Why'd he make me do dishes???
So I had a feeling this little guy was gonna be born at 2am yesterday because I had some blood when I peed and that didn't happen with my other 2 kiddos. So I went on about the day did some shopping walking and playing with my other 2 because something happened with some Ninja's and we had to defeat them.
I started timing contractions around 1 pm as we were driving and while we were shopping at safeway/vons and they were getting stronger and closer together.
When we got home my husband got the groceries put away and I took a shower to see if it would stop the contractions and it did for like 5 minutes. So I started getting my stuff ready.
"Rae, come wash the dishes and get your mind off the pain" is what my husband said 😂😂😂😂 and then he started cooking and I'm like "dude if you don't hurry up, we need to fit to the hospital now." He kept joking around, finished cooking and I actually finished the dishes. 😎
Then as I was like come on let's go my little ones were frantically looking for toys to bring, shoes to wear and their pj's cause at this time it's about 4. My sis in law and mother in law were supposed to watch them so when we finally get everything together and to the car we head to their apartment...guess what NOBODY IS THERE!!!!!
for some strange reason they decide to drive to our house😂😂😂😂 I'm contracting and in shock like what are we gonna do?
I finally get in touch with them and just tell them to meet us at the hospital.
Once there I go to L&D and what kept going through my mind is "false labor" they are gonna send me home or ima be at like 1 centimeter. I was panicking.
So I get checked in what im hoping is my last bump pucture and then put on monitors. The contractions are getting a bit stronger and hubby keeps saying "no epidural"
Nurse comes in finally to check me and I'm at 7 freaking centimeters dilated. I'm in shock and denial like "no its false labor, ima get se.t home" nope, this thing is really happening.
To keep it short and sweet I get the epidural at 8 centimeters and it takes forever because the contractions and pressure and I have ever a difficult time relaxing. All while getting the epidural I'm completely distracted to get my mind off everything and watching WWE divas match (my girl sasha banks got her title back) anyways epidural finally in and I'm starting to relax. They check me maybe 15 min later and I'm at a 9 and then a 10.
I honestly don't know how many times I pushed buuuuut I got to pull out my sweet little boy and it was slimy and amazing to be able to pull him out and put him on my chest. We did skin to skin for a while then he nursed like a pro. I'm so thankful to God for my 3rd blessing.
My sweet Hendrix Journey Nirvana Wilson 6lbs 15oz 19.6in at 9:38 last night. A great labor I had. I'm just ready for some starbucks with espresso shots now. 😍😍😍 I love this little guy.
