My pain wasn't getting any better, I excused myself, went back to the bathroom. Sat there for a few mins, daddy came in to check on me. I told him and insisted him not to tell NaiNai and PakPak coz I didn't think you would come since the doc going to induce me in a few hours. But daddy worried, went to tell NaiNai.NaiNai had him called the doctor. NaiNai came in sat next to me in the bed, held my hand, told me just squished her hand everytime I felt the pain. After talking to the doc, daddy walked in and said, " let's pack, doc wants us to check in now."
We moved pretty quickly, got in the car and the next thing I know was i was in the hospital bed, covered with blankets over blackets, daddy and Nainai were sitting on chairs next to my bed, and Pakpak was the sofa next to the window. A Russian nurse walking in and out monitoring your movement. I told the nurse, " this is really NOt fun at all.." and her answered was, "this is called labor!"Dr. Gumb came in 30 mins later, looked at the chart , turned to us and said,"We need to have a C-section." She didn't think you can wait any longer. We never talked about that option, it just freaked me out listening to her explaining to us the risks of having C-section. I started to shake really really bad, nurses came in to do the blood work and put in the IV.
Another 25 mins passed by, couple nurses came in and said, " IT's time!" they handled daddy some scrub, had him to put it on and waited outside the operating room. They pushed me in, it was freezing cold in there. Still shaking really bad, 3 nurses had to hold me while they injected me with epidural. Once again, I thought this was not fun at all. Daddy walked in a few mins later, I was still covered with blankets but my face was so itchy so the first thing i said to him was, "Could you please scratch my nose?" This is another famous line that night.
Anyway, Dr Gumb asked, "Are you ready?" then she continued explaining what she was doing while doing it. I didn' feel a thing, no sure how long later, I felt the push and pull...
Then we heard, " It's a girl, 1:32am..." a tear streamed down my face.
I wasn't sure why.. But one thing I know was we have a beautiful baby girl even tho I didn't get to see your face until 16 hours later. We were born 1825 days ago. Today is your day.. a day of celebration .. and today is also a day to remember all the people who help you to get here... who walked side by side with you.. who care and love you..
Happy 1825 days to our beautiful daughter!
