My lil Ivy Lynn is here.

She was born on October 10th at 9:37pm.
Weighing in at 10lbs 13oz.
And was 21" long.

I was induced at 41 weeks, but ended up getting a cesarean because after 14 hours, and my water breaking at the beginning, I was stuck at 7cm.

I had a HORRIFYING birthing experience because the epidural they gave me didn't work, and then the medication they gave me for my c-section didn't work either and I felt EVERYTHING and they hadda put me to sleep because I was in histarics. lol

And then I ended up spending that night alone because hubby ended up going home and told the nurse to tell me he'd be back in the morning, but woke up late and never came back till 3 in the afternoon.
Ugh.

There's alot more to the story but I don't have the time.
But I will say, that what I went through makes me NEVER wanna get pregnant again... but it's only fair to hubby cuz he wants to try for "His Boy."
lol
