perfect.
I am about to take a nap.
Jayce has been passed out in his swing for hours and Justin is laying across from me on the couch, sleeping.
Since my last update...
Those contractions?
I didn't know if they were real or not because they didn't really hurt me.
Justin left with Shaun for Maryland and I went to my mom's.
We timed the contractions which turned into 4 minutes apart.
Justin was going to turn around but I told them not to because I wasn't sure if they were real yet or not.
Then, they went crazy and were jumping all around everywhere and were 3 minutes then 9 minutes then 12 minutes...
but then they started to hit me at 4 minutes for about an hour around like 8:00 or so.
I asked my mom when we were supposed to go to the hospital and she kept on saying I would know.
Well.. they were hurting pretty bad by now but I was still feeling okay.
Finally, at 10:00, my mom said we should leave.. so we were on our way to the hospital.
When I got there we walked in the ER and the lady had us filling out all these papers. When she started asking questions and I was jumping around on my tip toes, she asked what was wrong... I was like, "well.. i think i'm going to have a baby..."
like duh.
what does it look like?
her eyes went wide and she said, "oh hunny you dont need to fill ANYTHING out--you go straight upstairs!!!!"
They put me in a wheelchair and took me in this room where they hooked me up with morphine and made me pass out, pretty much.
I was super high and April (Jusitn's mom) got there and laughed at me.. I couldn't even keep my eyes open.
Dr. Cervone came in and hooked me up with an epidural.. I was so scared about getting one. He totally said it was going to be fine, though and explained it to me what it meant.
When the lady checked me, she could feel the baby's head but didn't know how many centimeters I was dialated.
She told me I have a weird cervix and called another nurse in.
That nurse told me the same thing and I was like, "what do you mean? is that bad?"
and they told me that i was tight but very stretchy and it would probably help me out, hahah.
wheeewww!
well.. i took a nap and justin got there when my epidural was wearing off.
They asked me if I wanted another one and I said yes.. she told me she recommended against it because it would slow down my labor and i can take the pain anyways because i have a high pain tolderance.
I was thinking, "what?? how the hell does she know my pain tolerance?! i will get another one because i would rather it go slow with no pain than fast and painful."
so they gave me another one..
..and then i got it understood that im not even to start pushing until it wears off.
so what;s the point of getting one?!?! ahhhh i was pissed.
so yeah it hurt pretty bad, just as i imagined it would feel like.. like all 21.5 inches of a 7lb 11oz baby coming out of your vagina.

I love him, he's just too cute. Haha.
Me and Justin take pictures of him no matter what he does.
So I delivered him Monday morning at 6:16am on the day he was due.
What are the chances? I'll tell you--3%.
The average baby is 7.5lbs and 21 inches long so he is perfect.
I stayed in the hospital Monday night, Tuesday and Tuesday night, and came home on Wednesday.
The first night with him was kinda rough.
Well, it wasn't that bad--not as bad as you would think--but he was sick and threw up because he had gas.
The second night wasn't bad because I got to sleep through it.
He had gas again and Justin took him out to the living room and fell asleep with him on the couch.
Last night was fine.. he woke up once and we all slept until about 8:30 this morning.
Now he is in his swing, sleeping. Passed out actually. He was crying when we first put him in it but we strapped him in, turned it on, played the music and he was fighting his eyes to stay awake until he gave in.
Nore has been at my mom's house since I went to the hospital.
She is training him for us so he will relax around the baby.
Justin went to get my prescription and while he was gone me and my mom let Nore smell him.
He was nice to him but we knew he would be.. the only thing is how hyper he gets.
Justin put Jayce down by Nore and Nore gave him a big ol' lick on the face.
Haha.
My mom said he's doing pretty well wth not jumping up and everything.
We are going to get him neutered so he settles down and if all else fails, we're getting him doggy ritalin.
haha, we dont want to give him up for nothing--he's still our chocolate dog!!!!!
anyways, like i said--i'm passing out.
kk lata.
