So the story of how Liam came

So I thought maybe you all would like to know how labor went, so here is the story. Well it all started on Saturday when I started having some contractions. My mother in law was in town, so she told us we should start timing them. The contractions were not painful at this point so I just was getting excited that something was happening. Then..they stopped, and I was like what the heck. But then Sunday morning at 3 am they started up again, and now they were a little painful. All it really felt like was lower back pain. So I got up, and went to sacrament meeting. So the rest of Sunday I continued having contractions, but they were not that close, so we did not go to the hospital.

That was until 9:45 pm when my water broke. I was not exactly sure it had, but when I got to the hospital they confirmed that yes my membranes had ruptured. So the nurse then told me to keep having contractions until 4:00 am and see what happened. I was only dilated to 1 and 1/2 cm at this point. So I so continued laboring, and 4:00 am came and went. ( I had only dilated to about a 2) So the doctors started me on potocin, to see what would happen. So contractions were really do-able when I was standing up, but every time I would stand up Liam's heart rate would go down. So they confined me to the bed, where contractions were not very bearable. So at about 6:30 I was only dilated to about a 3, so I decided to get an epidural, so I could get some rest. And, man it was nice. So I continued to labor, but now without the pain until about 10:30.

At that point my doctor came in and said that Liam was not dropped and I was still only about a 3/4, and because every time I would have a contraction Liam heart rate would go down, that I should get a c-section. Of course Roland was eating breakfast in the cafeteria when he told me this, so I was a little upset. But then Roland came back into the room, and I calmed down. They then prepped me for surgery by giving me more drugs(couldn't feel my legs at all), and they preformed the c-section. It is a pretty weird experience, because all I felt was pulling, and then Liam was out.(It was 11:42 am at this point) It was kinda sad though because I only got to see him for like two seconds, before they rushed him to the NI CU because he was having trouble breathing. So they put him on oxygen and then I got to see him in 3 hours. I was kinda nice though because by the time I got to see him I was not so out of it. So there is the story. Sorry it was so long, but that is how it went down. So I got to experience a whole lot of different things with labor, but we are now excited that Liam is here, and hopefully we will get to go home today!
