BABY MECCA HAS ARRIVED 🎉🎁🎉🎁

We were set for induction Wednesday morning at 6am but life had other plans as always

I started my day off running errands and on my way to drop my 5 year old off at my grandma's house over an hour away I started feeling the absolute worst back pain! Knowing that I was already at 4 cm I couldn't risk driving an hour down then getting stuck in traffic coming back up so I made the decision to drop my son off at his daycare provider and hustle 10 mins away to my hospital of choice.

Once I got up and moved around the pain weined off and I figured I'd get checked anyway just for security sake then get sent home until induction day... After a few hours on the monitor and several checks it was decided by the doctor to go ahead and admit me to begin induction since I was contacting and already 5 days past due!

Once I got the green light my tiny little heart lit up with joy and I couldn't wait to see my baby boy. They started me out at a 2 on the pitocin drip which is where I stayed all night until some hours before shift change then I got bumped to a 4 and started feeling the contractions in my butt!! My epidural was perfect I couldn't feel the pain of any contractions through the night but I could feel and move my legs and lower body as well as feel my uterus contacting on the top part of my stomach.. once shift change happened I was so happy to get my original nurse back from the afternoon before and a doctor that was ready to get it on and popping... Literally!! He came in to check me and didn't hesitate to get the hook and break my water ... Glad he did too cause baby boy decided to take his first poo in there

Once my water was broken it was off to the races! The pain in my ass with the contractions and the pressure from his head brought tears to my eyes! I couldn't close my legs and nothing brought me any type of relief ... Good thing is I went to a ten in less than 30 mins from about an 8 when my water was broken and that was just enough time to get everyone in position and get me pushing !

Its true what they say, bearing down on those contactions is like no other relief in this world it feels absolutely amazing to focus that pain somewhere and even tho you don't want to feel that head or those shoulders coming out you'd much rather see your baby than to be a quitter... So after three good contractions and pushing with all I had in me he was out, he was crying and he was BIG! I'm 139 on a good day and only 5'3. My first was 5'11 and baby Mecca decided to make up for wasted space by being 8 lbs 9 oz 21 inches long!!

He was so beautiful when I saw him I almost couldn't believe he was mine. I'm so happy he is here and only a day before my mom's birthday!!!
