Aiden is here

Well as I posted earlier we were induced on 12/24/10 we had to be at the hospitial @6 am not sure why cause nothing really started happening until 7:30 - 8 but got there they started my IV and the doc came in a little after 8 to break my water and check me I was 4 cm and they started the drip of pitocin they said would start slow and then increase dr also told nurse as soon as I started to feel uncomfortable to get the epidural so things were going good contractions were comming but nothing I could not handle as time went on the nurse increased things as I started to feel them become strong I told her to go a head and let them know I was ready cause I knew they were not going to be right up to do it that it does take time well after the nurse got everything all set up she called to get the epidural and came back in like ten mins later and said they would not be doing one cause this being christmas eve the OR were closed and unstaffed so no one would be there to monitor at this point I lost it not because I was in pain but because my plan and the way things were suppose to go was not going to happen my doc was so upset said he was so sorry and he was never notified and that it would be address well at this point not like much I can do not like i can turn back lol well they said that I was going to get something called duramorpih well they came in to do and the guy tried like 8 times to get it in and none the less it didnt work so here I was in full blown labor doin it all on my own the contractins were not that bad it was the pressure that was hard to handle well none the less I went from 5cm to complete in less then 45 mins doc got there and 6 pushes later I had my baby boy Aiden James 12/24 @12:38pm he was 7 lbs 6oz 21 inch long !!!! Words alone can not tell how i felt to see my baby and become a mom I am glad that I had the exsperience that I did and that it was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be None the less we are now home and things are going great I love baby boy and love just spending time with him good luck to everyone still pregnant and to those that have had there baby congrats again and again will post some pics thanks for all the advice and support through this journey
