1-12-10 ROCKED

Guess what the little turd did come early. The day after my last post in fact. I was babysitting my niece and I guess running after her and Carmen did it. After she left I was trying to just lay around and relax and not cry but I was so miserable. I was sitting in the recliner thinking I WANT TO HAVE THIS BABY TODAY. Then I started having (TMI ALERT) the squirts and throwing up and I thought "hmm maybe all these contractions are doing something" I wasn't timing them because I didn't want to get my hopes up. I called Sean at work and told him " Um I think I am in labor" I told him not to leave work early or anything because labor takes forever but we called his mom so she could stay with Carmen and went in to the hospital. Sure enough I was 4 and a half centimeters. I was halfway there! If I wasn't so afraid of blowing out my vagina I could have done it on my own. And they said we are going to get him out within the hour.......and they did.


He is so cute! He was 9.2 but I think that if he hadn't peed on the Dr. and 2 nurses before they weighed him he would have at least been the same as his sister. He looks like a Melin boy. Blue eyes and all. He is so good and calm but he does have a temper. He loves to snuggle. He sleeps GREAT (for now). His head was 15 centimeters. I really wouldn't have been able to use my vagina again after pushing that out. I am really blessed. He is healthy and sweet and Carmen loves him. I cannot believe that I have 2 amazingly well behaved children (so far) but I am sure they will make up for it when they turn 12. Only 11 good more years to go.


I got to hold him first. In the OR they gave him to me first and then they gave him to me in recovery. I got to feed him in the first hour after he was born. This hospital experience was completely different than Carmens. My nurses were wonderful. And they all loved my baby. The only problems I has were 1. I couldn't sleep at all the first night so I was really uncomfortable the next day and 2. the narcotic they gave me made me SO SLEEPY I had to stop taking it. But I am in so much less pain this time that it didn't really matter. I could keep going for days but I am going to sit on the couch and stare at my baby for a while.
