Parenthood and all that comes

Becoming a parent so far has been an amazing experience, but lately I have been feeling pretty down. I have talked to my hubby about my feelings but lately it hasn't seemed to matter. He is currently going back to school to finish his education and I have personally gone back to work. Our schedules have worked out perfectly to where we never need a babysitter. On days when I work he watches our little guy , then when I get home instead of giving me a moment to collect my thoughts he immediately gives me our son and says he has to do "homework" but plays his video games instead..... Then later in the day (11pm) hell finally get started on his homework! I honestly have stressed to him many times that I would like us to spend some quality time together...just us.....not anyone else. Oh and by the way did I mention that I have roommates??

EASTON'S BIRTH STORY

On Monday July 13th I was laying on the couch with my fiancé watching "That's 70's Show". We were relaxing and taking about the baby when suddenly I felt a contraction followed by a huge pop I though I had peed myself, so then I sat up and there was the huge gush of fluids... it was official my water had broke at 5:20pm. I then rushed to the bathroom to wash up, I was so overwhelmed with excitement and was very nervous because I knew what was to come next. I immediately called my doctor to let her know of my situation and at the moment I had not felt any contractions, then about 30 minutes since my water I was talking to my mother when I started to feel contractions. When I had talked with my doctor she had given me the option to either wait at home that night and go in in the morning or to go ahead and go in so that I can get medication and get started on the epidural. So then o decided to go in. Once we got to the hospital it was about 6:30pm and then finally around 7pm they checked to make sure that my water broke and checked to see if my contractions were accurately on time and checked to see how dilated I was... by that point I went from 1.5 cm to 4cm. As time went on they told me to let them know when I wanted to get the epidural and by 8:30pm the contractions got so strong that I wanted the epidural. Unfortunately the doctor who performed the procedure was not there yet, so I waited for her. Then finally by 10pm the doctor came and stuck the needle in my back and within 10 minutes the contractions went away and I felt relaxed and went on to take a nap. Around 11:00 I woke up and I couldn't really feel my face, so then they lowered the dosage of the epidural. I felt so nauseated that I puked and then after I had to force myself to get some more rest. At 12am I woke up to the contractions and asked for them to turn up the dosage on the epidural, by 12:30am the contractions got stronger and I went from 4cm to 6cm. When I told them about it they had already put the dosage on it's full amount, so then they had to call in the doctor who does the procedure. I had to wait about 30 minutes for her to come in and when she did, she gave me another injection. The injection did not help at all...in fact I only felt part of my right leg go numb... Once 1:30am hit I went from 6 cm to 9cm. And from there I was in so much pain I just wanted to push the baby out already. They again checked my cervix and they had noticed that there was still part of my amniotic sack that was still partially full and at 2am I had the urge to push, so then I was only allowed to push whenever there was a contraction and I had a midwife stick her fingers in to help move the sack. By the time it got to 3:30 am I was so exhausted that I would pass out in between contractions which felt as though they were 30 seconds apart! Then it came to a point that whenever I had the contraction and the need to push I had my fiancé and an RN hold my legs up and I had to sit myself and hold onto my thighs! As the baby was slowly making an appearance the doctors brought in a mirror so that I can see the crowning and then officially at 4:58am I gave birth to a handsome baby boy! They then handed me my little man and then suddenly took him from me because he was not crying.... So then they had to help him out with some oxygen... I remember sitting there freaking out and wanting to cry.. But then my fiancé gave me the good news that he was perfectly fine and that they had to take him to the other room to make sure! Hearing the news was such a relief and then I was able to listen to the doctors when they checked my lady parts to see if I needed any stitches and go see whether I had any tearing... To my relief they announced that I did not need either one and that I had a few skid marks. Giving birth to my son was definitely an incredible experience and it's amazing to know that I was able to do everything naturally without any tears or stitches. He may have had a rough start in the beginning but I am so blessed to have such a healthy little man.
