Labor...never again!!! YAY

Most of you have heard that our little guy finally arrived on June 9th, 2010 at 1:09pm. It was on his own which I was grateful for. My labor was fast and somewhat easy. I did get an epidural but unfortunately they think they punched a hole into my spinal fluid which is not a good thing. I did get relief for about 30minutes but then the pain came back. They tried to fix the problem but by this time I was ready to push. So I did have intense contractions that I felt but thankfully I only pushed for 9 minutes. The sad and agonizing part was I did get a spinal migraine from them hitting my spinal fluid. As long as I was laying down I felt fine...the minute I sat up or got up I got a migraine. So I should have gotten a blood patch while I was at the hospital but I thought I could handle it without one. The last thing I wanted was them touching my back again! That lasted four days...only one day if you count the day I called and they said I had to go to the ER. That was not going to happen with an infant. I waited until Sunday and finally called back again and got a very nice and understanding Nurse on the phone. They allowed me to come back to labor and delivery to have my blood patch done. It worked right away I felt relief...that lasted two days and then my headaches came back for another two days. So far no headaches but I have back pain in the area they went in both times.,.and my back randomly goes out...YAY! I will take that over headaches any day! The best news for me is...God willing...I will never have to do this again! We are DONE!!! YAHOO!!!!!

Brycen is doing great! He is such a love and I feel so blessed. The whole family is enjoying the new addition. His sisters Love holding him and they are such a big help. Thank you to all of you for the prayers and support. I will be posting pictures soon!! XO
