On February 7th at 7am I woke up and started to feel pressure and cramping that lasted for 10sec. I thought maybe that's contractions preparing for the big day. After 5min I started to feel contractions again. I woke up Dantes and told him I just had two contractions. As I was sharing that with him, I had two more back to back. By this time we figured it out that Devan was coming! I did well with my breathing. I got Dante ready with breakfast, bath and dressed him. I knew this was the last day that Dante will be an only child. We got everything ready (Dante and my bag were packed ahead of time) and made sure I had Dante's lizards and snakes packed too. He can't go any where without his reptiles. It was about 10:00am when I started to feel pretty uncomfortable. Dantes had to coach me on breathing and making sure I was drinking fluids. He also gave me a stress ball to squeeze! Around this time the Magpayo's came to pick up Dante and his first time spending the night somewhere..I was so excited for him and also wanting him to be with me at the same time. Dante gave me a big hug and said "pretty mommy". I had a huge smile and knew he would be okay for the night. It's time for Dantes and I to go to the hospital!
Finally getting to the hospital, the nurse was waiting for me and had my room ready. The nurse checked to see how far I was dialated...I was 8cm!!! I couldn't believe it and I panicked because I was afraid I wasn't going to get any pain meds especially an Epidural. The nurse calmed me and said we'll give you epidural asap. I was so relieved! Everything happened so fast...paperwork, needles poking me, tons of questions asked, etc. I probably only had a good 45min of relaxing with Dantes and checking my phone.
Woohoo! I'm almost at 10cm and it's ready for show time! After 2 1/2 hours and 6 pushes, Devan John arrived at 1:29pm! Yes, I had a quick labor and fast delivery. We are so blessed and God answered our prayers for a healthy beautiful baby boy!
Please meet our son, Devan John Rosete born on Feb 7, 2010 at 1:29pm 7lb 8oz 20.5in
