"And i never have to see the sun again...there's enough light in your eyes to lighe up all the world...."....-atreyu As you know, i had the baby on the 10th. I consider myself lucky. someone loves me, i'm not sure if it's god or someone else..but someone loves me...i had a easy pregnancy (no morning sickness or swelling...) considering i was on my feet all day at work....and then my water broke (or a membrane ruptured one of the two) at 3:30 sunday morning...i called the dr's at 4 in the morning to see what was going on and if i needed to come in and the guy PUT ME ON HOLD!! how freaking busy are you at four in the morning? and why would you answer the phone if you're busy? anyway....so i kept leaking....since you all wanted to know that...dwayne calmed me down enough to grab two more hours of sleep, how he did that i don't know. he asked me if i wanted him to stay home or go to work...since i didnt know what was going on, i told him to go to work.....i called the doctor again around 7....and she asked if i wanted her to page the doctor or if i wanted to call back when the main office opened....i said i'd wait...then the more i thought about it....i called back and then the doctor called me and told me to come in as soon as possible....so yes, it was my water that broke, they signed me in and ....i was contracting but i couldn't feel them ....i was hoping they all felt like that....wishful thinking, i have. so at around 12:30 they put me on petocin to get the contractions hurting (damn them!) and then at 4:57 Dante was born in room 324 at holy spirit hospital....i wanted the midwife to deliver my baby...and that happened and she was great....(it's whoever is on call) and i had a wonderful nurse who was very helpful.....all went great and all the pushing was worth it. best part is, dante didnt rip me open so i didnt need stitches.....by the way...dwayne came to the hospital at 10 or so....the first night home was hell and i hated everything (lack of sleep) dwayne took off work for the week which was a help./....even though i still had to wake up every two hours to feed our angel....breast feeding really is a great way to bond and he's just the bestest baby ever!!! the greatest thing in the world his him laying on my chest and falling asleep .....they love the beating of the heart....it really is the greatest feeling! i gotta go feed him now....talk to you later.
