The Day!

The day has arrived. It was March 6, 2009 and Alan and myself started to go to Big Bend Regional as early as 6:00 AM. We decided to stay overnight instead of driving an hour and a half from Presidio.

I was scared and at the same time so excited because I'd be meeting my son on this day. For the past few days though, it seemed like he was also ready to meet me because he just kept punching, kicking, and moving.

My favorite nurse, Sheila, welcomed me and put me in the room. I loved that room because of its interior and view from the outside ( mountains). Again, the usual routine of checking my BP, the baby's heartbeat, my urine, my blood, etc.

They basically started inducing me at around 8:00 in the morning. Sad part, I fell asleep.


At around 12 noon, I was completely dilated which was 10cm. I think my nurse was impressed that I dilated fast and in a few minutes, the doctor broke my water and I was ready to have William.

Damn, it was getting more painful by the second and the anesthesiologist was taking so long. I remember banging my head on Alan's hand. She came, gave me the prick. I was numb.

Push, push, push, and more push. At 3:47 my life immediately changed. My angel was born, my life, my little one, my little lion...William Isaac.

I am now a MOM!

I'm back!

Hi there folks! I'm back after 6 or more months. Well, it's been one big journey for me since I gave birth that I completely stopped blogging. I am now 100% hands-on with my cute little son, William Isaac.

As a recap, I was on my 38th week when Dr. Billings told me that he was going out of town and that he could either induce me or would just refer me to another doctor. Of course I automatically was in panic-mode because the much-awaited time has come and it had to be done ASAP.

I was a nervous wreck but Alan was there to support me so this is what I chose, I'd be induced on a Friday, March 6, 2009. So, we'll see how it goes.

I'm so ready to meet the little man.
