When the bump turned into a baby

Sooooooo, the bump turned into a baby recently.

But before that the little guy started some trouble while he was still a bump. I developed preeclampsia and was admitted to the Ante-partem high risk unit. They decided to wait out the week then do a c-section on Monday 4/4 (He was breech and had no intention of moving, and they wanted to wait till I was at least 37wks to deliver), I managed to convince them to let me go home for the weekend, on the Saturday before D-day my parents drove in then drove me crazy for two weeks, more on that in another post). Monday came and off to the hospital I went. There ended up being a couple emergency c-sections come in that morning so my scheduled time kept getting pushed back again and again.....Let me tell you the waiting was the worst freaking part. Finally they came to get me and take me to the operating room, what a awesome feeling it is to be seated on this high tiny table and hunching over for someone to shove a needle in your spine. Glancing over and noticing that the doctors tool chest was just that a fucking craftsmen tool chest does not help the nerves. I was shaking so bad from being nervous they had a nurse trying to hold me still, it took FIFTEEN minutes to get my lower half all drugged up. Apparently I had a newbie doing my epidural and she kept missing, which by the way you can feel that shit! My left leg still goes numb when I sit a certain way. After they were done abusing me they brought the Husbinator in and started slicing me open, after they had gone all Sweeney Todd on my ass they asked Husbinator if he wanted to see them take the baby out. He got to see all my gross insides, and some of my insides were actually sitting OUTSIDE of me just chillaxing waiting to be put back. The doc said there was no way we could have done that naturally, he had one foot tucked tightly under his bum and the other was up by his face. So babynator (ya like?? I was trying to figure out what to call him on here and figured why not) weighed 7lbs 4oz and was 18inches long, he was plucked out at 2:41pm. I did pretty great on the recovery and got to leave the hospital after 48hours. I decided early on that I was going to breastfeed and honestly didn't think it would be that hard....well I was WRONG, Holy Jesus in a fucking rowboat! What the hell was I thinking, It is by far the best option for babynator (that's why I'm still pretending to be a cow) but at first it freaking hurts, then when that finally goes away he hits a growth spurt and all he wants to do is eat and eat and eat. I'm trying to get coordinated enough to pump and feed him so I can start stocking up for when I go back to work and hes in day care. I'm having a really hard time with the breastfeeding thing obviously (I'm a weenie)

I need to apologize for my even worse then normal sentence structure and spelling but I was trying to get all this on here before babynator woke up.

Anyway babynator just woke up and he's hungry, I know I left a lot out so I'll probably add some things here and there.

Till next time friendlies......"moooo"

  1. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIRTH OF BABYNATOR :)
    sound like you had a rough time of it!!!Your epi sounds like torture.
    If you can hang in breastfeeding for 8 weeks, it's usually supply and demand by then, cracked nipples have healed, any thrush has been treated and you kinda have figured out your baby a little.... then theres another growth spurt around 12 weeks.... Is there a lactation nurse in your area or attatched to the hospital? It really is hard going this breastfeeding thing for something thats supposed to be "natural"
