So, it's been a while right? Yeah. Finally had my son. Yeah. It's a boy. 7 Lbs. 2 oz. 20 inches long. Had him on the 27. 4:24 am. Only 2 hours of labor. So I guess that was good. Didn't really feel like it at the time. I can only imagine that's probably about what it would've been like if they would've ended up inducing me. It was intence. Spent 2 and a half days in the hospital. They wouldn't let me go... they were worried about a blood clot. 'Cause he came so fast, and his little heart was beating to slow they wouldn't give me any drugs. Didn't even have time for an epesiotomy. Only needed one stitch. Had him exactly like I wanted to. All natural. And I don't think I ever want to do it again. Unless I got an epidural. But I've heard your first labor sets the pace for the rest. Kinda afraid they wouldn't have time. *shrug* It was worth it. He's adorable. And quiet. He doesn't cry unless he's hungry, or needs to be changed. And he makes the cutest faces. He takes after his daddy. :D And he can already pick up his head and look around. I'm really surprised how well this all went. I thought he would've had some kind of problem. low birth weight. something. I guess I should be glad everything went so well. And they did end up drug testing him. He came up positive for marijuana. Now the state's all pissed and stuff. Had a social worker show up at my door yesterday. Told me I'm on a list now for neglect. Josh and I. That kinda pissed me off. I guess now, just because josh knew I was smoking, that's considered neglecting your child. So I feel uber bad because I've earned him this wonderful new title. But we're getting help outta the deal. Neither josh or I have a job right now, so they said they can get us some financial help, and maybe even help him find a job. I've decided to quit smoking pot, and clean up a little bit. Everyone's been so supportive, family and friends. I don't want to let them all down now.... Well. I guess I'm gonna go. Just wanted to post a quick update. There'll probably be more later.
