We arrived at 730am at UMC Birth Center, to fill out the piles of paperwork that comes when you have a child. At 8am We were lead to room 11, where the whole birth would take place. After exams and IV's, we got pitosin started. I was already having contractions and had been since 36 weeks, this now on my 39th week of pregnancy. I had and amazing doula or birth coach, Sarah. She got me on a birth ball, and started diffusing oils. The Contractions started picking up. Around 1pm Dr B checked and i was at a 6Cm. we thought we were in for a long evening. Dr B returned to clinic, Contractions picked up hot and heavy. I asked for demoral ( iv pain med sent from the Heavens). Colton Didn't like it much, his heart rate kept dropping after trying my sides. Mike and Sarah got me to my hands and knees...where things took a turn. I felt different, the contractions were different. I felt more pressure. So i had them Check me....9 1/2..... I by know was in a trance trying to calm myself and keep myself from pushing. Because my body had taken over. I rolled to my side where my husband, mike, was. There he tried to calm me and I just wanted to punch him.... im not really sure why. Then....it popped...my water...all over me the bed and at the time I thought my husband. I just looked up at him and said.... I'm Sorry... where he insisted I had done nothing. From then on was a blurr of me trying not to push, people telling me to breath...which I was trying to calm my breathing, I have this fear of drowning and in this moment I was...I had people setting up, and my only thought was if this dr doesn't get here fast, I'm going to push!!! Finally Dr B walked in and i here " do i have time to get dressed..my thought " God I hope hes not naked" followed by "HURRY UP IM PUSHING!!"
I relaxed enough to gather my thoughts and push....2 pushes and me asking God to Guide me.... Colton Sawyer Thomas-Fuller At 2:46pm. Oh how he looked like a mix of his sister and brother, the perfect combo. His Hair, oh his hair. not curly but not straight. His eyes a grey blue.
