So, I wish I had time to really blog right now. I have so many thoughts and stories that would be great reading material, however, I just do not have the time or energy to do it right now. I have to feed in exactly 37 minutes and lots of things to squeeze in before then. I would really like to procrastinate on that little task… ouchie! Man, it hurts.
So, real quick…
Did I do it? Did I go natural?
NOPE! Couldn’t do it.
After about 12 hours of labor the real pains kicked in and I had THE WORST back labor… for one whole hour, 1 to 2 minutes apart while Ryan trying to apply counter pressure to relieve some of the pain… it just got worse and Ryan was getting weaker. So, I gave in and got an Epidural. Best decision ever!!! It was just enough that I could still feel everything while having about 90% less pain. It was great.
Only another 10 hours or so until eventually it was time to push and after an hour an a half of pushing, Lucy was not budging. The little chunker was just too big to make her way out so we went in for a C-section… lots of good stories surrounding this topic but I will save them for another time.
At 4:33am on November 28th, Lucy was born. Weighing in at a whopping 8.94lbs and 20 inches short.
She is the cutest darn thing in the world and I just love her.
