Boston is here!
Boston is here! He was born March 14th at 7:21 am. He was 7 lbs 4 oz and 21in long. He came a week early. We were at his grandparents eating dinner and my back started to hurt. I just thought that it was cause I was sitting too long. Then I went home and was in the bathroom and my water broke. I wasn't sure that was what it was at first cause I was expecting a lot more. So I called my doctor and he was like, yup you better get to the hospital. We hopped in the car and I was admitted into labor and delivery. This was at about 8 pm the night before. I got the epideral and they put me on pottasim(?) but the epideral only worked on half of my body so I was dillated to a 10 and could feel everything on my left side. Then I got really sick from all the medication and was throwing up all night, during labor, when I was pushing, when they handed him to me- It was horrible! WHen they told me to start pushing I was allready so exhausted from being sick and on top of that I was pushing for 3 hours. Boston was stuck under my pubic bone and would not come out. FINALLY they got the doctor in there and he got the suction thingy and they pulled him out. All I can say is that it was the most physically demanding thing I had ever done. I was so exhausted afterward all I wanted to do is sleep. Now Boston is 3 1/2 weeks old and is doing good. He is getting bigger and bigger every day. Sad to say Our camera was STOLEN at the hospital.. so all of our pictures are gone!! These are from our phones. I will post more as we get them

Oh no!!!! I'm so sorry you had such a tough time. My epidural didn't work with my 1st either. It's horrible, especially because you're not prepared for that. I was SO freaked out to do it again, but the 2nd time was SO EASY!! Hopefully it will be that way for you next time.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe someone stole your camera!!! Ahhh...that's so sad. At lest you have a few from your phones. He looks adorable though. Congrats. You'll be such a great Mom.
Jess! Congrats! Sounds like quite the delivery-definitely makes you realize it really is LABOR! (I never really thought about why it was called labor until I actually went through it:) He is such a beautiful baby! Enjoy this newborn stage because it flies by. . . As you can see Julianne is huge now! Hope to see you and that cute baby soon. Let me know if you are coming to town!
