Thomas is here!

Well here is his story.

At least the start of it!!

Sunday I asked the Hubs to make us beer butt chicken again.  In the course of that we wanted to have Gigi and Poppy over to eat with us.  By the end of the day I felt lower and even heavier.  By the time we were getting into bed I confessed to E that I was a little afraid of him leaving me to work the next day.

At this point I had not really been able to sleep for long periods of time.  I woke up about 330am and I shift in bed a little and hear this thud.  It felt like when you thump a watermelon to see if its ripe.  I felt some what of a deju vu having heard the same sound when I had Clara.  So I felt around the bed and it was dry.  I decided that I was going to get up and sit at the computer to see if something becomes of the thud.  At which point I felt the trinkle of my water breaking.  I was thinking of waiting to wake up E until I felt painful contractions but, I didnt.  He still gives me hell-o dolly for not waking him sooner with Clara...lol

So E leaves to go get his friends daughter to keep an eye on the kids (who are still sleeping) until GiGi could come.  Then we head to Tampa General.

Once I was changed into my lovely hospital clothing and laid on the bed the a big lot of my water gushed out.  I still felt no painful contractions.

It took hours for that to happen.  But once they happened it happened fast.

When I had Clara I planned on having the pain med's but since there was no time...I had her natural.  After having her I was ready to go home.  I was walking around talking and the what nots.  I wanted to recover much faster again with Thomas.  That is if I didnt have to have an emergency c-section.

So I wanted to stick out the pain of the contractions.  I knew that once it got really bad that meant I was out of time and had to stick with no pain med's.

My poor hubs.  Once I knew it was time to push they took what felt like forever to get to the room.  I was shaking so bad.  E was so worried about me.

Eventually it was time to push.  Now after having him Clara was truly a piece of cake...

I thought the contractions were painful..it was nothing like pushing him out.  That was not what I expected.  what stunk was being told to wait and not push and then push. I just wanted to push him out!!

It felt like forever but it was really only a few minutes at Thomas finally arrived at 1:24pm.  No C-section and no pain meds!!

And woah was he a big boy!! 9lb 5 oz big.  I cant help but giggle when I hold him and admire him.  He is a chubby baby!  I love it.

So far he is an angel.  Soft cries and a big sleeper.  I dont see him giving us issues learning to sleep through the night!

Clara loves him.  She wont let anyone touch him but me.  Hailey wants to squeeze his cheeks.  Ryu actually talked to him for a good while.  I think he is a happy camper that he finally has a brother.  The twins are curious of him.
