My last post was about quatrefoils…the shamrock shape. I knew I wasn’t feeling great, and hadn’t gone in the garage all day to work on any projects, so I was blogging about lil G instead.
At 3:30, I got concerned b/c I hadn’t felt the baby move too much. I figured there just isn’t enough room left! Husband and I headed to the hospital.
Little did I know that I was 4 cm and they admitted me…lucky me, b/c due to the gnarly full moon going on, the hospital beds were FULL in labor and delivery…so I got in just….in…..time.
With 5 c-sections planned that night alone, the nurse was being very cautious and said she’d get the epidural started right away before administering pitocin. She knew that I had very fast deliveries and didn’t want me to get too far along before needing the meds.
Lucky me!
9pm epidural. Heaven!
9:15 pitocin. Who knew?
12:43 am. Baby Ashton is born!
So this labor was totally different…I had no pain. Amen!
He’s such a nugget and at 6 lb. 5 oz, weighed in much heavier than lil G, who was 4 lb. 11 oz.
Needless to say, I’ve been a basket case ever since. Tired, grumpy, hormonal, achy. 🙂 All par for the course and I continue to remind myself how far we came to get here.
So I try to count my blessings and remind myself that life is good…and very lucky!
