Well, at my appointment October 6th, I was dilated to 2, but Lyric's head was still floating, so I thought I would be waiting for a couple weeks.. we set his induction for the 14th. That night I went to Walmart with my friend, Neah, and we walked around for a long time. It was a lot more painful than usual. Nothing happened until the following night. I felt a lot of pressure and didn't really think much of it. At approximately 4am on October 8th, which was also my due date, we were sitting in bed watching tv. I was eating a bowl of buttered noodles, one of my favorite foods, and all of the sudden my water broke. I looked at Troy and said 'did my water just break, look' and he was like 'OMG GET OFF THE BED!' haha so i ran to the bathroom and stood in the shower while he called his grandma so we could use her car. I had my backs packed for the most part, so he got the rest ready and i stuffed an old towel in my pants and off we went.
When I got to the hospital I was still dilated to 2.. This lasted until about 8am. I walked a bunch, sat on that stupid ball, nothing changed. So then they started pitocin. At about eleven I was about 2.5-3 and they kept pressuring me to get my epidural (even though I was in no pain at all). They told me that I needed to rest so they were going to start the epidural. It worked too good on me is what they said. I hated how helpless I felt and sometimes felt like I couldn't breathe. Switching positions was annoying as hell! Troy's mom, Tammy, was there for the whole day, his sister came towards the end and we all pretty much sat there.
At about 7:00 i started pushing, with just Troy in the room. My mom, dad, my sister Angela, my sister Toni her boyfriend Hector, Cruzy, Tammy and Tiffany, all sat outside and waited. Well my stubborn child was facing a little bit sideways, and with them trying to move him I ended up pushing for 2 1/2 hours! Ouch, that sucked. I thought I was going to be sick so many times, but it never happened! Finally, they told me they were calling in a doctor to do a c-section. I was scared. He came in, took a peek and said 'im using the forcepts'. Even more ouch! But with 2 pushes He pulled him out. I remember saying after the first push when he had the forcepts on him, 'I can't push anymore!' and the doctor said 'you have to, he's halfway out!' Well, that last push when he finally came out was crazy. The feeling of him coming out was so wierd! Unexplainable that's for sure. We delivered our baby boy at 10:11 pm. He was 9lbs 1.3oz., 20.5 inches long, and had a huge head measuring 14.5 inches. I forgot to mention in here, Troy was amazing. He helped throughout everything. Don't know what I would have done without him.
Me and Troy both teared up pretty good, me especially. They layed him on me and i was in love! My baby boy was so cute right from the start. The whole time I was pregnant I was so scared of him coming out ugly, yea I'm mean, I know. He was beautiful! They had to stitch me up which took forever.. and then everyone came in to see him. Besides Tiffany, she left right before he ended up coming out. After they left the room I had to feed Lyric. That was really hard. He didn't want to latch. They ended up giving me a nipple shield which helped a little bit. Tammy stayed all day and stayed the night with us. The next couple days were a bit foggy, Tiffany came to visit, and so did Neah. My WHOLE family ended up being sick the day after he was born so they couldn't come back. We ended up staying an extra night due to Jaundice, Lyric had to sleep under the lights. We went home on the 11th at about noon. Tammy brought us a snowsuit and carseat cover and off we went.
