JOYCEANN LEILAINE VAENUKU!!

SHE WAS BORN ON FEB. 5, 2012 AT 1:07AM AND BOY WERE WE EXCITED WHEN SHE FINALLY DECIDED TO GRACE US WITH HER PRESENCE :) SHE WAS A WHOOPING 9.5 LB AND 22 INCHES LONG WHAT A BIG GIRL RIGHT.  

LABOR STARTED ON FRIDAY MORNING, MY MID-WIFE SUGGESTED THAT I GET INDUCED DO TO THE FACT THAT MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS ELEVATED, AND SHE DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR A PROBLEM TO HAPPEN, I WAS REALLY SCARED  NOT KNOWING WHAT TO EXPECT BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WAS EXCITED, MY HUSBAND GAVE ME A BLESSING WHEN WE ARRIVED I GOT DRESSED AND THEN THEY HOOKED ME UP TO THE IV AND MONITORED BABY JOYCEANN IS HEART BEAT, WHICH WAS BEATING STRONG EVERY MINUTE THAT WAS A RELIEF AND THE CRAZY THING IS WHEN I WENT IN MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS FINE, I GUESS THE LORD JUST WANTED TO GIVE BABY JOYCEANN THAT EXTRA PUSH TO COME INTO THIS WORLD :) 

SO THE WAITING GAME BEGAN, HUBBY AND I JUST PLAYED AROUND, ATE, TALKED ABOUT WHAT BABY WOULD BE LIKE AND, MADE VIDEOS ON HIS LAPTOP :) STILL NO PAIN, AND BEFORE YOU KNEW IT, SATURDAY WAS HERE :) THEY DECIDED TO GIVE ME STRONGER MEDS TO GET MY CONTRACTIONS GOING, BUT IT STILL WASN'T TO PAINFUL, I WAS STILL ABLE TO TALK AND PLAY AROUND WITH MY SISTERS AND MY HUBBY, TIL AROUND 5PM THEN I STARTED TO FEEL CONTRACTIONS BUT NOT PAINFUL AT ALL,THEN AROUND 7ISH THAT'S WHEN CONTRACTIONS STARTED HITTING ME ON A SCALE 1-10 IT WAS AT A 5 ITS SO HARD TO EXPLAIN WHAT A CONTRACTION FEELS LIKE, BUT IT HURTS, THEN AROUND 10ISH MY WATER BROKE, WEIRDEST FEELING EVER IT WAS A RUSH OF WATER JUST POURING OUT OF ME, AND I WAS SO SCARED MY POOR HUSBAND  HAD TO KEEP REASSURING ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK, AND THE WATER SEEM NEVER- ENDING. I WAS CRYING CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO STOP IT AND I FELT BAD FOR MY HUBBY BECAUSE HE KEPT GETTING TOWELS TO WIPE MY LEGS AND CHANGE MY GOWN. I FELT SO BAD FOR HIM :( BUT HE WAS SUCH A TROOPER THROUGH THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME I HAD A STRONG CONTRACTION I SQUEEZED THE HECK OUT OF HIS ARMS, I DUG MY NAILS DEEP INTO SKIN!! I THINK I EVEN LEFT SOME BRUISES.

11PM ROLLED AROUND AND I PREDICTED JOYCEANN WOULD COME ON FEBRUARY 4TH I HAD ONLY AN HOUR TO GIVE BIRTH TO HER, BY NOW CONTRACTIONS WERE AT A 8 I KEPT PACING AROUND THE ROOM, SWAYING MY HIPS LEFT TO RIGHT, I TRIED EVERYTHING TO EASE THE PAIN, MY MID-WIFE CHECKED ME AND I WAS ONLY SEVEN CENTIMETERS DILATED I WAS SO MAD, I FELT ALL THIS PAIN AND IT WAS ONLY A 7, I OPTED FOR A DRUG FREE LABOR, SO EPIDURAL WAS NOT AN OPTION, WHEN I FELT THE PAIN I KEPT TELLING MYSELF I CAN DO IT, MY MOM DID IT 9 TIMES SO WHY CANT I DO IT JUST THIS ONCE LOL!!! AND THEN IT WAS 12 :50AM AND I FELT LIKE THE PAIN WAS BECOMING UNBEARABLE I HAD MY MID-WIFE CHECK ME AND SHE SAID I WAS AT A 9 AT THIS POINT, BUT MY BODY WAS TELLING ME TO PUSH. THE COOL THING WAS MY MID-WIFE WAS TONGAN AND I WAS TELLING MY MOM I FEEL LIKE PUSHING. MY WHOLE BODY WAS JUST SHAKING MY MOM SAID IF YOU NEED TO THEN PUSH, SO MY HUSBAND CALLED THE NURSES. THEY GOT THE ROOM READY AN THE PUSHING BEGAN EVEN AT 9 CENTIMETERS LOL!!!
