My first biological child was bron today, 14 years ago! I can't believe how fast time goes by! He weighed a little over 6 lbs. He was born several weeks before his due date. He was original due date was Sept 13, which turned out to be The Little One's birthdate ...9 years later!
Anyway, it was a long arudous labor. I was at a coworker's wedding when the labor pains started. They started right before midnight on a Saturday. They continued through Sunday. By Monday they were a little over an hour apart. By Tuesday, I couldn't see straight. Unfortunately, I was dilated. What did they do? the hospital sent me home. They sad it might not be another week...ot two! Anyway, I was going through pain for all those days without sleep or food. You know what sleep deprovation does to a human, now add the pain of labor. On Tuesday evening, I went to the hospital and grabbed the doctor by his shirt. Ya think I was delirious? I told him, he better admit me and take this thing out of me...because I wasn't leaving. I pretty much looked like the excorist by then. He told the staff I was delirious from sleep deprivation and pain and told them to admit me. They broke my water on Wednesday and then he was born. I thought I would never have another baby....I was giving birth 11 months later to The Diva. Huh, who knew?
That's the short version of his birth. Their were complications, a little problem with distress and the issue with the umbilical cord that was wrapped around his neck several times...as well as tied into a pretzel in certain sections...but it all turned out ok.
Here is my Comedian. Happy Birthday! Mommy loves you very much!
