I didn't want children. I was perfectly content with letting everyone else have them while I just babysat and gave them back. I didn't think I would make a very good mother, so it was just better that way. So, when I found out I was pregnant, the emotions were intense.
I was angry, scared and sad. But at the same time, I felt a slight bit of excitement. It took just about the whole pregnancy to really get myself happy about becoming a mother, though I was still so, very scared for this child.
At 38 weeks I decided to try castor oil to get him out. I had gained about 40lbs with him, ALL in my belly. I was HUGE and miserable. Well, the castor oil started to work and I was contracting quite a bit. We went into the hospital and they were about to admit me when the contractions just stopped. So, we went home, but not until after my mom started her long journey from Ocala, FL to San Antonio, TX.
Then, when I was 4 days late I had some spotting. I went to Labor and Delivery where the Dr seemed to have absolutely NO clue what he was doing. He said I was fine and sent me home. At about 3am I got a call from the night Dr who wanted me to go back in. I was expecting they just look stuff over and send me back, but nope. When I arrived at about 4am, they were ready to induce me! FINALLY!!!
I was told to get comfortable and get ready to there a while because inductions aren't quick. Ha. They started my meds and everything at about 8am and at 1429 (2:29pm) Darien greeted us! Because I had an epidural, it was relatively painless until it came time to push. That SUCKED and it hurt like crazy. But when they put Darien on my chest and I saw him for the first time, he was well worth every second of it!
