the boy is here

It has been a month now since I’ve given birth but it sure
feels like forever already. The baby has brought so
much joy and happiness into our lives that I cant imagine life without him.

So, let me just give you a little play by play on
what happened during the day I delivered Jameson.

It was January 21st when we initially went to the hospital
but we got sent home since I was not having any labor
pains. The doctor told us to come back the next morning
so we could extract the baby by means of induction ( to
fake the labor )

On January 22nd we returned to the hospital early morning
and the put me right into the high risk pregnancy unit. We had pre-requested that
we be put into the HRP because care is so much better and it is much more
comfortable for the patient.

We waited for me to have labor pains but none came.
At around 2 pm I started to have some minor cramping
and doctor told me that it was the actual labor we had been
waiting for.

At 4 pm the pain got worse but I was not far along enough for me to
deliver the baby. I was only at 3 CM by then. it was 5 pm when
the pain became real and my OB decided it was time for
me to get an epidural shot. They moved me from one bed to
another and brought me in to the surgery room, they flipped me
like a pancake and stuck the needle right into my spine
like it was just nothing.

By this time I was so out of it that I didn’t know what was going on. Everything
from that point was blurry to me. I have bits and pieces of memory but not the
whole thing really. My husband told me that the baby’s heart
rate got dangerously low so my OB decided that it was
time for me to go under CS surgery to avoid the risk of losing the baby.

Cory decided that he needed to give me a priesthood blessing so he asked the doctors
and nurses to leave the room. They didn’t want to so he kicked them out and told them
that he would only be a minute. They told him to hurry so he shut the door and gave me the blessing.
Shortly after, I went into surgury. 45 minutes later little Jameson was born.

I woke up on January 23rd and wondered what had happened. Cory filled me in
on the story. I first saw my Baby Jameson at around 10:00 am when the nurses took
him in to my private room to room in with me for the next 5 days that we were at the hopsital
recoperating from surgery.

Now, Jameson is home and we are enjoying every minute of it.
