Finally, some birth pictures.

Warning: There may be some mild language in this post. Do not read if you will be offended by a few well deserved cuss words. :)

Enjoy these pics. Here is a quick story of how the birth went.

7:30 am Feb 3rd. Hospital calls with my bed available

8:30 am - arrive at the hospital

9:49am - Dr. F breaks my water, and says "she's still up there and your still long thing and hard"

(so I am thinking "ok, it will be a while")

1:30pm. Nurse finally checks me and I am a 4. Contractions not too bad but might as well get the epi now, cause I don't want to wait. At that moment there was no one else on the epi list, by the time my nurse got out to put me on it, the two other chicks in the rooms next to me got on it before me. I said, "well what does that mean? How long do I have to wait?" And all of the sudden the contractions got really bad, just from her checking me. 20 minutes per epidural. So i had to wait about an hour. Suck a fricken Duck.

1:40- Epidural got ordered, but I had to wait for two other girls to get it before me. "Oh crap, but I was just at a 4, so surely I still have plenty of time to NOT feel this pain."

About 2:20ish the epidural man came. I was so excited to not be in pain anymore. I was telling everyone in the room to shut up during contraction, putting nail marks in Dave's hand. It was sad. I laid down after the epi and awaited reliefe....never came. I felt the babies head on teh first contraction after getting the procedure, and thought "surely that is not what I am feeling.. It can't be. I was just dialted at a 4." the next contractoin came and I couldn't control anything. I grabbed Dave and yelled, "Get.. the nurse.. NOW!" She came in looked at me and said "oh we're gonna have a baby!"

I started crying cause I wasnt' even numb yet. The nurses piled in and they were telling my not to push.

2:59 pm- Anabella Rose Riggio was born

I just couldn't believe taht I was going to feel everything. This is not what I wanted. Who freaken wants to feel that? You all are crazy, your not that cool just cause you decide you want to "go natural." If the baby comes out at all....that is natural people, medication or no medication, vaginally or c-section. The baby comes out. So to all you women out there that think you are sooooo awesome for not getting pain meds, your not that cool. What did you accomplish by doing that? Nothing. Just a shit load of pain and feeling your precious vagina rip open by a little turd of a baby. Now I am going to do shout out to all my ladies that get c-sections. You are all saints in my eyes. People just think that you had a baby, they forget you had to have your body cut open, your insides pushed around and pulled out, and a baby removed too. There is nothing normal about that. Now.....there are no medals to be won here people, so don't put anyone down or think you are higher on the totem pole just cause you went natural. I went natural, and don't feel cool at all. I Hated it. i was so focused on my pain that when they placed my sweet little baby on my chest, I was still just crying and screaming. Completely different from Allisandria's. I thouroughly enjoy every minute of that labor, luckily Anabellas was only 5 hours and I only had to push twice. I hated it thought. I didn't like being mean to people during contractions. I made sure I apologized to everyone. Especially my Dr. I think I yelled at him a little. And those of you who know me well know how much I loooove my Dr.

Here is what I learned for the next time I am in labor. Order the epidural as soon as my water is broken. I go from 0 - 10 too fast to have to wait for some other bitches to get the epidural before me.

Sorry for my language people, I am just really "passionate" about this experience.
