I got up to use the restroom at 2:00 this morning and when I was going back to bed my water broke. So since I had not started contraction, I tried to go back to sleep. But by 2:20 I was having mild contraction. So I got up and showered and of course called the Dr. We were at the hospital by 4:30 and put in the delivery room. I was 5 cm dialted at this time. I was really excited and the staff prepared by calling the Dr. to give me a walking epidural. This was really a life saver because I was contracting every 2 minutes once at the hospital. So from 4:30 to lunch time the monitored me. Drew was constantly watching the machine and letting me know when contractions were coming, and what Noah's heart rate was doing. At around 12:00 I was fully dilated and ready to push. After about an hour of pushing it was decided that Noah's head was still to high and that something was holding him back from dropping. This is where the option of Emergency C Section came in. Once in the theater they gave me a spinal block which did not take very well so the decision was made to put me under. Drew was right there beside me the whole time in his scrubs and mask. He was really cute. My mom was outside with Shelby and Mary. Once they started they determined that Noah had been trying to come out face first instead the crown of his head first. This is the same way Drew was born. Not wanting to miss a thing I am sure. Noah came out not crying so they suctioned him and gave him some time to breath on his own. Though I missed this part and was upset that things did not go right according to my schedule I know who is in control and blessed us with such a wonderful son.
