Birthday

Tomorrow is Dom's birthday... he will be 19. Did you hear that my baby is gonna be 19! My oldest niece has the same birthday and she will be 23! These kids are getting too old. I was thinking back today of this day 19 years ago. I.felt.like.shit!!!! I was not in hard labor at all in fact my X took me to the hospital with my sister in tow lol. They sent me home at like 5:00 in the morning. Said I was only dilated to 1 but eat light and they were sure I would be back. Well, it was a Sunday and I went home to bed and just pretty much didn't feel good the whole day. Nothing in particular just didn't feel well. Later in the day when we were getting ready to eat I still didn't feel good. We sat down to watch the 9:00 o'clock movie (do u remember those LOL) and I started having some contractions again nothing regular nothing big. I was so not informed back then. They tell you in your birthing classes that when you go thru transition you will say things like I can't do this or shake. I was doing all that at home but because my contractions were not regular the dr said to give me 2 tylenol and send me to bed. I got up to go to bed it was about midnight and I went to the bathroom and I puked, bleed and had diahareea at the same time. I told my X I am not going to bed you are taking me to the hospital. This was a joke in itself because I didn't even have a bag packed. He had to take a shower and get all fancy before we left and I was sure I was dying in the hallway of our apartment. It was a 45 minute drive to the hospital. I got there, they checked me in and told me to go change in the bathroom. Once I got in the bathroom I could not move. I seriously just laid my head over the handicap rail and cried. The nurse came in to help me. I got in the bed the dr came in to check me. Her exact words were I am gonna break your water and you can start pushing. I was like WHAT!!! She said your dilated to 9. I was shocked!!!! I thought I was being a big baby. It turns out I wasn't LOL. My X was not even upstairs yet from registering me. So as soon as he got in the room I started pushing and the next thing I knew I was flying down the hall to the delivery room. We get into the delivery room I continue to push then all of a sudden the dr says stop. Well what the hell how do you stop that??? Then he said the cord is wrapped around his neck twice. I STOPPED!!! I continued once he got it from around his neck. I never said anything harsh to anyone not one word out of the way until.... I sat up and looked down at the dr and said excuse me... he said yes... I said do you have your finger up my ass... he had this look of terror on his face. The room was totally quiet and he answered no. I said well it sure the hell feels like it. Then the whole room cracked up. After about 5 pushes Dom was born. It just amazes me to look back and think about it. It seems like yesterday and I can remember every detail vividly.

So Happy Birthday to my big man!!!!! I love you more than you will ever know or I could ever express.
