Sunday night, May 25, 2008 i was at my parents house and was going to spend the night. it was raining really hard. my contractions were monstrous but not really regular. my mom was complaining of stomach pains and kept saying she thought i was going to go into labor that night. i just laughed bc for WEEKS i kept thinking i was going to go into labor and nothing happened.
well she was right. i woke up numerous times with very very painful contractions. i got up to use the bathroom twice, and thats when i got the BLOODY SHOW!!! i was so excited, and nervous. it was 3:30 AM Monday morning and i got my mom up. she woke my dad up and to my surprise was moving pretty slowly lol. she said the baby wasnt jsut gonna pop out and that if i felt ok she wanted to get ready. so we get to the hospital around 4:30 AM. i sat there contracting till 9 AM when the doctor checked me and told me i wasnt dialating. they felt around for Leah's position and she had moved out of her head-down position and was laying somewhat sideways with her head out of my pelvis area.
at 9:30 AM they decided to do a c-section. it went so quickly. i was terrified bc i have never even had a tooth pulled and now i was about to go through surgery... AWAKE. i was shaking and my bf seemed pretty calm. they prepped me with information on how things would go down and about pain relief and recovery. by 10:00 i was in a very cold room, shaking from fear as well as the cold... everything went so quickly... i couldnt believe it. incision was made at 10:02 and she was born at 10:03.
when i heard her first cry i cried... i couldnt hold it back. i was so happy to hear her little voice. i couldnt see her though from where i was laying. my bf cut the cord and watched everything as they cleaned her up and all i could do was lie there and cry.
i am the happiest person in the world. although this is my first child, i dont feel strange at all. it feels as if ive known her my whole life. as if ive known her and knew we would meet again when it was time. its the best feeling in the world and sometimes i get so happy when i look at her i cry. shes absolutely beautiful.
