Pregnancy & Birth Welcome

     The moment I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy. The year before I'd had a miscarriage, and now we were finally going to have the baby we wanted. I found at I was pregnant first by taking a home test then, I went to the doctor's just to double check. I was almost 5 months pregnant before we found out, because right up til then everything was normal and there were no indictions of me being pregnant til I began feeling a lil kick. After leaving the doctor's office that afternoon, I told my husband who immediately called his whole family to tell them (my hubby comes from a very large family). At this time I was almost 20 and my husband was 21. I was debating at this time on if I would go back to school or not, and I wanted to be a stay at home mom, so my decision was made. I would stay home. The pregnancy was considered high risk because I had high blood pressure, and I was monitored quite a bit in the last few months. The pregnancy seem to fly by, but I think it was mostly because I didn't find out til I was five months along. Other than having high blood pressure, the pregnancy seem to move along smoothly. I had three ultrasounds and choose not to know the baby's sex, I wanted it to be a suprise. One week before his due date (November 24, 1992) my blood pressure spiked higher then the doctor liked and he sent me to the hospital to be induced on Monday, November 16, 1992 at 11 am in the morning. I was induced and they broke my water around 4 pm that evening. My mom and husband were there with me during labor and my stepdad and dad were in and out just before, I almost broke my stepdad's fingers *grin*. During labor they thought they lost the heartbeat of my baby which was scary, then when he was born the cord was wrapped around his neck. My mom about passed out, her first born son died because the cord was wrapped around his neck (My brother, Eric Jason). Once the cord was removed, he cried and was given a very positive apgar score. He even kicked the clipboard of his incubator *smiles*. Our son was born at 9:14 pm on Monday, November 16, 1992. We were so happy, here we had a perfect, healthy, beautiful, precious baby boy who was our dream come true. Our lil bundle of joy...
