My birth story - it's long!
My son Shia (Shy-uh) Michael was brought into this world this morning at 10:01. He weighed 7.7 lbs and measured 20.25 inches.
My water broke last night at 7:30 and my husband and I went to the hospital to confirm that it was in fact amniotic fluid - which it was. I was exactly 39 weeks pregnant.
Contractions picked up around midnight and I decided to try out the tub before resorting to stronger pain management methods. It did end up relaxing me for a bit - maybe a half hour - before I'd had enough and could no longer sit in the same position. I got out and made the decision to get an epidural. It ended up working really well, for about an hour, before I started to feel the contractions on my right side. The nurse called back the anesthesiologist, who tweaked the position of the catheter - granting me about one more hour of relief before I started feeling horrific back pain. The nurse and I couldn't decide if the pain was from contractions, or my limited position on the bed. Before long I started to feel contractions again and the anesthesiologist was again called back. I was in misery - I can't lie. Me, my husband, and the doctor discussed what the next step should be. Long story short, he added a good amount of lidocaine to the epidural line, which did nothing. Finally, he okayed a large dose of fentanyl to be given via IV. That did the trick - for about 15 minutes. By this point I was 9 cm dilated and 90% effaced. It was time to face the pain and work to get my baby out.
I really have no idea how long I pushed, but I think it's safe to say that it was under an hour.
Thankfully the numbing medicine via the epidural worked directly below my hips, so I was free from feeling the episiotomy and resulting stitches.
It's true what they say - once you see your child pop out into this world, all the hell you had to go through to get there is instantly forgotten. I couldn't be more in love and I wouldn't change a thing!

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Congrats 💙
