Life as we know it is a crazy thing. It has been pretty crazy for Alex and I the last 2 years. We have been through hell and back and still running through fire. Seriously were would I be with out him?? He gives me the strentgh and courage to keep fighting. How lucky am I to be with my best friend! This last week has made me have this deeper greater love and apprecitation for alex. Tuesaday morning my doctor stripped my membranes to try and put me into labor. By the 3:30 I though what the heck lets just go see if I am even dilating. I wasn't really having that many contractions. So I went in to the hospital. They kept me for an hour to watch and my doctor decided to go ahead and keep me. I was dilated to a 6. Now with this pregnancy I have started dilating early.. At my 37 week check up ( I was almost 37 weeks) I was dilated to a 3 and 50% effaced. So I went back tueday for my next visit and I was a GOOD 4. So he stripped my membranes. Anyways so I was dilated to a 6 and he broke my water. They came back like 30 min later and started me on the pit to help bring on more contractions. and then came the epideral. I wasa 7 by the time I got it. They epideral SUCKED. It hurt so bad. And the worst part is it didn't even really work. Well I was on the pit for a totally of 5 min. when out of no where I felt so much pressure and I had to push! Alex's sister was like helping me to just focus and stay breathing. Finally the doctor comes in.. pushed for like 5 minutes. And then My little 6 Lbs 7 Oz Jaxon Alexander was born. It was such an awesome experience. I could feel most of m delivery which made it so awseome.
After Jaxon was born I starting having high blood pressure. So Here I am day 4 of my hospital stay still sitting in bed trying to get it down. They upped my blood pressure medicine so fingers crossed it will really help and I can go home today! I miss my sweet Breanna and my home.
Before they gave my blood pressure medicine, They put me on an IV of Magnesiim Sulafate! I do NOT wish this upon anyone. It knocks you out and you feel like you have NO control over your body. I couldn't walk. My vision was blurred and could foucus my eyes. I did not feel myself and felt like I was going crazy. They finally too my off of it yesterday morning. They put you on it when your blood pressure is supper high and you have protein in your urine. it can cause seziers. But like I said they had to take me off of it. My vision was bad, I didn't have reflexes. I finally feel so what myself now.
This whole thing has been so hard but yet such an amazing experience for me. I have such a great appreciation for things. The Lord has truely blessed me through this and has been there. I am learning to really trust in the lord and know that he is going to take care of me. He is so real! He loves us and wants to be there with us every step of the way! This whole thing is making me a stronger person. The lord has answered my small prayers and has been by my side helping me get through one day at a time. I owe everything to him. He has worked majic on my life the last 2 years. He has helped saved alex and I's relationship... He truely does care and love us. He wants to help us and teach and guide us but we have to let him.. We have to let him into our lives.. My heart is fulled with so much love and graditude. People have been such a big help to use the last few days and have helped out so much.. I am so gratful for the people the lord has put into my life. He knows what we need at just the right time. I owe everything I have to him. without him I am nothing! He helps me get back up and do it again.
I am so grateful for this beautiful baby boy that we have.. He is such a sweet sweet child! I can't wait to see what he adds to our family and what the future holds for us. All I want is to teach my children and to teach them that god is real that he cares and loves us.. That without him we are nothing. it is becuase of him that we have what we do. I want them to know I know them and they can tell me anything. They could NEVER disappointment me.
Well, i am going to go try and sleep and wait for the doctor to come in.. Hopefully I get to go home today! I just felt like I needed to express my thanks to the lord. He has helped me so much the last few days!
LOve you all! Pictures will come soon I promise
