New baby in the house

I never thought this day would come where I could hold my baby in my arms. I found out I was pregnant in the middle of April 2006, by a two home pregnancy tests. I could not believe the first one so i took another one to make sure there was nothing wrong with the first test. And sure enough it was positive. I visited the dr. on april 30th and that was the day I found out for sure that I was pregnant by a drs. pregnancy test. I told the dr. that I took two home tests and he told me that if I took two home tests and they came out positive that there was a good chance I was pregnant. So he did the test for me anyways and it was def. positive. I never really had that bad of mornings. I would just feel sick in my tummy but never got sick. I always got rid of the sickness by eating a piece of toast. I could not eat anything else till I ate my toast. Then I went at the end of May for my first ultrasound to find out my due date. They told me my due date was December 5th 2006. So by the first ultrasound I was 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant. They scheduled my next ultrasound. July 22nd. That was the day we were to find out what we were having. They got him up on the screen and there was no doubt he is a BOY. You could not miss it. They printed out so many pictures of him for me. Pictures of his face in 4D. It looked like I was looking him right in the face. And you know it is funny. I looked at the ultrasound pictures and him when he was born and he looks just like the ultrasound pics. How Amazing the technology they have now. So months and months went by and I kept growing and growing. Before I was preg I weighed 120lbs and right before I delivered I weighed 167lbs....WOAH......Every Drs. appointment went fine month by month. All my bloodwork went great. No signs of any problems. Then I went to my last drs. appointment on December 5th in the morning at 9:30am. They wanted to do a stress test on the baby that sees how the baby is dealing with the pregnancy since I had not had him yet. They put my on a monitor to monitor the heart rate when I was having contractions. His heart rate dropped once. So the nurse wanted the dr. to do an ultrasound to see if the baby was moving properly because I had told her the baby was not moving as much as he used to. So I went into the drs room and the ultrasound confirmed that. He would not move once. So the dr. stripped my membranes and sent me off the the Labor and Delivery in the hospital to be induced because he felt it was time for the baby to come out soon. However by the time I got there My contractions were comming more often and the nurses wanted to let things go on naturally. I started having regular contractions around 11:30am. I was able to eat lunch before they decided to five me anything. They gave me some Ptossin to help things move along. When I got that my contractions came every 1-3 minutes. And stronger by the hour. By the time i was 2 centimeters I was in alot of pain. Finally I ok'd the nurse to get the anastheologist for an epidural. I waited as long as I could because I was scared more to get the epidural than anything. But actually it really did not hurt. The contractions hurt more. It took them awhile to get it in because everytime I had a contraction they had to wait. Then about an hour later the Dr. broke my water. It was nice to see the screen that showed my contractions and not feel any of them. I was about 3 centimeters by then. About 2 hours after breaking my water I felt like I had to push. The nurse said she wanted to check my cervix first. So she checked me and I was already 9 centimeters. So the dr then came in and checked me and she said his head was right there and it was time to push when I felt the urge. I could feel him moving down. Then at 10:26pm He came out. I only pushed for 12 minutes. A beautiful baby boy weighing in at 6lbs 10.6oz and 21 inches in length. It was so amazing. Tears of joy filled the room as he lay there on my chest for the first time.
