Story of the Arrival
My water broke Monday at 3:50am. After waking up Shaun and my mom we were off to the hospital. Once at the hospital the nurse checked and I was at a 4, nothing too exciting I was at a 4 when I went to the doctor on Thursday, they put me in a room and the process began. To make a long story short...8 hours later the doctor came in and I was only at a 5. He said he was giving me until 5:00pm and if things didn't start moving I would have to have a c-section. Well at 4:00 the nurse came in and I was only at a 6, yeah go me. 20 minutes later I was trying to move and all of a sudden three nurses came rushing in, the baby's heart rate had dropped. The doctor came in and said it was time to get hime out. So off I went to have a c-section. At 4:56pm Lewis Kelvin Martin arrived! His weight was 8 lbs. 1oz. and he was 21 in. long.
All in all it wasn't so bad until the meds began to wear off before they were done. I could feel everything on the right side; let me just say it was not cool. At some point they put me out and tried to finish before I woke up...no such luck. An hour later I was in my room and FINALLY able to be with Lewis and Shaun. Lewis was having trouble regulating his blood sugar and during the night was taken to the special care nursery. I came home on Thursday ut Lewis had to stay behind. It was VERY hard to come home without him and even harder to see him with all those wires.
