Mason Thomas Dampier has entered the world!
May 27th 2009
Weight: 8lbs 9 oz and 19 3/4 long
This pregnancy was a walk in a park up until i hit 33wks, that is when little Mason wanted to join us a little to early. I started having contractions when i was baby sitting a little boy. I didn't know they were contractions until a friend of mine told me i needed to go to L&D to get checked out. So i went in and i was having contractions 2-3 mins apart. They stopped them and told me to come back if i started having then again.
Well here comes 34wks and i started having them again. This time they were 4-8mins apart, They stopped them again and told me that they were not going to stop them again if i had them again. That he would be able to come to this world healthy and happy.
Well I went to my 39wks OB appt and i was only 1-2cm dilated and 70% effaced. But they were worried about my blood pressure being so high. It has been high this whole time, this doctor was the only one that did something about it. Well they sent me to L&D to check it and we talked them in to inducing me the following day. My family was out here on there vacation so they all were here to help me. Thank goodness i am not sure what i would do with out them. The following day i got to L&D at 5am and they started to induce me at 7am. They broke my water about 8am. I was feeling great for a while then the contractions started to get harder and harder. I hit 5cm pretty fast about 12pm. Well I asked for the epi, There is not way i would have done it with out it. I was in labor for 14hours and had baby Mason at 8:58pm.
I was in so much pain Dustin had to help me take a shower. I thought i was about to die. Well Mason did some work on me. I tore so bad and had no idea that i had so. He is very worth the pain.
Today Mason is 3 weeks old and now weighs 9lbs 13 oz and is 22in long. Growing so fast i can't even believe it. I am still in some pain from it all. I am healing very slowly. My mother stayed out here with me for 2 wks to help me out. And she helped a lot. She would get up with Mason at night and let me sleep. Now my mother in law is coming out to help since i can't heal very fast trying to do things. My doctor said if i don't sit down then i will never heal. I am so thankful to my family that is helping me out. I have no idea how to repay them. I just want them to know how much it means to me. I feel very loved!
Thank you so much Family and Friends!
