2:06 P.M. MARCH 8, 2010 !!
What a day!
It all started at 3:12 in the morning when my daughter (Angela) called me and said, "Mom I think my water broke! I'm on my way to the hospital meet me there! "
I jumped outa bed got dressed, brushed my teeth ,washed my face,(No Makeup!!!) ran into my youngest daughter's(Alyssa) room and grabbed her arm gave it a good shake and said, " You have to wake up! We're gonna have a baby! Alyssa jumped up got dressed and we were out the door!
It's now 3:45 and I'm driving like a bat outa hell to get to the hospital! Little did I know (or should I say forgot since I do remember doing this 18 years ago) I was rushing for no reason.. Hell I had time to put makeup on! We had a long day ahead of us...
We made it up to the room (only 2 people at a time so we had a lot of rotations going on in that room!)
Angie was having contractions every 4 minutes and the nursing staff was actually considering sending her home!! WHAT...
There is no way they are sending my child home!! She's in LABOR for GOD'S sake.. I don't care what your tests say... Needless to say she stayed!!! *Thank GOD*
So here we go..... its official ...I'm going to meet my Grandson SOON.....
They had to give her pitocin to speed up her labor which in turn made her contractions stronger so after a few minutes she decided it was time for her epidural...
After she was given the epidural it was like the angels were singing!! LaLaLaLaaaa No more pain!!
(If only I had know how wonderful that stuff was I would have taken that myself with all 3 of my kids.. How stupid was I.. I thought I was being superwoman going all natural!! Oh all the PAIN I could have saved myself!)
After that it didn't take long before he was here..The Midwife announced , "It's time to push!!!" Tears started flowing down my face.... OMG my baby girl is having a baby!!!
Phillip ( Giovanni's Daddy) at one side holding one leg and me (Nana) holding the other it was time to push!!!!......
She did GREAT... only 16 minutes of pushing and only 1 F Bomb and he was OUT!!!!
Giovanni Daniel was finally HERE!!!
Watching my daughter hold her son for the first time was a moment in my life I will never forget!!
I have OFFICIALLY BECOME A NANA!!!!!!!
Congratulations on the arrival of your grandson! He's a beautiful baby boy. Congratulations to your daughter Angela as well!
