Tuesday the 28th, I was sleeping and woke up to go to the bathroom. Well, I went to the bathroom, but than all of a sudden I had water coming out! My water broke at 11:15 that night and Trevor was at work. I was thinking, "oh no! Bentley's coming early!" So, I called my doctor and she said to go straight to labor and delivery. Getting a hold of Trevor was the hard part. He doesn't get service up at the dam and I didn't know how to get a hold of him, so I called my mother in law. I let her know my water broke and she called the dam and had them give Trevor the message. Well, by the time Trevor got home to me it was 12:40. We quickly threw a bag together of stuff for us and headed to Spokane. I was feeling just fine, except for all the fluids still coming out.
We are two hours away from our hospital and the drive didn't seem that long. I wasn't hurting at all and not really feeling any contractions and Trevor was hungry, so we made a pit stop at McDonald's on the way to the hospital. We arrived at Labor & Delivery and they had a room waiting for us. My nurse Jen checked to see if it was my water that had broken and it was so we were getting all checked in and waiting to see what the next couple of days would bring us. They got me hooked up on an IV, because I was dehydrated and needed fluids in me. By the time we were settled in it was almost 4:00 am Wednesday morning.
Wednesday was a very long day. I slept most of the day. My doctor kept coming in to see how much dilated I was. I had to get some medicine to help make my contractions feel more and more intense. I was dilated at a 2 when I got to the hospital and was still at a 2 when I woke up. When I got the medicine to help my contractions, I went up to a 4, but stayed at a 4 for a good few hours. I wanted my epidural right away because I didn't want to wait to be in pain than get it. As the day went on I was dilating so slow, and I just slept for hours.
By 9:00 that night, I was finally at a 6. They kept upping my medicine and they were determined to have my baby boy out before midnight. My contractions kept getting worse and worse and I was wondering why I could feel them when I had my epidural. My doctor checked my cervix to see if I was finally ready to push, and I was and the time was 11:40. I pushed for about 20 minutes and after my last push, my baby boy was finally here.
Bentley Jess Simpson
Born on October 30, 2014. 12:01 A.M.
7 lbs, 1 oz and 19 inches long.
24 hours of labor was definitely worth it.
He came 3 weeks early, but I am so glad. He's the most perfect baby and he's already so spoiled. We are already so in love with him and he's daddy's little buddy and mama's little boy.
Everyone says he looks like me, but I just can't see it! He is literally a blessing from Heavenly Father. I'm so glad to be a mom and I'm glad Bentley is apart of our family.
He's perfect in every way and we are so glad to finally be parents!
