He is finally here 💙🎉

On Friday October 11th around 6pm I started feeling contractions. Was not sure if it was the real deal at the time but I started to time them anyways. They where starting to hurt in my back in between contractions. Agin I was still not sure if this was the real deal or not. Got up and walked and still had them and got on my ball and was still having them. My fiancé went to get us pizza for supper at 6pm. he came home I was still having them and we ate and after 2 hours of contractions we called my doctor and he said to come in and they well have a look. My contractions where 2 to 3 minutes apart lasting around 1 minute. In the car to the hospital around 8pm there was an 8 mins in between one of my Contractions so in that 8 mints we though oh great they are going to stop now. But then I got a really good one and after we High-fived lol we where so happy that it was still happening. Got to the hospital they got me in a bed hocked me all up and my doctor showed up and he checked me. I was 3cm and 90% when I got to the hospital. So they wanted to watch baby’s heart and my contractions. About 2 hours later my doctor came back my contractions where getting more intense so he checked me agin and I was at 4cm and 100% he could not feel my water sack. He said baby was so low it was like the sack was right tight to his head. My water never did brake. Just came out with him.

So they said that we well be having baby and they where getting the labor room ready for me. After we got in the labor room I got my epidural. It didn’t fully work I could feel my contractions on my left side of my belly but everywhere else was frozen. After the epidural my doctor checked me agin and I was now at 7cm. At this point I had no idea what time it was anymore. After some time we thought I was ready to push but then I was not after a little more time or hours not sure lol then I really was ready I could feel something setting in my but and when I would have an contractions I wanted to push so bad. My doctor came back again and it was go time. Not sure how long I was pushing for I end up having to be cute to get his shoulders out. And then 3 more good push’s and he was here. At 3:49am Saturday morning October 12th. 6 pounds 13 ounces and 20 inches our boy was finally hear. I was 40 weeks and 5 days overdue

We are home and had our first night at home last night and where able to have thanksgiving dinner with some family last night. We are all doing well I’m a little sore but that’s to be expected.

Good luck to you mamas still waiting I thought my day was never going to come. Try to rest as much as you can.
