My beautiful baby boy is here! 😍
Now that I'm home and settled, I can tell all about my handsome baby boy's arrival. 
Mr. Cameron Noel was stubborn right until the very end born 4 days past his due date on July 5 at 11:34am.
L&D wasn't easy, but the staff was amazing and made it feel like it was a breeze. I agreed to very small dose of pitocin to get me started once my OB decided to admit me because my contractions were becoming unbearable. Everything from that point on progressed quickly. My EPI came right on time because HONEY, the pitocin contractions were picking up steam.
I was briefly stuck at a 9, but when it was time to push...Boy! Did I ever underestimate childbirth! Lol!
An hour of my pushing was spent trying to get his head out. I cannot count how many times my mother, mom-in-law, grandma, and husband said, "He's right there!" in that hour 😂😂😂 After my last, give-my-all push, I was holding my baby love. 💙
I'm thankful to God for my connection to my husband because even though I had my amazing team of women there, he knew I needed him. Putting his fear of the gore and passing out to the side, he coached me through it.
Now that we're home, I've learned that I also underestimated the diffuculties that come with breastfeeding. My nipples are cracked with one blistered, even with all the time I spent with the lactation consultants in the hospital. I know it's all about learning on my end and Cam's, but I hope my milk will come in sooner rather than later so I can pump.
I have also been extremely emotional. I have felt defeated in these 2 days that have passed, but I've also been hit with an overwhelming feeling of gratefulness. It's hard for me to look at my baby and not cry at the sheer miracle of it all. I do the same with my husband, as I see the love in his eyes he has for our son. I'm just thankful, ladies. Praise God for His many blessings! 🙏🏾
Now, as my son loudly blows out his diaper...I must go 😳
