Alexander-Isaac`s birthstory

Jesse and I showed up at the hospital at 5am Friday morning. We both were tired, but excited. I had no idea what was going to happen so I was a little scared too. We got into the recovery room where they started to prep me. I got into my gown and laid down on the bed, and hooked up to the baby heart monitor. Alex`s heartbeat was very strong, and he kept moving around. After being on this for awhile and answering a bunch of questions the nurse said it was time to be shaved. I was thinking huh.. oh okay they are going to shave my belly. NOPE, the nurse just didn`t care, all in front of Jesse she just pulled the blanket down and started shaving me clean like a baby. That was very embarrassing for me to have to go through at 5:30am. Jesse even put his head down so he wasn`t looking to give me some sort of privacy. After that, I got an IV jammed into my arm (well that is what it felt like) and then a catheter put in. The nurse was nice enough to actually close the curtain this time. There was another lady in the process of labor and I guess she had issues because the nurse got called away to do an emergency c-section so mine got put back about 1/2 an hour. My doctor came in and took another u/s and yep Alex was still breech, so then it was time. The nurse gave Jesse his scrubs, gave me a hat for my hair and said lets go. We walked into the operating room and it was freezing!!!! I sat on the table waiting for the lady to give me the spinal. I was kinda nervous at this because it was my first time experiencing all this and I started shaking. Well, the `little prick` you feel when they out in the needle in your back, hurts worse than they let on but it is tolerable. Then the warming sensation came over my legs and then I felt nothing. My legs felt like they weighed 100 pounds a piece. They then laid me down and strapped down my arms, gave me a little oxygen for my nose and hooked me up to all sorts of beeping things. When they put up the curtain I started having troubles breathing because this was it. I looked around and as the doctor was getting ready and poking me, I could not find Jesse at all. I started to panic and the nurse told me to calm down that Jesse would be here in a minute. At the time I`ve no idea what they were doing behind the curtain but I felt pressure and poking and tugging. My blood pressure started to go up, then I heard Jesse and calmed down a bit. He held my hand and was talking to me to keep me calm while the doctor was doing his thing. When the doctor said Alex was coming and pulled him out, this great amount of pressure came off my tummy and I was able to breathe easy again. I heard Alex cry and started crying myself. Jesse wiped away my tears and then they brought Alex over to see me. He looked so small. Then the nurse told Jesse to lets go and took Alex away to the nursery. Well I guess I didn`t like that because my blood pressure went up to 160/110 and I got all red and my heartbeat was beating kinda fast. So the nurse was talking to me telling me to calm down and to just breathe they were almost done. Then out of the blue I got heartburn, I told one of the nurses and she gave me some medicine for it which helped calm me more. Needless to say, I did not like the feeling of complete abandonment of my body. I was unable to move anything and that was the worst feeling of all.
