The delivery was pretty eventful. I went into the hospital on Wednesday the 22nd of October at night to be induced. They did 3 doses of a drug that should have put me into labor or at least prepared my body to go into labor. It did absolutely nothing... Then in the morning they started Pitocin and broke my water (which hurt a lot) I was on the Pitocin all day long, and at 9:00pm when I was still at a 2 and only 75% effaced. We all decided that nothing was happening and a C-Section was the best option. I was so exhausted and starving - I hadn't had anything to eat since 6:00 the night before, so I was relieved that we were going to finally have a baby. They got me all prepped for surgery and Jake and my mom came in to be with me, then we got started, everything went well until I started feeling everything... Yeah so the anesthesia wore off or wasn't strong enough or something because I felt everything after the cutting, that part I could tell they were doing it but it didn't hurt. Then came the pulling/pushing or something horribly painful. I could tell when they got Nathan's head out, he started crying right then. Then his shoulders and the rest of him. They held him up over so I could see him and then they knocked me out. I was in so much pain. I could move my leg and had to tell myself not to pull it out of the restraint thing it was in. So from then on I don't remember because I was unconscious. But they had to put a tube down my throat because I was swallowing my tongue. It was so exciting... Or scary... The next thing I remember is being in my room with a lot of people standing around me. There are details missing here about coming out of the OR and into the recovery room and them asking me if I wanted to hold the baby and me saying yes like they were stupid for asking because I was so excited to have him, and then I wouldn't share him. But I don't remember that. Jake said it was cute. He will have to fill in those details.
I have much more to say but its apparently time to eat again, so I gotta go. Here's a picture that I don't remember!

we are glad it is 2 weeks later and you are both doing great. Get some sleep!
Glad you are doing better after the delivery. He looks so cute! Congrats.
*I do know how bad it hurts to have your water broken and nobody agrees that it hurts!
I remember that photo moment and you WOULDN"T share that baby! You weren't going to let anyone else hold him. You deserved to hold him after what you had just gone through to get him here! Congrats again!
