Gavin has arrived. :)

Here is his birthstory:

So I was having contractions since the 16th at 2am. I went to l&d and was only a 3, and at my doc appt I was a 3 1/2. I continued to have contractions on and off through out the night. I had a bloody show from the time I left the hospital till I delivered.

Anyway today I kept having strong contractions all day, but they werent staying consistent and they were anywhere from 5-30 minutes apart. Around about 4, they started to get more regular. I went ahead and took a bath and made me some mac -n- cheese, and scarfed it down. Tommy got there around 520ish or so, and we headed out. Got to the hospital around 630 and she checked me and I was a 4 1/2 and my water was bulging. Of course they wanted to monitor me and check me in an hour and see if I had progressed. Tommy didnt come in, he just went and got some food, cause we figured it wasnt gonna be *that* soon. I mean there was a point where they slowed down to 6 min apart on the drive. Anyway the nurse comes back at 7, and is like Im gonna check ya.. Im like okay..

And at this point I had a ctrx at the same time, and I wanted her hand cause of the pain of her being in there and what not.. and then she grabbed my hand and is like calm down, Im gonna tell you whats going on. And shes like you are complete, you have a little bit of thinning to do. Tommy walks in, in this process. And shes like I think that once your water breaks its going to be over, and she went to say that she didnt think I was getting the epidural.

The only person, I got to call was my mom. I was suppose to send a text once I got admitted but since I went from being watched to nearly pushing, that did not happen. In fact, when the nurse came in I was about to text some people to let them know I was there to be watched.

At this point, my only concern was getting the antibiotics since I was GBS+. So they got that going, which btw burned my arm so bad, it hurt worse than ctrx.

And the two nurses was trying to keep me calm and what not. And honestly the ctrxs were not that bad. There was a lady in the room next to mine, and she had been crying and screaming out.. I had heard her from the time I arrived.

And the nurses really wanted to deliver the baby without the doctor.. not that I minded but the one nurse, kept checking me, and she wanted me to push while her hand was in there moving the lip of cervix.. and oh my god that hurt. That was one of the worse parts of it.

I honestly think once my water broke it would have finished off.. and I was willing to wait damn it, until the doctor came in and broke it!

But she insisted. At one point, she wouldnt remove her fingers and insisted I push.. I started cursing her.. move your effin fingers LOL...

Anyway my water broke finally after me pushing, and that as sooo much better... such a relief. Then I started pushing when I wanted..

And the other hardest part was his head and shoulders.. OH MY GOSH- THAT HURT. I was cussing too...

But in the end the doctor and the nurse all said I was amazing especially compared to my "neighbor" whom I guess got the epidural.
