So there's this boy... and I have fallen in love with him!
On October 11th, Joseph and I went to my 8:30am OBGYN check up. It should have been a normal visit like the week before, but I was feeling very off that morning. And the night before I had a hard night, so when the midwife told me she wanted me to go to Labor and Delivery, I wasn't too surprised.
Joseph and I checked into the hospital around 9am. I texted my boss saying that I might be late/not coming in that day. At the time I didn't feel like I was going to have a baby that day, so I thought we would just have some blood work done and head home later. But apparently the doctor had other plans. He wanted me to stay there for 6 hours, getting my blood pressure checked every 15 minutes. If my blood pressure continued to stay high, they informed me that my baby would be coming that day. However, my baby had this funny habit of making lots of flips and turns inside if me, and this day he had flipped the wrong way and was breached. Knowing that we might have to deliver the baby with him being breached was a little nerve racking. The doctor suggested a c-section and honestly I felt good about it.
By the time 6 hours had come and gone, it was obvious that we would become parents. Around 3:00 the doctor was telling Joseph and I about our options. We asked when the c-section would happen and the doctor said immediately. We moved to another room where I signed consent forms and was prepped for surgery.
As I laid on the operating table, I just watched my husband. He was watching the whole surgery, and I was watching him. What felt like a minute after we started I heard the best noise of my life, my son's voice. He didn't bawl like I thought my newborn would, but he made some noise. Just like that Joseph left my side to go be with him. Then Joseph came and laid him next to me.
Words cannot describe the feelings I had in this moment. It was love at first sight. Welcome to the world my little Ezra.
