As I was getting ready for bed late Sunday night about 1am my water broke (or at least what I thought was my water.) Seeing as how we had a scheduled appointment for delivery the very next morning on Monday at 7 am I wasn't sure weather to wait, or go right then ... So, Corey called the hospital and they told us to come now. We arrived at about 2 am. I was thinking (after having experienced a 26 hour start to finish with Lindsay) that we were going to be in for a very long night; followed by a very long long day; followed by a possible another long long night before he arrived. But what do I know .... I'm just the Mom and Beckham runs the show.
After being there from 2am until about 6am, not having really hard contractions, and being dilated to a 3-4 with the pitosin still dripping about 12 drips per hour the nurse/Dr. decided to break my water (again, I had already thought my water broke, but after he broke it ... clearly I was mistaken). At this point in time is when the fun began. My contractions came quicker and much much harder. My head must have spun around and my eyes must have rolled back, because I was so mean to Lindsay and Corey and told them both to MOVE because I could hear Lindsay chewing her gum and I could hear Corey breathing. They both just looked at each other and went to the other side of the room. I was on my own to deal with my contractions and then in a split second it all came to me. An epidural was requested ... an epidural was received ... and all was right with the world again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Heaven!!!! Lindsay crashed on my bed with me, Corey slept on the pull out bed and we were all ready to catch some ZZZZZZ. By this time it was about 7am.
About an hour later the nurse came in the room, woke me up, and said "Are you ready to have this Baby?" I was so out of it my thought was "ummmmmmm no ... I'm busy sleeping right now so can you come back around noon? I'll be ready then." Next thing I knew everything was set up, Dr. Wheeler was there and ready for me to push. Within a few minutes my son was here. He came in to this world at 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 20 inches long. It was amazing!
I LOVE HIM! Congratulations!!
