hayden-Alister`s birthstory

Well i had my baby boy finally! he was born march 21st at 12:08 pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 15.6oz and was 21 inches long. Pretty healthy baby. The story was so weird. Earlier that day i told chris my stomach felt tight and that i felt weird, i also felt pretty exhausted. Chris had went to work the nite before since he works third shift and all, well his friend munchkin bob that gives him a ride to work, his wife called at work because she was having a reaction to a medicine she was taking so he had to go home, so he told chris lets go, at 3:40 chris walked in the door, i woke up and had asked what he was doing home so early, he told me bout bobs wife, then said he popped his knee out of place, he said he had to go downstairs to show his dad so i said wait a minute ill go with i have to pee, well before he got home i felt this gush of warmth come out, just thought it was a little discharge, but as soon as i got up to go pee it all came flowing down my leg, i looked at chris and told him i as leaking, and it wasnt discharge, so my pants became extremly soaked! i went downstairs and it trickled everywhere! went to the bathroom and i was still leaking! called stacey my midwife and had told her what happend.

She said well it sounds like your water broke, go to the hospital to get checked. So here i am all nervous and excited at the same time, but was utterly confused cuz the day before i had a doctors appt and nothing had changed and i was going to get induced on tuesday, well haha what a crazy thing! So chris is getting ready to take me, picking my bag up for me, i get in the car and off we go to the hospital, they rolled me up to the ob and as she was rolling me up there it felt so unreal and all i could think about was...’this could be it’ and they checked my cervix and if the qtip turned blue it was for sure my water broke...and welp it was blue! i was so excited yet soooo scared!

they started me on antibiotics since i tested positve for group b strep. I wasnt having contractions for awhile even tho it was saying i was, so they started me on some pitocin to get contractions to last longer and stronger, bout an hour later i was feeling it pretty good, wasnt all that bad really, just a lot of deep breaths i had to take, i was 1cm dialated. They put me in the jacuzzi for a bit. It was so relaxing! Another hour passed and i was 2cm dialated and only 84 percent, effaced..at that point i was saying oh great ive been in labor what...6-7 hours and still only 2 cm dilated! Later here comes dr harris, i knew he gave c sections! so as soon as i seen him i started bawling and then he broke the news that his head was to big and i just wasnt dialating, but what they didnt tell me was the cord was wrapped around his neck twice! ahhh!!!!! so they had to do a c section, alot of things were going through my mind at this time, there was no way out of it and i just couldnt relax, so there i went to the OR. They gave me the anesthesia and instantly i felt nauseous and couldnt breath that well, and then i really felt sick and started dry heaving and then puked up the red jello i had eaten while i was in labor! yuck...nurses were talking to me trying to get me to calm down but i felt so weird, then i couldnt feel a thing and was tired, Chris said you here that..15 more minutes! I was so out of it tho, i didnt even know they were already cutting me open! Then the moment i have been waiting for ...I hear my little boy take his first cry and i couldnt even explain how much i was relieved that he was finally here! stacey brought him over to me and said ’lookey, this is your little boy’ and i had tears coming down my eyes and was so in love with him instantly, he is such a beautiful baby so much more beautiful then what i had imagined him to be. Its so crazy. But as that all passed, they first took me to the recovery room where the worst pain i ever felt took place, they were squeezing all the afterbirth out of me a big blood clot in my uterus! i was cussing and screaming, omg it hurt so bad! Then after that they started the breastfeeding, he did really well at first but i have to use a nipple shield now to feed cuz he wont latch onto me without it. It helps so much and i can honestly say breastfeeding is going really well. I am the happiest ever even tho i havent got any sleep at all! i feel much more closer to chris and so much more in love with him knowing he was there for me and that he gave me such a beautiful baby. Everything is perfect for me and i cant wait to watch him grow each and everyday. Being a parent is the toughest job thats no lie, its frustrating at times but its such a great expeirence and feeling and im so happy i was able to expeierence such a beautiful thing. Thanks everyone who came to the hospital to visit me it meant so much! come by and visit anytime. We were released from the hospital around 8pm the 24th as to we had to wait for hayden to pee becuz of his circumsion. I’ll have more pics posted soon!
