The day my life and family became complete

I had an appt at my OBGYN on tuesday Nov 16, it was my NST testing and regular ck up. I was cked and I was only 3cm dilated, I did start getting contractions that day. They at first were only about 8min apart and this is about 8pm, they became sharper so I decided to let Oni know that it might be time for us to take the pups to the Doggie Hotel and I took Akira to my moms, I showered Gena and got her ready to go to her grandparents home.... she came home with a fever so I didn't want her to get Akira sick if she had anything. After I took Akira the pain was closer to 6-7min apart Oni took off and dropped off the dogs, he at the time was getting babys room ready with his crib, the house was a mess.....I did pick up a tad! HAHA

We left the house around 9:20, Gena was with us and the inlaws met us there. I was cked again and I was only 3.5cm..........(Gena was gone minutes after we got there) They had us walking to make me dilate more,it was about 10:30 I think time went QUICK oh and the contractions were 2-3min apart! The walking made them stronger and it became difficult for me to walk anymore so we went back into the triage floor and I was 4cent it was about 11:45...I refused the epidural at that time.... I was determined to have him natural! (YIKES) They admitted me and straight to the delivery floor.......I didnt last long there. They broke my water... and I was given an IV and the pain started to become unbearable, I asked for IV meds....they gave me fentanal and it did reduce the pain but only by 5% it made it a little more comfortable, it was about 12am when I was given the IV ...it helped a bit. While I was on the monitor they noticed his heart beat was getting low....it made me nervous because it reminded me of Akiras labor thats what happened to her and I had to be on oxygen...he was ok after a while though....Poor Oni hadnt eaten so he went to grab food I told him Id be ok, besides his friends came over to see us funny I know but they were around the area so his g/f stayed wth me.... by then it was getting later, pain was harder and the meds werent helping anymore well Oni came back and he can see that I wasnt ok..... he came over to hold my hand and I told him it was hurting to much so the nurse came in, asked if I felt pressure and I screamed YES! his friends took off and I was cked I was 8cm.....grant it I was still having contractions! His heart beat got low again I was already on my side because of the pain.... I kept screaming and I grabbed Onis shirt... I started to cry it was so painful the pressure I felt, they cked me again and I was fully dilated. The Dr wasnt there yet, they had to get the inhouse Dr there was 7ppl from the ER in the room because of his heartbeat.... I started to hyperventilate due to the pain I was crying and screaming.....I think I crushed Onis hand all I can hear was "Lynnette breath u need to get on yr back hes coming " I honestly said "I CANT! IT HURTS" He was born half on my side and they grabbed my legs and delivered him from there his cord was wrapped around his head..=( he was ok I never got my legs on the bars to deliver him, once he was out I thought I was going to pass out.... I cried and started to breath easier , did I mention they put a mask on me?? I was cleaned up and he just cried he was handed over to me =) he was so small and precious.....

Due to him being born so quick he had brusing on his face... his sugars were low so they had to give him formula....I was sooo scared that this would happen! due to my gestational diabetes he was at risk I felt awful! overall after everything he was ok =) the nurses were great and so was the Dr that delivered him. He weighed in at 6lbs 11oz 20in long! Angel Lorenzo Ruiz was here and I was so exhausted but to excited to rest. He took quickly to breast feeding even though he was given formula....yay! While at the hospital everyone knew us as the ones who had a quick delovery and the baby that didnt wait haha..........I didnt know him being born so quick was a risk but I think its that he just rushed quick throught the birth canal...hmmm lol. Hes home now and is 6days old. He sleeps good feeds great! hes perfect <3

  2. How beautiful! What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing! I am sorry you were in so much pain, but I am sure that it was better for his health to arrive without the drugs in his system. You are doing the best you can Lynnette! I am proud of you!
