Oliver Daniel is Here!

Okay...so while I can stay awake!!

Sunday night I woke up around 3:30 AM and within a few seconds I felt this enormous gush in my underwear. I kind of sit there for a second and then it hits me...uhhh...my water broke!!

So I grab my cell phone and rush to the bathroom...water keeps gushing and gushing...so I called Jason (who was downstairs) and told him to wake up!

I blow dried my hair and got dressed. we started packing a few things, since we weren't planning on going in for another 8 days...I know, stupid us!!

We eventually get to L&D around 4-4:30 am. They hook me up and the Nazi tech shoves her hands all the way up to confirm my water broke...uh duh...look at the towel!!

I was completely closed and only having light contractions. Since Jason and I had popcorn at midnight, they wanted to wait until 8 AM to schedule it...stupid popcorn!!

So, we waited around and watched bad TV until just before 8. I went in the OR and got my spinal and waited for it to begin. The nurse anesthetist and anesthesiologist were hilarious and helped me get through my nerves.

At 8:27 AM Oliver was born, crying with apgar scores of 9. Soon he started grunting and not breathing so well, so the NICU team came and rushed in not telling me ANYTHING!

They took him to the NICU and I had to wait until 9:15 for her to finish sewing me up. She then took DH right up to the NICU to check everything out while I was in recovery.

Long story short, he just had some fluid in his lungs, but it took them until 4 PM on Monday to confirm it.

He weighed 7lbs 5oz and is 19 inches long.

Jason and I are very proud!
