My son is here!!!

I had my son on Dec 26 at 11:07 pm. He was 8lbs 3oz and 20 1/2 in. My water had broke on Christmas day but it didnt come out in a gush it just trickled every once in a while so i didnt know thats what it was . Went to the doc the next day and he told me it was indeed my water. So i went to L&D and they gave me pitocin and an epidural within minutes of each other. I felt almost no pain until near the end when i began to feel the urge to push. He came in just a couple of pushes!! I had some complications afterwards with my placenta and hemmoragged but they got it under control before they needed to transfuse or operate. It was scary for a few minutes but im recovering well.

I wanted to tell everyone here thank you for helping me come to this decision. When i look at him i cant believe i ever questioned having him. Everyone here helped me get through a very difficult time in my life!! My husband cut the cord and has came around completely. He is absolutely in love with him. We have had some rough times over the past few months but are trying hard to make our marriage work and i think we love each other more now than ever.

We named the baby Zain Ahmed Ali, he has black hair,big fat jaws,a double chin, and wrinkled neck LOL..he rarely opens his eyes so i realy cant get a good look at them. Breastfeeding is going well and so far the only problem im having is trying to change his diapers without him peeing in his face..those boy parts sure work different than the girl parts LOL

once again thanks everyone

Congratulations! Welcome to the world Zain! Smile It sounds like things went relatively well, and I'm glad that everyone is healthy and happy! The peeing in the face thing gets easier...lol.

Isn't it amazing how you just can't imagine life without him now that he's actually here? I'm glad you're happy sweetie! Congrats again!
