Update
So I finally popped the kid out last Wednesday morning at 5:12 AM. I had a little boy and his name is Parker and he is now the new love of my life. I haven't talked to Billy, I couldn't get ahold of him and I'm on an emotional rollercoaster at the moment due to hormones so I'm just leaving things alone and I'll deal with them when I'm feeling more normal. The delivery was kinda a mess. I went in to the hospital Monday evening to begin the induction procedure and then first thing Tuesday morning the other doctor (the one I didn't really like or want) came in and broke my water. I was very upset about that because I wasn't progressing at the time and I was afraid I'd end up getting a c-section. After she broke my water my normal doctor came in to check on me and he made me feel alot better about things, plus I found out he'd be delivering my baby. I had an epidural right after she broke my water because I was in a hell of a lot of pain. I had issues throughout the rest of the day because my epidural pump wasn't working properly so I kept having to call people in to drug me up, but when it came time to push I felt EVERYTHING! I only pushed for an hour and a half when it finally came time so that was a bonus. The little guy was 8lbs 3oz and 20 inches long. I had some issues with my placenta, it did not wanna come out and they almost had to go into get it which would have really sucked but I finally delievered that about 45 min later. My mom did really well and didn't cry. I myself only cried when she broke my water, after that I didn't really cry until Friday when I was sitting in the hospital all by myself and was bored outta my mind.
Parker was very jaundiced when he was born. I was pissed because when they first checked his billirubens no one told me the results and that they were very high until about 9 hours after the tests were done. I was upset because if I would have known I would have left him in the nursery to be under the special lights instead of keeping him in my room most of the time. I got to come home on Friday but they sent home a machine with me that I had to keep on him for the first few days. It had special lights in a belt that had to be kept wrapped around him that helped him. He's doing alot better now. His levels are almost normal and he's alot happier now that the belt is off. I was trying to breast feed but my milk didn't come in until Sunday and I've got a really low supply so I think we're going to stick with bottle feeding. Which in the long run will probably be better for us so that if I ever need the help others can help out easier. I have to take him in tomorrow for his one week check-up and I know I'm gonna cry because I'm planning on having him circumsized and they are doing that tomorrow. I opted to have it done in clinic because he was sick when he was born plus my insurance doesn't cover it and it's only 1/3 of the cost to do it in clinic opposed to doing it in the hospital.
Well that's enough about my pregnancy. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm going to attempt to sleep sometime in the next 24 hours and spend more time with the little booger.
