Hobbs Davidhizar was born December 21, 2011 at 7:24 am after about 15
hours of labor. I had him naturally (well except for one shot of
morphine) which was NOT the plan. Apparently, anesthesiologists in these
parts take their merry time in getting to you after you request an
epidural (3.5 hrs to be exact). This was after they had sent me home
once in active labor. We went back when my water broke at home. It was
pretty horrible, something I never want to do again, but of course it
was worth it to get this little one.
He
was 7 lbs, 7 oz., exact same as Keaton, and 20.25 in. long. He came out
pink & screaming & hungry. He nursed great right away. So far I
can tell he is stronger & more alert than Keaton was. Physical
recovery for me was much better, but I had insomnia & some pretty
serious baby blues the first couple of weeks.
He's beautiful! Congrats!!!! Your birth story sounds a bit like my second, as well. That's why I decided to go with a natural water birth at a birthing center for our third. Hope you're sleeping better.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny, because I'm thinking the opposite route with my next- scheduled C-section! lol, not really, but I'm tempted! ;) Good for you though!!
