<Sweet Source>

I was hot, hormonal, and uncomfortable so I decided to take some Castor oil (DISGUSTING!!!) and see if that would encourage lil man to make a move. I waited alllllll day and NOTHING! So finally we ate dinner, watched a movie, and went to sleep. I wake up for my usual bathroom run at 12:03am and as soon as I hit the door-MY WATER BROKE!!! OMG! I've never felt anything like this! I felt like I was seriously peeing on myself but I couldn't stop it and it was a big gush like I was expecting it was a trickle down my leg. I woke John up and he told me I just wet myself lol. When I finally made it to the bathroom I was sure it was my water so we started to get things together.

I did my hair, he finally packed the overnite bag, I packed my SIMS and Jay-Z and we were off to the hospital lol. Oh yea we stopped at WAWA too (gotta have the Fruit Punch and Peach Iced Tea). SOOO around 2:30a we finally make it to HUP (worst mistake but anyway)...we get checked in, laugh w the nite nurses, joked in the room (since I work for the system we got the biggest room on the floor and the good cable lol}, watched Nick at Nite and then finally fell asleep, then-DAY SHIFT came in... :-(

I still felt nothing, a lil cramp here and there but the monitors made it seem alot worst then it actually was. The Dr comes in to do a check and just like everyone else she said he was still pretty high and she didn't expect him to come anytime soon but since my water broke I should wrap my mind around Pitocin which I was totally against (OH FYI: I'm doing this thing all natural, no drugs, no one in my back, and def no Pit). In my gut I knew she was wrong but she was harsh as hell so I ignored her and told her I'd just walk him down, "gimme 20 mins" lol they thought I was buggin. The Mr was doing a GREAT job at keeping my calm and Jay in the background put me in FULL BROOKLYN!

The stupid nurse whom I almost threw in the toilet kept trying to keep me on the stupid monitors like she never heard of a woman in labor walking around. Finally I snapped and told the Mr to tell her to get out of my face and that I'd let her know if the baby wasn't doing well (Drs make the WORST patients lol). Anyway, I kept feeling like I need to go to the bathroom SOOOO badly that my back was starting to hurt and I couldn't lay down or sit even if I wanted to. The only thing that felt good was sitting on the toilet or laying on the MR (I know tmi but hey...). This is now about 12:30p and the dummy doc and nurse are still trying to tell me I have a long way to go. Finally I tell the Mr to call them back in and get ready, I said "I need to push", do yall know these FOOLS had the NERVE to tell me "No you don't"??? Yo, rule #1, if the woman in labor is telling you she's gonna push, guess what?!?!? So they didn't want to listen to me, they kept talking to each other, I told the Mr to get down and look for it because I was pushing. I went fully into myself and just beared down.

Now the first push burned! so I stopped re-grouped and pushed again and I heard the Mr say "There's the head!". That got they dumb asses moving lol. Anyway two more pushes and finally my little miracle came screaming and wailing :-)
Why was everyone thinking he was so high up, well ol' boy came out at 22 inches long!!! so he seemed pretty far up but he's just tall lol
Anyway, the dummy doc tried to stitch me up, no anesthetic or NOTHING I almost kicked her and then they broke my heart and told me I needed to go to the OR because I had a third degree tear from him "flying out so fast" and I would have to get an epidural. I cried so hard because I was so nervous about these dummies playin in my back, I called in a favor and the BEST anesthesiologist came in and the head of the OR stopped by too and THANK GOD everything was fine and my little boy was perfect!
