Wednesday May 1st I had my last drs appt, get paper work done and make sure everything was scheduled for our original scheduled delivery for Friday May 3rd. So Tuesday I was having sharp stabbing knife pains in my lady parts, painful to the point that I would buckle at the knees! So I rested as much as a preparing mother could and waited to talk to my dr in the morning. When I got to the drs office I was still having those wonderful pains and so they put me on the monitors to check me out and make sure Joseph was fine.
After 30mins on the monitors my dr came in and said I am in early labor....SAY WHAT?!?! I don't do labor. My body has never responded to labor. Dr you are wrong haha no way I am in labor. ;) 3rd times a charm cause my contractions (those pains) were 10-15mins apart. So nothing major and nothing to be alarmed by and rush me to the OR. No cervix change (no surprise there) so dr sent me home after telling me he didn't want to wait two days til my repeat c section and he moved me up a day and to be at the hospital at 7:30am! Oh crap! So I went home. Continued to labor but it did start to taper off if I was laying down relaxing.
Thursday morning came into the hospital at 7:30, c section is scheduled at 9:30, got all suited up, lady that put my IV in missed and instead of taking it out and trying again they fished around in there which caused me to pass out and become hot and sweaty light headed and my hearing was off. Double vision. All the fun stuff, nurse said I passed out for about a min. And lost my tongue ring since I took it out before they started the IV but didn't have the ball attached. :/ oh well. They were all ready to go by 8:20 for surgery, and I wasn't. Since they told me surgery would be at 9:30 my mom dropped the girls off at 8:20 with my friend and was on her way, she got there by 8:45. This is where everything picks up speed! We were in the OR starting surgery at 9:05, Joseph came out a short 2mins later! And I was closed up and done at 9:20!!!!! 15mins!!!!! My mom got to hold Joseph next to me while they closed me back up and boy does he look like his sisters! They took Joseph to the nursery and me to recovery then at around 11:30 I finally got to hold and feed him! He latched on great! Has been nursing like a pro. I got some tips from the LC to make sure we keep our latch good and so Joseph doesn't get lazy. My milk came in 24hrs. At 24hrs old Joseph had only lost 6oz. And all day yesterday he kept at his 7lb weight and didn't lose any more :)) it's 9:20am and Joseph is 2 days old, and still perfect!!! We slept great last night, and we will hopefully be leaving in the next 2hrs. Whenever my dr is available to come discharge me. :)
