It’s taken me a while to blog because, as all of you readers know, being a new mom is busy (and tiring). I can’t believe how much a 5 lb little baby requires…but I LOVE IT!
Many have asked so here is my birth story:
Sunday, May 27, Jimmy and I
were at our friends’ for dinner and games.
We got home at 10pm and I started preparing some things for a BBQ we
were hosting for 20 people the following day (Memorial Day).
10:30 pm my water broke (3 weeks early): I was in the kitchen making banana bread and
I honestly thought I had just come to some pathetic level of pregnancy and
couldn’t control my bladder. Then, in
the bathroom I realized “wait—my water just broke!” (Jimmy started freaking out and we even
called the hospital asking them if this meant we were suppose to go to the
hospital and if we were having the baby tonight. They guy responded with a pathetic “yes.”)
Midnight: By midnight we were all checked into the
hospital, I was in the delivery room and my contractions began. I remember asking tons of my mom-friends how
I would know the difference between Braxton Hicks and real contractions. I laugh now looking back. Yeah…there is a DEFINATE DIFFERENCE.
4am: Got epidural and almost thought of naming my
son after the man who invented it! Jk.
8am: After an hour of labor, Trevor James Robison
was born. 18.5inches, 5lb 6oz
