Hi everyone! Just thought i'd share my birth story and everything that's happened since then.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, on November 14 I went in to be induced. When i arrived at the hospital i was having pretty regular contractions so they decided to wait and see how i progressed. After about 4-5 hours of that they decided to give me pitocin and my epidural. Although slow everything was going fine. Then all of a sudden i started to feel the contractions a whole lot more. This was after 12 hours of labor and i was exhausted by this point from not sleeping the night before either. After i screamed at the nurses to give me a c-section because i was in so much pain they finally checked my epi and saw that it had moved and i hadn't been getting anything for a few hours (yay me) so they gave me another one. Thinking back i can not even remember how dilated i was or any of those details. After another sleepless night i woke everyone up at about 5 in the morning because i started feeling contractions really bad again, turns out i was finally 10 cm and ready to push! After 24 hours of labor, pushing for about 20-30 minutes, and having to get an episiotomy my beautiful baby boy, Brody David Richard, was born at 8 pounds 9 ounces and 21 3/4 inches. Throughout all of this my boyfriend and mom were by my side and i'm so thankful for them.
Then all the joy went down when, after no sleep for 2 days and pushing a kid out, EVERYONE decided they should show up at the hospital without asking or anything. Finally i kicked everyone out at around 1 pm to take a nap and my boyfriends mother and nana decide to show up WITHOUT telling anyone. To say the least i was pissed, especially finding out they came up after seeing my mother leave and my mother telling them we were trying to sleep..rude much? So i was rude right back and would barely say a word to them and kept hinting for them to leave, and after everything i went through i didn't feel bad at all. That same stuff continued for my whole hospital stay making everything that much more stressful and bringing me to my decision to live at my grandparents. 2 weeks later i am SO glad i made that decision. Boyfriends sister decided to start stuff with me, again, so she's now not even allowed to see Brody. His mother called me some nasty stuff all because i didn't want to leave the house to some see her the day after we got home.
In the end though my boyfriend and my family have been my rock and i know i wouldn't be able to do this without them. Boyfriend and i are now looking at apartments and engagement rings
Thanks to anyone who stuck around long enough to read all that!
