Will made his arrival into this world on April 20th 2009 at 6:55 am. He was delivered via c-section and weighed a whopping 9lbs and 5 ounces, he was 21 1/4 inches long as well! He is just perfect and we are so thankful for him! The story of his birth is quite remarkable...We were set to be induced on Monday the 20th at 5 a.m. But in true Will fashion he makes the rules so I had been awake since 1:45 b/c I just couldnt sleep, I started to contract and they felt a little stronger than normal so started to write them down. They werent to close together when all of sudden my water broke! It was 2:30 so I jmped out of bed and told Joey to get ready. Unfortunately there was no getting ready for me I was running around like a crazy women, but in a few short minutes we were on our way. As we got to Meth. G'Town my water completely broke, I guess the episode at home was just the beginning. I was then checked in and my labor had begun. Well I never said I had much tolerance for pain but things became unbearable fairly quickly I was 3-4 cm but my contractions were coming like every 2 minutes apart there was no time to relax. I asked for my epidural and thirty minutes later it was in! There was just one slight problem.....IT DIDNT TAKE! And this was the beginning if the end. Since I had the epidural the nurse prepared to cath me and I began bleeding. Next thing I knew there were people everywhere and I was being rushed to the operating room. Of course by this point I was crying hysterically and had no clue what was happening , all I knew was that since it was and emergency situation that Joey was not allowed to come with me. to make it even worse once in the OR I realized that it was still to early for my doctor to be in the hospital yeat and I did not know the dr that was coming to deliver Will. They tried to give me more meds through my epidural but it did not take as well so they had to put me to sleep....THE SCARIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!! But as soon as it started it was over I woke up in recovery and they said everything was fine and the Will was 9lbs and 5 ounces. So overall the bad situation ended up being a blessing b/c there is no way he would have come out! After it was all said and done I found out that the fear that turned my delivery into and emergency was that they believed my placenta had ruptured or was going to so the staff was proactive and kept me and my child safe, which I am eternally greatful for! We are especially greatful for Dave with anesthesia he took a video of Will getting weighed and emailed it to Joeys phone so that we had a part of the delivery to treasure, and not to forget to mention the rest of the l & d staff EVERYONE was amazing and I am blessed that we were cared for so well. I think thats about it for now Will is starting to stir so that means feeding time :) More to come later!
