Kai Theodore Showecker is here♥
finally, on 10.21.11 he has arrived!
his original due date was 10.17---but of course he decided to chill in my belly a few days longer.
so i started contractions on Saturday the 15th...mild but annoying enough.
finally after 3 days of having contractions i went to the hospital.
i was "observed" for about 5 hours before i got sent home for "false" labor.
ugh!
well the next day i went back to the hospital and it was the real deal.
my whole plan was to go all natural--no drugs, no pain meds.
i was doing good for about 16 hours. i was dilated 7cm and the pain was just horrid!
it was the worse pain ever...omg. i had to ask for an epidural :(
when i finally got to the point of pushing, i pushed for about 3 hours and he wasn't coming out.
why?? his head was too big to pass through my pelvic bone!
so in the end, i had to get a c-section. i cried because it wasn't my plan... and i was really scared.
it's major surgery...
but James was with me the whole time and he came out at 9:59 am weighing 7lbs 9oz.
21 inches long and screaming like no other!
i stayed in the hospital for another 3 days for recovery...wow, it was so painful.
i'm just now finally starting to feel better. i can walk around more but still can't lift heavy things.
all in all, it was a crazy experience. but the nurses were suuuuper nice and they've been great!
and Kai was all worth it♥♥
it's papa james!
