At 6:52 AM on August 28th I woke to a leg cramp... and my water breaking... OMG!!! FRANK!!! I called the DR, our Mom's and my Aunt... and on the way we went... We got to the hospital and they ran some tests and sure enough my water had broken... (DUH!!! LOL but I guess they had to be sure...)I was hooked up to an IV and given Pitosin to speed things up... when they checked me I was at 3cm and feeling fine... then about 2-2.5 hours later I was at 4/5cm.... then at 6cm then STUCK there for 4-5 hours... I had a mini nerveous break down... In went the epidural... THANK GOD... then they tripled the dose of Pitosin and up to 8/9cm I went... only to be stuck there for what seems like FOREVER... Remember when I said my water broke at almost 7:00 AM?... Well it was now 2:00 AM and they made the decision to give me a c-section. Frank sat by me the whole time holding my hand and staring into my glazed over eyes... I was shivering and shaking the whole time and DRY as a bone... When the baby was out and cleaned up Frank let go of me and ran to take photos... one of the nurses took pictures of Frank holding Nathan proudly... In recovery Nathan latched on and began breast feedling like a CHAMP... one would think he had done it before!!!! I think at this point in his life I have heard him REALLY cry only three times and once was at the DR and once when he was snipped... We really are blessed with this bundle of Joy!!!
