Emily Noelle's Birth Story

Had to be at the hospital at 6am. Dr broke my water at 8:30am. Contractions started getting intense after that...got spinal block at 10:30am (was supposed to have epi but stupid person was training and screwed up). That lasted maybe 2 hours, then every 15 to 20 mins after that they had to keep rigging me up with more numbing pain meds...dr was even by my side while I was pushing getting ready to put more in my IV just incase it wore off while pushing. Anyways, by 5:23pm I was 10 centimeters and nurse told me I was ready to push!! Jeff held one leg and the nurse held the other, I grabbed onto my thighs and pushed pushed pushed till 6:15pm when I finally heard my baby girl cry!! I exploded with emotions at that very second, bawling my eyes out and my body started shaking uncontrollably! The love I felt for my baby girl at that very second with without a doubt the most intense feeling I have ever felt, and it's done nothing but get stronger with every passing day!!!! Since the birth, I have gone thru horrible spinal headaches, with 3 blood patches. Probably the worst pain I have ever experienced! Glad to say that the 3rd one finally worked and I'm in no more pain, headache wise that is!! I would do it all over again with the same consequences just to have my beautiful baby girl with me!!

	Comment from sydmama » Posted Apr. 5, 2012 7:38am Right now i feel like puking lol. Maybe because I am so hungry. Did the nurse mention that it could he a bladder infection or anything? Just super common in early pregnancy. At least the antibiotic will take care of whatever it is. Today i am watching my niece who is 4 months old, and cleaning. I fell so behind on house work when I was working. Then when Daniel gets home I have to finish Easter shopping! I spent 96 dollars in the darn book store yesterday and was too depressed to spend anymore lol! Ugh. But that's my day I suppose.

	Comment from sydmama » Posted Apr. 4, 2012 8:43am I just quit my job at the hotel I was working night audit in because i was staying awake for days and days because as soon as i returned home from work, my husband would have to leave and my kids would wake up. So needless to say, I was super super exhausted. I always napped and hardly had time for my girls. So today I am well rested and taking Norah and Amariah shopping and to lunch. With all that being said, I gotta get off of here. I posted some pics I would love if you check them out. I want to post more later. But i will catch you on here later!! Have a good day mama!
