Brandie • Mommy to a happy 3y old 👦 and a 2y old 👧 (my prince and princess)

so it's been about a year and I haven't told my story... So here goes... so it's September 21st and I have a normal check up... or so I thought... I get told 2 thing's 1 they thought baby was breech (he wasn't)... and I thought it was just irritation to my skin down there so I brought it up to be safe... so they tested me for hsv1 and 2... I got told shortly after that I had hsv1 (cold sores)... but because I broke out down there I needed a C-section... (my bf at the time was cheating on me almost every night with anyone he could find... and some nights even brought them into my bed when I wasn't there... I was done with him ones I found this out)... anyways I had the date of my csection...

so the next couple days I pray not to go into labor just yet... so anyways fast forward to my C-section... I get there at 8am get all checked in... (oh I forgot I had to go to the ER for contractions and they told me he was down pretty far and I was dialated to a 1 already) so anyways I'm sitting in a room waiting to go for the C-section (the doctor is in an emergency C-section) it's 10:30am when I get in the room they got me prepared and told me I wasn't supposed to be groggy if I am to inform them... as soon as they put the spinal in I started feeling like I hadn't slept for months... so they tell me I'm okay after they reversed it and told me that my blood pressure dropped to a 60/33 which my normal is 124/80 (that's just a rough estimate and a number I have seen it at before) I was so scared for the rest of the time in the room I was puking up foam I remember hearing him cry and just bawling my eyes out saying I'm gonna make it repeatedly and hoping I did. it was scary... I remember looking over and thinking idk if I will actually make it off the table ( now mind you all I heard was there is to much fluid and then other nurses coming in)

so then I get wheeled up to the room where I end up falling asleep for most of the day and night... I was anemic... which is y my BP dropped so much... so I got a transfusion and was a little bit clearer but by the end of the first night my son's dad leaves us at the hospital all alone... (what?!? later on found out he went and slept with "my best friend") anyways little man was a healthy 7lbs 4ozs 19&3/4 long and with a head of about 14&3/4 and now this is him today healthy as ever and doesn't have what I have thank God!!

I couldn't ask for anything else... I'm also expecting baby #2 and super excited to have two amazing blessings around me everyday...
