I was born on September 25th at 5:13 p.m. I weighed 7lb 11oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. When they pulled me from my mommy's tummy, I immediately started screaming. I think they liked that. I was just really happy to be out - it had been a long journey.
My mommy's water broke while she was in bed. It was 12:55. She wasn't sure what had happened. When she realized it was time for me to come, she called Gam'ma and then left for the hospital. The doctors in the evaluation center said that it was time for me to come and mommy was put into a labor and delivery room. She was very lucky that the doctor on call offered her an epidural as soon as her blood work came back, even though she was only 1cm dilated. She felt very little pain while she progressed to 10cm. At about 1 something, the nurse told mommy to start pushing. She pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed...for over three hours. The doctor on call finally came in to check to see how mommy and I were doing. She thought mommy wasn't trying her best so she every time mommy had a contraction, that mean doctor yelled at her and told her to try harder. Mommy was exhausted and finally had to quit. The nurse thought I might be stuck on something but that doctor didn't seem to care. When mommy quit, they took her to the operating room and got me out. My daddy got to see and hold me for a little bit but I didn't get to see my mommy until 9 something - about 4 hours after I was born.
We had to stay in the hospital for 3 days. I was really fussy my first and second night at home. Last night, I only woke up twice! I thought it was about time for mommy and daddy to get some sleep. Maybe I'll let them get more sleep tonight too.
I love the picture with Grandma and that's a great one of all 3 of you!
