O.k, so we had my son's first birthday party on Saturday. It went pretty well, I think. There was so much left over cake. Of course, I cannot have cake within my reach and stay out of it. It's simply impossible. I have zero willpower. I love cake and creamy icing! So I ate sooooo much cake this weekend. Not only cake though, but lots of other stuff too. The word "diet" just did not exist for me this weekend. As a result, I felt like total and utter crap last night. I was up and down all night with acid reflux and woke several times in the middle of the night to the taste of vomit in my mouth. EW! Ok, so I am officially back to watching what I eat. I love to eat, but I haven't felt so full and sick in a long time. There is even still some cake downstairs, but I haven't taken one bite of it today!
Well last year at this time I was having contractions about 6 minutes apart. They started around 7:30 pm at 10 minutes apart. Then soon got to 4 minutes apart and I was at the hospital between 10 and 10:30 pm. When I got there, they were about 3 minutes apart and getting closer and much, much stronger. I walked the halls for a while stopping every 2 minutes on the dot for the contractions. I finally got to a room and asked for an epidural. (I did not get one when having either of the girls, but at this point, they were right on top of each other...no breaks in between. One would start practically before the last one ended!) By about 12:30 am I had the epi and was feeling NO pain. God bless the anesthesiologist!!
So by that point, this was by far the longest labor I have had seeing as how I wasn't even near delivering yet. (1st baby 5.5 hours, 2nd baby 4.5 hours). The epidural slowed down my contractions considerably, but it wasn't so bad, since I wasn't feeling anything.
Somewhere around 5 am I was fully dilated and started pushing. I was really scared that it would take a long time to push him out since I couldn't really feel how hard I was pushing. However, at 5:20 am he was out. All 9 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches of him. I simply cannot believe it has been a year! It just does not seem possible!
Well, hopefully I will have some pictures to post tomorrow.
