akira is finally here!!!
Well, it wasn't an easy delivery, I'll tell you that much right now...
After being turned away from the hospital many times, we really didn't know when our baby boy would come into this world. We were actually getting really depressed because people kept asking us "so have you had that baby yet?" every time someone would ask I would almost end up crying bc I was so depressed... On the night of October 6th (my Grandma's (that passed away's) birthday) I started to feel very heavy contractions that would almost bring a person to their knees. We rushed to the hospital and SURPRISE! I was in the second stage of labor. But Akira was still posterior. He needed to drop a little more so the nurse said to walk. And walk we did until the contractions grew stronger and I had dialated even more and effaced to 80%. Our nurse (nurse Jamie) knew it was our time and admitted us to the hospital. The nurse said that I still needed to dialated and I also needed my bag of water to break but now I was completely 100% effaced after an hour had passed. The contractions were getting really bad so she suggested light walking and hot baths to help things a long. After I could walk no more, Thad started to draw hot/warm baths for me. He was always asking how I was doing and what he could do to make things better. At about three am, Dr.Haye stepped in and decided to break my water (YAY!). When my water was broken it felt like I had pee'd my pants lol. At three am my anasthesiologist (or however you spell it) came in and asked me about my pain management. I asked him if I could have the Epidural since the pain was getting so bad. First he gave me a shot to take the edge off and numb the area where the Epidural would be placed. At 4am I got my Epidural and it turns out that the only thing that is in the Epidural is called Phentanol or Fentanol I cannot remember how it's spelled. He had a hard time finding a spot to put it in. But after it was put in, I was good to go. I even had a little button to push when I needed more pain relief. After that it was wait, wait, wait because everyone thought that I was going to deliver vaginally. Even I thought I was. They had been monitoring me and Akira to keep track of how we were doing. All throughout this time Thad was getting me water, ice chips, sprite, ect. :) At 11:00am when the doc came in to check me, he had noticed that the baby's oxygen level was dropping dangerously low and had me taken over to the OR for an emergency C-Section. I had never been so afraid in my entire life. I thought I was going to lose my little boy. They wheeled me down on a gurney and I started to shake tremendously. After they administered more anasthetic and made sure that I was numb from the waist down, they began to cut. I couldn't feel anything. .... at 12 noon akira was born happy and 100% healthy. I'm in a lot of pain now but it was all worth it.We love our baby bear :)
