew that was more serious. I told Kiko let's get everything ready cause if they stay like this we'll end up having to stay at the hospital. But let me say the night before I had this major breakdown. I started kind of freaking out about the whole c-section thing and got sick to my stomache cause I was just really scared. I just prayed and asked God to be with me and give me strength and courage to get through this. And the next day when I woke up I had this peace and felt ok. So when I found out I had to go to the hospital I knew it was it and everything would be ok. On the way to the hospital I just started getting excited cause I knew I would get to see Kaleb. So anyway when I got to the hospital they put me on the monitor and the contractions were still every 3 minutes and I had dialted to a 2 1/2 and was 90% effaced. They called my dr and he said for them to admit me and to see how soon they could get me in for a c-section. Still I was ok not scared, just sucked that I still had to deal with all those contractions. Lol!! They then told me they were going to do my c-section at 5:00. I had gotten to the hospital that day around 1 and when I found that out it was about 2:30. So they started to get me prepped for the surgery and before I knew it, it was 5!!!! We walked over to the operating room and at that time I was just nervous about getting the spinal. They sat me down I had to hunch over and they gave me the shot that numbed my back and then they gave me the spinal, but I do have to say I felt them moving it around cause they didn't get it in right away, but it wasn't too bad. ANd i'm the biggest baby with needles (it was just that strength I prayed for :-) ) Instanly they grabbed my legs and layed me down I started to feel a heat going over my legs and then i felt it going up to my chest and I was completely numbed. For a second i felt like I was having a hard time breathing but then it went away. I saw my heart rate was getting high but not too bad. It was at like 150 when I looked over and saw it on the monitor. But my dr said it was good during the surgery. Kiko came in and all I remember was my dr. telling me I would feel some pressure and I said "oh are u starting already" and he said "starting ur baby boy's almost here" I couldn't believe it was happening so fast. My dr said I was contracting during the surgery, pretty crazy :-) I felt some uncomfortable pressure and the next thing I heard was a loud cry. My dr then showed me Kaleb over the sheet. I was just crying and crying!!!!! I was soooooo happy and relieved. He was born at 5:19pm. He weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 19 inches long. The best moment was when Kiko brought him over to me and I just touched him, he was perfect. They took him to the nursery and finished me up. I was pretty out of it though after he was born. I went to recovery for 2 hours and then I got to see him and hold him for the first time once I got into my room. I have to say GOD IS SO GOOD!!!! Kaleb and I are both proof of that. It had been a long road but def. worth every second of it. I'm so in love with him, def. tired and sore but so happy. I am so thankful to everyone of u guys who encouraged me and prayed for us during this.
