I found out I was pregnant with Alexzander on October 5, 2009. That day changed my life as well as everything and everyone around me. Seeing that faint positive sign on a pregnancy test changed my entire WORLD, who would have thought a stick you pee on would have such an impact on me.
On February 4, 2010 it was confirmed I was right, I was expecting a BOY expected to be due around May 27, 2010! We were all so excited and anxious (after the first initial 'shock and disappointed about the teen pregnancy' phase) this little baby boy's arrival. On April 24, 2010 I had my family baby shower it was great and made it even more excited to hold him in our arms, he is the first grandson on both mine and my boyfriends side so you can just imagine the excitement and joy we all felt. Oh by the way I did have 2 baby showers and one was at work :) As my due date came and went, I felt I was going to be pregnant forever and I hated the thought of being induced if he didn't make an appearance 10 days after due date came. But thank goodness on May 28 I started to feel cramping and was loosing my mucus plug, although at the moment I didn't know that it was that.
On May 29 I passed more of my mucus plug with bloody show and started feeling contraction that woke me up the night prior every 15 to 30 minutes I was still living with my parents, so I went into my mom's room and slept with her that night even though we didn't do much sleeping, haha. The rest of that day it was contractions all day at no more than 30 minutes apart and very painful. (I had been with my midwives the day before and was not having contractions but was 1 and 1/2 centimeters dilated and I believe about 90% effaced.) At about 7 pm my mom and boyfriend decided to take me on an hour walk, then we came home so I could take a hot shower. That's when it all started contractions became every 3-5 minutes and extremely painful, I threw up twice that day because of the pain, I couldn't even walk straight anymore. I called my midwife and she told us to come in if we were planning on having an epidural. I wasn't but at the moment I said "screw this, let's go" because of the pain. So we got to L&D at 10:30 pm and were met at the door with a wheelchair since they saw me struggling to walk. They admitted me and I was at 4 centimeters fully effaced, I screamed epidural and got it as soon as they put me in a room although to this day I regret getting it. We waited and even though I had an epidural I had TONS of pressure and was not comfortable AT ALL. But finally after 5 painful hours at the hospital it was time to push. I pushed for about 7 minutes and my wonderful blessing was born at 3:36 AM weighing in at 7 lbs. 15 oz. and 20 in. long. I loved him since the day I found out I was having him and I couldn't believe he was finally here I balled my eyes out at the sight of this precious, but oh so fragile human being that had just come out of me. I couldn't believe he was finally her in our arms after 9 long months, he has blessed my world in soo many ways and am sooo thankful to have him here. :)
The best things you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return <3
