It's been a wicked long time since i've updated. I had the baby on January 6th (my birthday) and we named him Damion Micheal Robinson. He weighed 8 lbs 15 oz. and he was 21" long. I had one hell of a labor, too! I was in hard labor for three days, and i was still only dialated 5 cm. so they took him cesarean. Let me tell you, my hospital stay was hell. I mean yeah i'll admit it was nice having nurses waiting on my hand and foot, but i had all kinds of complications. First off, the little bitch that was putting in my i.v. had to stick me like three times just to get the i.v. in. They had to break my water bc it wasn't breaking. That is the most disgusting feeling ever. It felt like I was peeing myself, and it made like puddles on the floor and stuff. Talk about embarassing. Then when they finally gave me drugs, the woman who put in my epidural put it in wrong the first time, so she had to take it out and put it in again...all the while my ass is hanging out of the back of my johnny for the whole world to see...TONS of fun, though honestly I had lost all of my modesty by that time anyway. The whole epidural process took like 20 minutes, and you have to curl up in the fetal position the whole time. It's not exactly easy to do that when you're having extreme contractions and wicked back pain. Then they put in the catheter (spellin?)...by that time I wasn't feeling any pain so i didn't feel anything, but it was pretty interesting to see yourself peeing but to not be able to feel it. Then they decided that they were going to do a c-section. So they gave me a local anisthetic (spellin again?) and it stopped all the pain. Until they started slicing me open. Then I could feel pain. Granted it wasn't that bad, but it was pretty scary wondering when all of my feeling was going to come back. The c-section was...interesting for lack of a better word. It's an odd feeling having people feeling around inside you and moving organs and stuff. So then I finally got to see my baby. Though i went through hell and back, it was all worth it the moment I saw him. Here's the worst part though, the stupid anesthesialogist (spellin?) gave me perkiset while i was breastfeeding. She said that it would just make him sleepy, but i talked to my uncle who is an anesthesialogist and he said to stop taking it asap because it would make him sleep through feedings. That was true, too. When we woke him up to eat, he would take forever to latch on and I wasn't able to get him to myself, i had to have the nurse's help. Because of this, I had to switch him to a bottle before I left the hospital bc otherwise he wouldn't have eaten. That was the hardest thing i had to do though. I bawled my eyes out when I made the decision (of course my raging hormones didn't help). So, that's the story of how my little man came into this world. He'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and he weighs 12 lbs.
