The Birth Story
(It's short b/c I was falling asleep as I wrote it lol)
I went into the hospital late Sunday night after having dinner with my sister who flew in from New York. I walked into the room and started crying/freaking out. I've never been in a Labor and Delivery room before and had no idea how huge they were. So after I calmed down a little the nurse explained to me what was going to happen. They were going to start the inducement process that night and then break my water and give me the medicine at 5 am.
5 am rolls around, and I get my water broken and I immediately thought I was going to feel this enormous pain, but I didn't. The medicine however did start kicking in and I only lasted 2 hours until I started begging for an epidural. It is absolutely amazing how well that works...I felt NOTHING..it was great.
Around 12 pm I had only dilated to 4 cm so my dr said he wasn't going to wait anymore and to get me ready for a c-section. Like I've said before, I KNEW that was going to happen but I was still scared. The c-section itself wasn't so bad at first. They got Alijah out in what seemed like only 10 or 15 minutes. I heard him crying and then I started crying
It was once they started to close me up that I started having some problems. First, I was starting to be able to feel everything they were doing. Then I got really bad chest pains, nearly puked and had some trouble breathing, but everything turned out fine.
Everything was good for 2 days..until a nurse came into the room Tuesday morning and said she had to take Alijah to the nursery to be put under lights because he had jaundice. I wasn't too worried because jaundice is pretty common. However, his jaundice levels weren't coming down by Thursday which was the day I was supposed to come home. So I started getting a little worried because he wasn't eating that well either and that's supposed to help get rid of the jaundice. Anyway, his doctor came in this morning and said his level was low enough for me to take him home. thank god. So I'm home now, still sore, Alijah's doing great...and I'm exhausted lol

He was 9lbs 6oz and 21 inches long when he was born
He dropped down to 8lbs 8oz when we left the hospital though
