Kyle's birth story
I know its been almost 2 years since I had Kyle but I wanted a record of his birth story. I thought that he might want to read it someday. His due date was June 13th I went in May 30th because I felt like my water may have ruptured because I was a little wet. The doctor checked me and it wasn't my water so they sent me home. I was scheduled to be induced June 7th but I was trying to go into labor before then. My water has never broke on its own so I wasn't expecting it to this time either. June 6th I got everything ready for him to come. Dev and I went to walmart to get some nursing bras and some other items I knew I would need. I had a hard time sleeping that night because I was just to anxious to meet my little boy. Finally the alarm clock went off at 6:00 am and I got up and showered and ate breakfast. We got a phone call around 6:30 am to head over to the hospital to get induced. It took about 2 hours for them to start me on pitocin so we were just sitting around talking and waiting. My dad showed up around 9:00 and I was on pitocin by that time. The contractions really started kicking in around 10:00 am. I remember my hips just hurting so bad so I asked for an epidural. The anesthesiologist came in and asked me to turn over on my side, which I thought was weird because with my other two labors I was sitting up and hunched over. I was really nervous that he wouldn't be able to see my spine and I was just shaking a little bit because I didn't want him to screw up and paralyze me. It went in and it did numb me but where my pain really was the epidural didn't even touch it(My hips). So I wish I would have just gone natural with Kyle because I still felt the contractions really bad in my hips. The next two hours after the epidural were really painful and I was so irritable with Devin. I just wanted to see my little boy the nurses came in and checked me and I was dilated to 9 centimeters around 1:15 so they called the doctor. He came in and my little guy was ready to join us I pushed 4 times and the doctor pulled him out. He had the cutest cry I have ever heard he sounded like a rooster :)His blood sugar was really low and he was blue a little bit so they had to take him for a little while to work on him. Devin never left his side he was such a proud daddy! I was shaking really bad so I ate some food to get my blood sugar up and to get my strength back. They moved me into a recovery room and then everyone came to visit at one time it seemed. We had Grams, Trina, Chrissy, Kailee, Coltin, My dad, Julie, My mom. It seemed like everyone just wanted to show up at the same time. I wasn't feeling well because I was still on pitocin so I was still in a lot of pain. I finally had some peace and quiet with my little man he was perfect! Just a beautiful baby I felt so much joy and couldn't wait to take him home. His blood sugar finally came up to where it needed to be so we were able to take him home. He breast fed like a champ he didn't have a hard time latching on at all which was nice. The first 3 months he was colicky and had acid reflux so Dev and I didn't get any sleep. It was exhausting but after he got passed all that he was just the perfect sleeper and the perfect baby. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He makes us laugh everyday and is just a character! I love my life!
