Well we did it!! I finally had my baby boy! Isaac Mark Hunka was born on November 6, 2008 @ 6:08 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs 5 ozs and he was 21.5 inches long.
It all started at around 5 am on November 6 2008 when my water broke. I couldn't believe it was actually happening. I was nervous, anxious and excited all rolled together. So we drove to the hospital at around 5:15 am and called all immediate family. Well when we got to the hospital I was still only dilated to a 1 and 70% effaced. But I was having some contractions that I couldn't really feel. So they started me on the "pit drip". And then the contractions really started coming. But they were still irregular but they went from like 5 min apart to 1 min apart. And I couldn't take it anymore. So at around 1:30pm or so I got an epidural. I was so nervous about getting an epidural but it didn't hurt at all. And after that I was good. But then I got sick and started throwing up. Which caused me to get a fever, I was running a fever of about 101. So after about 12 hours of labor the doctor came in and checked me again and I was only dilated to a 4 but I was fully effaced. So she decided that it was time for Isaac to come out. And we decided to do a C-section. By this point I didn't care how they got him out of me I was just ready for him to be here. So at 6:08pm Mr. Isaac Hunka was born and our lives would NEVER be the same.
However, Isaac had to be put in NICU because he was born with a fever because I had been running a fever. When he was born he was a fever of 103. But it went down to 98 so he was okay but they still had to pump antibiotics into him for 48 hours and keep an eye on him. Because his blood work came back for possible infection. But after 48 hours he was released to be with his mommy and daddy. It was very hard to not have my baby with me the first days of his life, but I knew that is where he needed to be. And I knew the nurses were taking good care of him. He was the only patient in the NICU so he was getting very spoiled.
On Sunday November 9, 2008 we got to bring Isaac home with us and were so happy. I never thought I could love someone so much like I love my baby boy, I am very blessed.
