So it looks like Ethan is the winner of the fantasy due date. GG and I went to the doctor Monday November 17th to see how things were moving along to our surprise nothing was happening not dilated and water not broken. Hmmm Ethan was too comfortable and enjoying his accommodations a little too much. hee hee The doctor suggested after a few visit to see and my blood pressure being somewhat high she asked if I wanted to be induced. At this point yes she said okay go to the hospital at 1:00pm to get a pill to start the process. Yesm Ethan was getting evicted from his belly accommodations. We decided to go back to the house grab some food and the hospital bags just in case. What failed to be mentioned at the original doctors appointment was when they gave me the pill to induce I was begin admitted to the hospital. But of course we didn't know that when we arrived they took us in a delivery room where she said okay put the grown on. I said what do I need a grown for when I'm just taking a pill to induce me...the nurse giggled and said "oh no sweetie, your begin admitted." Uhhhh what was my reaction so had to text dad to be what was going on. As I got hooked up to the machines the nurse asked do you feel that...yea normal movement to me Ethan had been pushing outward on my stomach for a while and a little discomfort but we figured they were just braxton hicks. The nurse said "your actually having contractions and since they are so close together I can't give you the pill to start to induce me. Sigh okay...after several nurses and doctors checking to see if I had dilated the pain became to much to handle. The first epidural was given on day two...I was now numb from the belly down. I could feel pressure in the beginning and then pain started...the crazy thing is the epidural now wasn't working for the pain. In and our of sleep and enjoying having my family support by my side more contractions came. The second anesthetists arrived and gave me his cocktail mix into my epidural tube it worked for a little before he had to administer a second epidural. More medicine was given to me to dilate they checked 1 1/2 cm ummm I needed to make it to 10 and we were already on day two. Things became a blur after a while...I was drained and hungry I had been placed on a liquid diet and during the second day I was able to have solids. In and out of sleep and medicine to help me focus points on the ceiling and feeling like I was in a boiler room I was checked again. This time good news my water had broken however after being placed on some much I had no idea but then the bad news I was only 4cm and I had been complaining that I could feel the catheter they discovered I had preeclampsia. We were now going into day three my blood pressure was high and after pushing to release pain meds I started to throw up. At this point the focus points, dad to be coaching me, along with GG Ruth and G'm Knight the decision to have a c-section was happening. The nurse comes in with a release which they should have given to someone else first since I was all over the place. Andrew reviews with G'ma Knight and we sign. We are now at day three and I am wheeled out my God mom and Ruth kiss me and tell me next time we see you, you'll be a mommy. :) Andrew at this point is told there is a chance that he won't be able to go into the room with me but they would let him know. Thank you GOD everything worked out where he could be by my side. The anesthetists we had was awesome he and Dr. Su let me know what was happening calmed my breathing and helped Andrew and I get through. Andrew by my side... the process to get Ethan out began. Andrew nerves started telling me what was going on in the room. I had him talk to me about something else until we could hear Ethan's cry. Love my husband he starts talking about fantasy football ha ha whatever works right. He talked about plans for thanksgiving (don't really remember much after fantasy football but this is what Andrew told me) plans, a couples trip with our cousins and close friends one year. I heard a little cry Andrew step away took some pictures and rush back to my side. I had passed out from everything. They placed us in the recovery/monitoring room where we bonded with our son. I remember waiting to see him and wanting food badly. lol After two hours of recovery we were taken to the maternity and delivery floor where GG and G'm got to meet Ethan. What a priceless moment. More family and friends arrived and met Ethan for the first time...Andrew and I are truly blessed. Everything after Ethan arriving was a blur. Ethan James Towler Cheng was born November 19th 2014 at 11:39am. Andrew and I can't believe it... WE ARE PARENTS NOW!!!! Thank you God for the blessing of parenthood.
