Matteo's Birth Story born at 40 weeks 3 days -
5:20 Am on Feb 23, 2011 my water broke. Well started breaking. I thought it was a false call so I took a shower and told Zach to kind of wake up but he went back to bed. lol Took a shower and my contractions came on quick. Had contractions every 3-5 min for about an 1 hour before I woke up Zach again and told him it was go time and he needed to call people. I went downstairs and did the dishes and picked up toys while Zach took a shower. More of my water broke and we started to head for the hospital. Dropped the boys off at Katie's (Thank you sooooooooooo frickin much Katie!) and went to the hospital. It was about 8 am when we got there and my water kept breaking in bigger gushes. They gave me this thing to check if it was my water and it definitely was. They told me the name of the dr who would come check me out and I was PISSED. It was Dr. Aarfa and I had a horrible delivery with him when I had Ryker. I was about to ask for another dr but he came in and was super nice so I decided to give him a second shot. I was dilated at a 3 cm and they admitted me. Got hooked up to the Iv thing and just chilled in the room. I wimped out and got the epidural at 1pm. The guy had a trainee watching him do it and he did it twice. The anesthesiologist was awesome but he didn't tell me what was happening as he did the epidural. I was contracting and he put the needle in all the way, just to take it out and put in a whole new needle that was longer. Hurt like CRAZY but once it was in and running, I was in heaven. They checked me at 3 and I was 7 cm and 0 station. I was sooo happy cause I didn't dilate half that fast with the other two. I started feeling like I needed to push around 4 but I didn't want to actually push so I didn't tell anyone. lol The nurse came in at about 5 and I told him the pushing thing was getting stronger. He checked me and Matteo was about 2 in from coming out. He left for a few min, came back and had me do a trail push. Baby moved even lower so he ran to get the dr. He came back with another nurse and they told me to do another trial push. I pushed for about 6 min and his head came out. They made me sit there with his head half way out so they could grab the doctor. Aarfa came in and I pushed once and he was born. Easiest labor ever. Started at 5:20 am and I had him at 5:19 pm. He got a freakin TEN on the APGAR :D Absolutely perfect. I started nursing him about an hour after labor cause it was freezing and I couldn't stop shaking. So far, breastfeeding is a success and he is an angel. Definitely a good baby. He barely cries and when he does, it only lasts about a min. He has sucked his thumb and he does really well with the pacifier. We try not to give it to him to much though. Every dr/nurse who would come into our room would comment how good he was. I'm soo happy not to be pregnant and I'm already in love :) We got out of the hospital at about 7:30pm on the 24th. They got us out of there fast. He had an apt today and no jaundice or anything. Ryker calls him the "little baby" or "Tayo" and Jaidyn is still pretty sick so he's not to aware of it yet. So far, so good. Thanks so much for all the congrats! I'm still kind of out of it so if you want to see him, just let us know a head of time.
