CANT BELIEVE IT !!!!!!!!

Last wed I went to the hospital because I was bleedingf I had been hurting off and on all day, but I would go to LD. so, whe I started bleeding I called my husband at worjk it took him an hr to get home. Withing taht hr I washed one load of laundry took a shower, made sure I was shaven and feed the kids and clean my room. I did all this while having contraction every 8 to 10 minuytes.

Okay so we get to LD. they checked me out, and I a, telling the nurse my csection is cshedule for Nov 3, I want to have a oct baby. I have two other boys that are in Nov. The nirse checked me I was 2 cm dilated and my cervix was thinning , and she said she would check me in two hrs to see whats going on. By this time contractions where 5 to 7 minutes. She checked me again I was 4 to 5 cm. She said well it looks like you will be having a baby tonight !!

So my husband and I started calling everyone. It was emergency csection but it sure was urgent. Dallas Lake was born at 11:43pm via csection. 7lbs 3oz, 19 1/2 inch long. He has some low blood sugars. I had gestational diabetes.and rapid heart beat. I was released from hospital on sunday. he was released on Monday. He is doing well. They said some of his issues are because he was born early, I was almost 37 weeks. But I am blessed he is here and doing good.

My doctor was out of town for his daughter's wedding so one of his partners did my csection. I was SO  nervous especially it was my 4th csection, and nmy doctor had did all the csections. So I said a prayer, my blood went up as soon as they started rolling in there. Then I felt a since of calm and peace. Actually i can say that was one of the best csection I have had, even through the healing process.

guess what though, everybody keeps asking me the magic question..is this it, your not having any more right. I have been dsaying this is it all while I was pregnant due to the csection thing(4th one), but i have been secretly thinking to myself is this reallyt it. The doctor aid I has a firm uterus, and minimum scar tissue. my sister in law said I should have never heard that lol... but I am going to try to stay focused on schooland raising the ones i have. I am going to try !!!

Thanks Ladies!!!!!!!

I am looking at him now like you are here..REALLY..LOL..

I guess Krissy is saying he is big to not be 37 weeks. He was about three weeks early. I was measuring big throughout the pregnancies though. How are you ChristineMP..you ready?

Congratulations!! Welcome baby Dallas :)

@Krissy 7lbs 3 oz isn't big..it's average for a baby 7-8 lbs is the most common weight range for babies.
