Tuesday I got up at 5:45am, got dressed ate breakfast, brought Matt to work, I went to work till 3pm, picked Matt up from work and we went to our ultrasound for 4:15pm where we got the news there was not alot of fluid and I needed to go up to the maternity ward to go on a monitor for Joshua. Then were told we were staying and I was being induced later tomorrow (Wednesday). Matt wet outside to call all our parents and let them know. I was not dilated at all and the gave me Cervidil to soften my cervix, the doctor told me to hurry up and order dinner gave me a rundown of what to expect tomorrow and then I was alone in the room, shed a few tears from being overwhelmed & worried & text Matt to hurry back up. The cervidil was due to come out at 6am & then I would be induced later on Wednesday morning. They gave me 2 Ambien because they wanted me to rest & have a good nights sleep. Did not happen, contractions came & I was up moving around in the bathroom and got maybe an hour if that sleep. 5am I asked to go in the tub to relax because the contractions were pretty strong so they took out the Cervidil and let me get in. Tub= very relaxed for the contractions, too relaxed. LOL 10 mins in the tub and my water broke and I was being pulled out to get on the table and be checked. 4cm dilated.... then the contractions started coming really fast I asked if there something I could take to slow it down or relax me between because I was so tired from no sleep I wanted to be ready for later. The nurse said there was something they could give me to relax & be sleepy but when they checked me I was 9cm and then the Nurse said its too late & sent the other nurse to get the doctor. Too late? thought I was being induced?? LOL... So One hour of labor & at 8:18am Wednesday Joshua was out & laying on my chest. The whole time in labor I kept my eyes closed & focused for the most part on breathing, Matt was amazing he held my right hand rubbed my leg & kept telling me to breathe the nurse rubbed my other leg and did the same as she prepped the doctor. Pushing was intense when i got the okay to go for it. In between contractions I could hear the doctor & Matt joking & talking, the phone rang and they were like who is calling you, then i remembered my mom was gonna call and visit before I was induced, Matt ran & picked up the phone & hung it up. Then I heard Matt say during the next push I said I wouldnt look but I got to, he let go of my hand looked and said look at his alfalfa hairs push push!!! He grabbed my hand and the next contractions I pushed, pushed heard the nurse say push hard Amy right thru the burning, i was like what burning? and then it burned & Joshua was out and crying. He was wiped real quick and on my chest for Matt to cut the umbilical cord. I looked at him shocked that it was over. They took Joshua to weigh him and check him over. 15 mins after pushing him out Matt and I looked at each other and we were like huh, guess we should both call out of work now. LOL...
Im off to feed Joshua & got to bed. I will finish writing tomorrow... =)
I wanted to finish this last night but ran out of time.
The stay at the hospital was nice, the nurses were amazing in the maternity ward and they were all in love with Joshua. They tried to steal him both nights to let us sleep in between feedings.=) All the visitors that came, the flowers, balloons, gifts looked like we were having a party.LOL Was so surprised, being only at his new job for a week Matts new work sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a ceramic bear pot with balloons attached and an adorable stuffed bear for Joshua. On top of giving him this week off paid to be with me & Joshua. Speaking of Matt, he has been amazing & right here for everything, I felt bad the last couple days having to rely on him for alot because I was in pain, slow moving & lack of sleep. He even ordered my breakfast after the birth and fed me pancakes while breast feeding Joshua for the first time.He is an amazing Dad and its only been 4 days. He wants to do everything regardless if I need help or not. He ran out to stores and to get food today twice, and called me multiple times to check on us. I think he is gonna have a hard time Tuesday going back to work. Joshua & I are very lucky to have him, he takes very good care of us both. I love listening to him talk to Joshua about all the things he cant wait to do with him. =)
I will update again at another time... Gotta feed Wiggles and go to bed till the next round=
