Christian Joseph is here! 9-14-2009 Mood
Wednesday, September 16, 2009
One Sunday I posted that I was leaking fluid...well I called my OB Monday and they wanted me to come in right away. I didn't think it was really my water breaking or that he would actually arrive in a few hours! Now looking back I am like....WOW! I told my students that I would see them tomorrow and my sub (it was her 1st day shadowing me) I would be back tomorrow to discuss her plans for the next 14 weeks! Well lets just say that didn't happen. I went to the OB (not mine who was playing golf) and the test on the fluid came back positive. My DH and I just looked at each other in shock. I asked what my choices were. She said you have one get to the hospital right now. I am a huge planner and don't handle immediate change that well so all I could do was cry in shock!! I was like...i'm not ready until next Wednesday. But again this baby is teaching me to let go and that I don't control everything! So as my DH calmed me down and focused my on our son’s arrival, I walked over and felt more ready. He wanted to come into the world and that he did!! I went to the hospital and 4 hours later he was here! The c-section...not my favorite. It was scary going into the OR all the needles and tons of people in the room. Pushing, pulling tugging…all not comfortable! I'll tell you though hearing his first cry brought continuous tears to my eyes. I was on cloud 9 mesmerized by my new son! My DH stayed with me the entire time helping my breath and focus. Without him I would never have been able to do it! Christian was perfect! Everything just perfect! My DH was holding him as they closed me up and in the recovery room he breastfed. Now he is 2 days old and as he lays next to me I am still in shock that he is my son! He is coming home with my and DH! He has to be the most handsome baby I have ever seen! I am so in love with him!! Breastfeeding is going well and that makes this even better. Now the pain is hard I won’t lie. Each hour, day and minute gets a little better so I am making it through! I will journal after our arrival at home on Friday. Thank you to all of my DS friends for your support after my D&C and throughout this pregnancy.

    Congratulations!!! Isn't it AMAZING? And yes the c-section is scary and uncomfortable but it does get better every day. I got my staples out yesterday and that helped comfort even more. Congrats also on the breastfeeding going well!

    Babies sure will teach you to let go of the schedules & plans....they have their own plans as you have just learned. I am so happy for you & I can't wait to see pictures of this perfect little boy! Congrats mommy!
