Isaiah Charles Rushton was born last thursday may 31st at 9:05am. My water broke on wednesday night, luckily Nathan's mom was here to take me to the hospital. The whole labour process is still kind of a blur to me. It went so quickly. I had really intense contractions once they started, the Doctor actually said that I should receive an award for longest contractions, somehow I didn't find that all too amusing at the time. Hmmm....wonder why!? Anyway, when it came time to push baby all was well until they realized that his head was coming down to the side and it just wasn't going to work for me to push him out. They prepped me for surgery and took me down to the OR. Down there they first tried to turn Isaiah around to see if he would so I could deliver naturally, but that just wasn't working and they were concerned about baby's heart rate that was rising so they decided to do a c-section. At that point it didn't bother me, I was far to tired to try pushing again and I was worried about babe. But he made it out safetly! Nathan watched the whole thing, amazed by what he was seeing! He was so excited to be a papa. He was my rock and encouragment throughout the whole process. I wouldn't have been able to do it I don't think if it wasn't for him being there coaching me along. Such an incredible experience!!
Our first few days in the hospital were a little rough. Nathan and I were both very ready to just get home. It's so much more relaxing to be at home. Isaiah is doing wonderfully!! He's sleeping like six hours between feedings at night already! I know I'm lucky for that. He's such a good baby. So content in his world right now and that makes me a very happy mommy!
Anyway I just wanted to give you all a brief update on how things are going and how they went!
talk to you again soon!
