baby!

posted this on the olde preggo blog, but just in case anyone hasn't wandered over there yet, here you go..

ok, so short and to the point, because I'm tired, and frankly would rather be hanging out with my sweet boy or napping than sitting in this remarkably uncomfy chair at the computer.

woke up at about 2am Saturday with contractions, they were far apart though, so we just sat tight and I went back to sleep. Woke up at about 3:30, they had progressed to what I would say is fairly painful and about 5 minutes apart. Woke everybody up and headed to the hospital. 12.5 hours, GBS antibiotics, phentenol, laughing gas, and a pedundal block later, I have this to show for it.

I wouldn't rush out and do it again, it was really painful and incredibly tiring, and every part of me aches still. It wasn't absolutely horrible though, and I think I managed pretty well. I'm amazed at myself, and what my body knows how to do, and what the last 9 months have given us. I'm way more hormonal now than I ever was while pregnant, my stomach is just...horrific, lol, but that's to be expected, and I'm so tired I could fall over. And it's so worth it. I'm going to go look at my baby. He's so soft and perfect and I just want to look at him and touch him and sniff him all the time.

More later when things settle down.
