Aayden Xzavier Crudup
Born April 26, 2008 @ 9:42 P.M.
Weighing 8lbs 7oz
Measuring 19 3/4 in
Birth Story:
Well I started having contractions on Friday night, April 25, around 9 or 10 o`clock. They weren`t too strong, and they were irregular...but they were the first that I had experienced. So I went to sleep...hoping that I would continue to have contractions throughout the night...and have to go to the hospital in the morning. I was in and out of the bed all night...I wasn`t timing my contractions b/c I didn`t think that they were strong enough. Well I finally got up at about 10:30, and decided to watch some tv. I was continuing to contract...mostly in my back...getting painful too. At around 11, I felt some warm liquid down there...I went to the bathroom to check on it...and I was rather wet down there...but I didnt` think that my water had broke. So I came out of the bathroom and looked in a pregnancy magazine to see if I could get a better idea of what my water breaking would feel like.....nothing ....so I tell Aaron I think my water broke....and he was like you `think`.....so after a few minutes I decide to call the nurse line at my dr. office. I spoke with a nurse and she said that she would call the dr and have her call me. The dr calls me back about 5 min later and I tell her what`s going on....so she has me come to the hospital to be check.
So by now, its about 11 and we`re headed to the hospital. The whole way I`m thinking there is no way this is it...and Aaron agrees w/ me....I really didn`t want to look like a dummy!!! So needless to say I was nervous!!!! Oh yeah...still haven`t been timing my contractions.....We arrive at the hospital at 11:15.....go to L&D....and get all checked in. So Aaron goes to the waiting room and I go to triage to be checked. So I get hooked up to all the monitors...answer all the questions....and finally they let Aaron come in. So after being hooked up to the monitors for about 10 min. we find out that I am having contractions every 2 to 3 min....WOW!!!! So next they want to check to see if my water did break. They got this lil peice of litmus paper that would change from green to blue if there were the presence my water.....so they put the paper down there.....and it changed BLUE!!!! I couldnt believe it!!!! I didn`t feel like a dummy!!!! So, now they check me. The first nurse says 50% and 1 to 1.5 cm....the second nurse says the same....which is strange b/c my doc had told me at 38wks that i was 75% effaced....okay. So being that I`m only like 1cm....I`m thiniking i`m going home....NOPE!!!!
After about an hour in triage....we get into our L&D room. We already had visitors by then and my mom was just another hour away. So I get my IV put in...and then I get put onto pitocin to speed up my dialation. I`m doing fine...but the contractions do start to get stronger. So around 2 my mom gets there....and by 3 these contractions are kicking my butt!!! So i`m determined to do this thing all natural right. Well I`m doing good...working w/ the contractions...got my mom and Aaron by my side. Well after about 3 hours they need to check my progression....b/c the shifts are changing. I was dealing w/ the pain until then. So they check me and I`m only at 4 to 5 cm.....DAMN!!!! And now i have to stay in the terrible possition....I was in the bed backward on my knees....working with gravity. So the contractions are killing me in this position....so....i decide to get a demerol to take the `edge off`.....well that mess hurt cause they had to do something with the iv....which included suction....i don`t know. Well it seem like it took forever for that mess to kick in.....when it finally did....i was able to rest between contractions....unfortunately due to the pitocin...there wasn`t alot of time between each contraction. Oh yeah by this time my bestfriend was there....I couldn`t even say hi due to the pain :(......so after about 2 or 3 hours of basically non stop contractions....and excrusiating pian...my mom and bestfriend talk me into getting the epidural.......BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! I know this is getting long so I`ll get to the point......
I got the epidural.........and had a terrible REACTION..........instead of it taking over the bottom part of my body.....it took over my ENTIRE body........(The rest of this i was told....I dont remember a thing) .....I was non-responsive.....and unconsience.........Non of the dr or nurses knew what was going on....all my vitals were fine...i didn`t lose color so i could breathe.....but then Aaydens heart rate dropped.......everyone was made to leave the room......W/o any explaination as to what was going so wrong. At 9:38 pm I was rushed into the OR and Aayden was delivered at 9:42. I was still unconscience.....and Aaron was not allowed to come into the OR.....Once delivered everyone was allowed to see Aayden and he was then taken to the nursery....nobody was allowed to hold him or even take any pictures.....but he was HEALTHY!!!!
Finally I hear the nurse telling me to take in deep breathes....and I was able to respond....still couldn`t open my eyes....but this was the first time i was responsive since the epidural. Then I hear the dr tell me that I had the baby....I was like I did?.....I couldn`t open my eyes and I could bearly talk....due to the tube that they had put down my throat.......next thing I remember is asking where Aayden was.....and then I was out again......When I come to again.....I have these warming lights over me....I`m covered from head to toe in blankets and I have some kind of mask on my face....I couldn`t focus on anything......eventually i`m able to focus....and I recongonize Aaron and later my mom.....I`m so confused at this point....and finally I realize that I had a C-SECTION!!!! I was so upset.....I was so worried about Aayden....It was 12 00 midnight the first time I looked at the clock.....It`s been over 2 hours and I still have not seen my baby.....I remember talking to my mom, Aaron, my bestfriend and her fiance....and then I was out again. I woke up again a lil after 1 am....I was being held in recovery until my body temp reached 97 degrees....it finally did at about 1:15.....I was finally about to go to my room and see my baby.
So at 1 30 I finally got to see my Aayden for the very fist time!!!!! I was happy and sad at the same time....I was so excited to see him...yet I was upset that he had to be alone in the nursery for the first 4 hours of his life. But I rose above the saddness and the terrible pain that I was in and I fell in LOVE with my Aayden!!!!

Hey! Sorry it took me so long to get back here! Baby girl - Taylyn Jane born on June 21, 2008 at 7:43 am! She weighed 6lbs 5oz and was 18 inches long! She is teeny and perfect! I went into labor after a dr appt! I was so worried because I knew she was still breech. After 12 hours we went to the hospital (2am) and by 6 am they planned on the c-section at the dr's arrival! Thank you sooo much for sharing your story with me! It made the experience so much better! They c-section was scarey, but NOT as bad as I imagined! The recovery has been a breeze! We have been fighting bronchitis...first me, then Taylyn, now my husband...we have had a rough few weeks! We are all on the mend now and looking forward to enjoying our new family a little more! (Imagine deep, painful coughing with a fresh c-section! I swear after the first day, I was just numb!) It was pretty scary to have a sick baby only a week old. I didn't even know that babies that young could get sick. We seem to have survived it all and hopefully we can enjoy the rest of the summer! glad to hear you've been at the beach...I'm jealous! Hope all is well with you!!! Will try to add photo to my site today:)
