Brady-Anthony-Steinmetz`s birthstory

Well my big man arrived 9 days early on 4/14/09. I labored at home for about 11 hours and then went into the hospital 10pm. They broke my water and attempted to give me a spinal (which didnt work) and 3 epidurals and for some reason my spine just wouldnt take to them. With a c-section just around the corner due to his heartrate dropping...i asked them to check me one more time. Thank god i did....i was at a 10 and they said i could have him natural. I pushed for a total of 15min and he was arrived at 2:37am. He wasnt breathing and had to be swept off to the n.i.c.u for about 3 hours. He weighed a whopping 9lbs 12oz. I couldnt believe it. They said it was Gods way because i would have never delivered him naturally if i had and epidural. Dont know if any of you have heard of this but i ended up getting a spinal headache from all of the holes in my back leaking fluid. They thought it might get better on its own but since it didnt i had to go in Friday and get a `blood patch` done in my spine. They take blood from your arm and inject it into your spine to clot the holes. Between that and the delivery i have never felt sooooooo much pain in my life but in the end pain is bliss......look at my beautiful baby. We call him `Moose` LOL
