    Yesterday November 30, 2012 at 10:10 am, I was scheduled to see my Ob-Gyn office, after being in serious pain that was causing me not to get much sleep. I went 7 days with 27 hours of sleep... which was physically killing me... the baby of course was fine... but I of course wasn't to my DUE DATE 12.5.12 so they kept tell me there wasn't anything they could do... which left me in tears and tons of pain... so I seriously asked about switching providers because I wasn't getting anywhere and obviously three trips to either office and labor area wasn't giving them any idea of how much pain I was in. 

    After an hour of pure Hell and then some and getting told to head over to the ER to be evaluated... and of course being stuck in limbo for an thirty minutes... I was in pain and it wasn't getting any better... they hooked me up ... Baby's heart beat was beautiful and I was having contractions but only 10 seconds long that came 7.5 minutes apart ... it wasn't full blown labor... so after being watched and told I was seriously only 3 centimeters dilated and still only 50% effaced... they would think about doing a membrane sweep... well when they came back 2 hours later to check to see I was still in the same spot my Ob-Gyn said that he'd been talking with the office people and they came to realize that yeah I was in discomfort, yeah I'd been there back to back the last three days... they went over the inducing stage and plan... I was like okay ... so me being on the low side of the scale to possibly having a C-Section they went a head with it... we moved me from exam room 2 to delivery room 5 ... which wasn't bad we went from a super cold room to a mega hot room... but that was okay it kinda helped out.

     So around 1 pm we started pictocin (a drug to jump start contractions)... around 4 pm they came in to check me I was about 4 centimeters dilated and still only 50% effaced... joyful right... yeah it wasn't the greatest... so at that point they said we'll break your water... well I requested the epidural so we choose to give that to me first before we broke my water cause that can cause you to progress faster... and well yeah here's how the rest of the night went...

    We broke my water around 5 something in the evening because it took a little bit for them to get the epidural stuff ready and me into a position that worked... which was fine... by me... I was a champ I had gotten two other times no big deal... but this guy was awesome gave me epidural and cheered me on making me feel like I was human with needs ... so once we got me all numbed up we broke my water and they said we'd need a pediatric doctor when I delivered cause he apparently pooped in the womb and they wanted to make sure he was alright... so okay that wasn't normal but we'd live with it... around 6 pm they checked me I was only 5 centimeters dilated and still only 50% effaced not big deal they said they'd be back to check around 9/10 pm ... well Lorne decided to head out around like 8 pm to head to the house to get somethings well... I started feeling my contractions... and it felt like I had to take a poop, yes seriously (now here's were it's gonna get a little more than PG) so the nurse who was setting up for delivery... that we didn't think was gonna happen before 9/10 pm went and got the Ob-Gyn (who happened to by my actually Ob-Gyn Dr. Patton)... he came in and said well let's check you and I said okay and he was in complete shock cause it took me 1 hour to go from 5 to 10 and 50% to 100%  ... apparently I was ready and my body was pushing on it's own. 

    So we instantly I was told to watch t.v., play on my cell phone and all the nurses and doctors rushed around because we weren't ready for him to come and boy let me tell you he wanted OUT! It was bad because we all tried to contact my husband who was on his way home... he made it to 47 in Hadley and turned around... we all though we had time... well Kayden said nope I'm ready ... well right as we were about to start pushing my husband walked back in the door... he made it just in time ... I was very relieved that he was there for me... cause my mom & sister got to hold my legs while my husband cheered me on along with the nurse who help me crunch into a ball... within 4 pushes he was out... I tore a little but not enough to warrant stitches... but I am still on watch cause of my levels and the fact that I haven't been doing too hot with the lack of the bleeding... I passed a horrible clot that they call moderate and to watch out for cause if that came back I'd be hooked back up to a drug to slow down my bleeding... yikes makes me a little nervous. 

So we got to welcome little man Kayden Lucas Hatt at 8:04 pm last night... we barely had time to notify people that I was going to deliver... let alone give anyone updates to how I was doing cause it went so fast...

                All post pictures LATER!

Let's just pray it ain't on Thanksgiving... all be very very sad... but very very happy too!

playing catch up

Let's play catch-up....

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012 at 4pm I called my OB-GYN's office becaues I was having horrible pains, eating was making them worse & laying down wasn't at all helping me. I waited an hour for them to call me ... they never did... oh wait they did... they called the WRONG NUMBER! Then left a message for someone other than me until they got to the end and said sorry I meant Amanda. How do you make that big of a mistake.
So I did what I was told, eat more ( which made no sense ), layed on my left side which only upset Kayden more and cause more pain from him kicking and attempting to move, and of course watch out for contractions... joyful right... the pain got worse, the cramps stayed the same but since I was so afraid of being told the same thing over I never called I went practically a week with no sleep, delt with cramps that finally went away as of today...
So finally after being bent over in tears on Monday, October 29th, 2012 I called and spoke to someone ... they were gonna originally have someone call me back but said since I hadn't gotten much sleep and was in tears they could see me at 2:10pm and I'd see a midwive... I said okay ... got a last minute baby sitter for my two other kids and of course drove off in Hurricane Sandy's unwanted weather... was there for an hour... to find out from a docotor who I dislike because she never has answers, she is always in and out and very empty... that my cervix is closed, yet she really couldn't seem to locate it ... she cause more pain then a pap smear like seriously wtf ... how did you get to become a Ob-Gyn Dr. if you have no answers EVER! but was told my cervix was really really soft... some to do with past pregnancies but some to do with this pregnancy... JOYFUL right!

Well I then went to be observed ... it took TWO nurses to find the heart beat of Kayden... like really and when they did they had to constantly push into my stomach causing so much pain that I was almost in tears like really WTF your not supposed to make me hurt more... I was told some cramps were actual contractions while others were just cramps... I'm like so that mean's what... and I get an I am not sure we have no answers... GREAT just what I want to hear.

Well I tell them after they wanted to monitor me for a full hour that I need to get home to my other children cause I wasn't gonna sit in that pain, if it got worse I'd of course call back and come in and be seen. Well my husband got outta work early since EVERYONE had to be off the road by 4pm. So we both got home at the same time... I then tried to eat something and rest... I didn't eat much cause I was to sick... and upset with what I was told... But then later that night I got a call from WOMANCARE OBGYN asking me to confirm Wednesday's appointment... which brings us to today!


Wednesday, October 31st, 2012 (HAPPY HALLOWEEN)
I'm 35 weeks! I'm allowed to deliver at Cooley Dickinson Hospital if Kayden decided to come early... which I'm semi certain he will... He's being a pain and causing ton's of pain. It's very discomforting. I've also had two pregnancies pretty much back to back. Connor my middle son was born last year... I found out I was pregnant April 2012 only 4 months after my son turned one... normally it takes a full year for your body to completely BOUNCE BACK... for me to have a full year with no issues would have been MAY when I found out I was pregnant with Connor...

I have an OB-GYN appointment today at 1pm and of course all do another update then but I haven't had the greatest luck with my OBGYN office this time around, they've had no real answers to most my questions... which isn't reassuring at all ... makes me wonder... honestly.

All def. be updating some of the baby bump photo's cause you can see a def. drop in his position ... it's INSANE!

I'm honestly ready for him to be out... if they can't do a test to figure out if I'm gonna go in the next two weeks I'm gonna ask to be induced when I hit 37 weeks cause there is no way I can do this for 5 more weeks ... not with two kids I'd have to be placed on bed rest and get constant help with my other kids...

Well that's all for now... all see you later this after noon!
