Hey guys!!! :D

Just wanted to let everyone know I had my baby on Monday at 11:49 am. His name is Mason and weighed exactly 8 pounds and he is awesome!!

I had come on over the weekened panicked because they had scheduled me for a c-section for Tuesday morning. Well, sunday night my water broke so they had me try labor first. After 13 hours of labor we had to go for the c-section after all, so I got to experience both! lol

I am having some trouble sleeping after coming down off this baby "high" and being over-tired (I've slept about 11 hours since Sunday all together) so in a day or two after I have slept (they're gonna order me pills if I don't fall asleep soon, lol) I will write out my birth story then and post pictures. I'm a little out of sorts still at the moment but just wanted to let you all know.

I will say this in the meantime.....even though everyone keeps talking about my labor being long and tough (I pushed for 2 and 1/2 hours), I really found the whole thing and incredibly positive experience! I never once felt like I was going to "die" or that I couldn't do it. In fact, I would honestly say that I would do this in a heartbeat again if I could! lol All that worrying for nothing :roll: . I'm finding myself a little emotional and missing my nurse and doctor a bit as they were just SOOOO great through it all. heh

During the c-section, once I realised they had cut into me and I wasn't feeling it I was able to relax and the operation was actually FUN! The doctors were smartasses and very playful about it all and I found myself laughing, lol. Anyway....my only issue now is being overtired and unable to sleep so my emotions are wacky. I will write more detailed on it later for anyone who is as panicked and nervous about getting ready to go through it like I was. I just wanted to let you all know in the meantime!!

Good luck everyone!
