Tyler-Robert-Peterson`s birthstory

Mike and I ate dinner around 6pm on the 12th, I had broccli alfredo, around 8pm I started getting `gas pains` not realizing that they were contractions....I thought nothing of it and went to bed around 10ish...couldnt sleep, around 12:10 I rolled over thinking if I could just get comfy I could fart and relieve this gas pains, well instead i felt the big gush of my water breaking.....went into the bathroom to check for sure, o yea, its time.....
woke Mike up, proceeded to go into shock and start shaking....Mike wrapped me in blankets and then climbed back into bed w/ me, still half asleep he cuddled up to me and said, what should we do now....at that instant both of us kinda snapped out of it like `Holy Sh*& we gotta get to the hospital!!!!` lol
We made it to St. Mary`s in record breaking time, the hour long trip took us about 1/2hr....they hooked me up and I proceeded a lonngggg hard labor, taking showers and wrihing in pain, the offered me the epidural, at like 2am, I wasnt that far along at that point so I said no....well when I did finally get it, it was 11am....felt the true bliss that is epidural...then about an hour later, unbeknownst to me, I dialated the remaining 4 inches....felt incredible pressure and pain where the epidural was and the cathader, heard everyone saying `its time! its time!` and officially freaked out, clawed up poor Mike cuz of the pain, bit into his shirt, got yelled at by the dr and then calmed down, Doc said push when u get the contraction so that`s what i did and 2 pushes later Tyler was here.....he had a little bit of a slow start, had inhaled some amnio fluid that had a bit of merconiom in it and his blood sugar was a little down so he needed an IV for a few days =::( but all is well now =) and he`s quite the lil piglet eatin as he should....we`re breastfeeding but b/c of the issues he had at first, he doesnt like my nipple so i have to either pump n feed him via bottle of stick a baby bottle nipple on my own to get him to latch on, either way he`s gettin the good stuff......
so all in all everyone is happily ever after and now im off to post some pics =)
