Entry for December 09, 2006

As most of you now know MC is here and happy. He was born on 11/28/06 at 12:12 am. This came as a huge surprise. I was sent to the hospital by the doc for evaluation, they decided to keep me. I was very sad , Sunshine has NEVER spent the night without me, and I have NEVER spent the night without him. Duck started to get frustrated because he was into everything and decided that it was time to go. I really didn't want to be alone, but what could I do? I went into the bathroom and just bawled my eyes out, I decided to watch a movie and go to sleep so I didn't have to think about it anymore. The doctor's plan was to see if MC needed to be taken early since my BP had jumped really high. So I went over to the TV to turn off Sponge Bob and found Me, Myself and Irene to watch/fall asleep to. Then all the sudden, I felt a gush. "Hummm....I know I didn't just pee my pant," I said to myself. Then I felt another little gush, I decided to sit down on my bed for a minute, and sure enough, I was certain that my water had broke. I called the nurse and she confirmed it. She didn't realize that I was so upset about Duck and Sunshine leaving. Now the race was on, the contractions started coming more often and harder....but the doc didn't know when he was going to make it in...they said something about 8 am....none the fact that they were just about to bring me some food since I hadn't eaten since noon, I was starving. But no food now that my water broke. Then the NP showed up for the baby and we were given word that I would be on the table in 1/2 and hour. What to do what to do???? Sunshine is at home with Duck, Dad is an hour and 1/2 away, the only other person we trust would be K and G. I felt so bad having to call on their help and so late, but if Duck wanted to see MC born, that was our only option. We will be forever grateful that they we kind enough to take Sunshine. They said that he did great, he whimpered, but didn't fuss. I'm soooo happy about that, I'm glad that he feels comfortable with them. We only hope that one day we can return the favor.... The doc was a little upset that they didn't have me in OR when he got there, but the nurse told him that the dad wasn't there yet nor the anesthesiologist. He got over it, Duck got there and they cut me open. MC was born at 12:12, I was hoping before midnight to have him on the 27th, but I'm glad that it's all over and done with, no matter what day it was. Sunshine doesn't have much to do with him, especially since curiosity killed the cat. Sunshine wanted to see what I was doing when I was changing his diaper, well lets just say that Sunshine's face started getting wet, and it wasn't raining in the livingroom. He also isn't too thrilled to see MC nursing, you can tell that the wheel in his brain are turning and that he doesn't see that as right. He'll get used to it. MC is a fairly good sleeper except the past couple of nights. Time is flying by so fast. Well I must go for now, please forgive me if this jumps around, it only took me two days to write it in between feeding and playing with Sunshine.
