Noah with his big eyes, just like his big sisterWell I can finally say I have done it all. I had a C-section and had a girl, as well as a natural birth and had a boy. I can know say having a natural birth was quite painful but one of the best experiences I have ever had, and I do wish I had it with Ella too.
So here's the story for those that want to know how Noah came into this world.
I started knocking on David's office door around 9am July 2 with small pains. Them I started to realize that something was really happening. I already had a doctor's appointment for 10am and had my mom come over to watch Ella. We all went to the appointment together and found I was 2 cm dilated already. Went home and walked the block keeping time with each contraction I had. By 1pm I was in the hospital with bigger pain but with small smiles. Once they broke my water it got crazy, I pushed for 2 hours and out came Noah at 11:14 pm. I always told my doctor that I really wanted the whole experience and he was able to give it to me. I got to feel Noah's head when I was crowning,Dave cut the cord and Noah was placed on me right away. We even had a science project with the placenta( sounds gross but...). He opened the sack and explained what we were looking at. Apparently I had a large placenta,huh...I had pushed so hard the last 2 hours determined to get him out. That I pushed with my face which burst blood vessels in my face and my eye balls almost popped out. I wouldn't recommend pushing with your eyes, I was seeing double for almost a day. Having to close one eye to see anything or anybody. They were so swollen I had to ice them for a few days.
Days later I had another doctors appointment with Noah by my side. The one thing I remember is that all my water was behind Noah when we came out. There for, everybody got completely drenched. So we brought doc a gift of new parts of socks and a photo of him holding Noah for the fist time.
I do know I loved both experiences but would never want to do it again. I believe we are done!
One girl and one boy what else could I ever ask for. I'm so happy to be me;)
