As some of you all know,
and I have officially brought our little guy Earthside. I could tell you all the details of the labor and bore you with what we've been up to (hint: it hasn't been sleep), but babies seem to only do a few things; eat, sleep, cry, poop, and repeat.
Instead I'll just let you in on a few thoughts that have went through my mind during the big ordeal.
"Oh, shit! You want me to come to the hospital TONIGHT?! to be induced?"
As I'm parking the car and walking into the hospital "Hmmm. I've never even been in the hospital before."
"Omg. That nurse just saw my butt."
"Ouch, getting that iv kinda hurt!"
"Holy shit, that contraction hurt. Is he trying to rip out of Mr through my bellybutton?"
"Yes, please jab that 3 inch needle between my vertebrate because that will feel better than the contraction that is about to hit."
"The person who came up with the epidural had to be a woman."
"Whose leg am I touching?" Seriously, you become that numb (and paralyzed).
"10 cm? So I'm to have a baby in the next few minutes?" Followed by: "You mean I have to keep pushing with all of my energy every minute and half until he gets here?" Its harder then it looks in the movies, people. And it took an hour.
Things get kinda blurry after he is finally born. The emotions that I felt cannot be explained with words, as I'm sure any parent will tell you.
I want to say thank you to everyone who reached out to either myself or Cryptopapa during this special time in our lives. I've already started keeping track of the flighting thoughts that are barreling through my mind since we've been home from the hospital (besides the typical "Omg, is he still breathing?!". Not even kidding 😅).
P.S. Now my handle is finally not making a liar out of me. Can't wait to teach the boys about cryptocurrencies ☺
