On the day before I was born, Mommy was having some mild Braxton Hicks contractions and was bleeding. But the doctor told her that I wasn't ready to come out yet. Maybe a few more days.
So Mommy went home, got a manicure/pedicure, and then decided to walk 8 laps around the Weehawken Track while carrying me. I believe that is 2 miles! About 3 hours after that, Mommy began having contractions. And then the next day, I was born! Daddy said when the doc pulled me out, my eyes were wide open and looking around!
Holy crap! I was pissed! It was so cold and bright! What the heck??? This is probably the most Chinese I'll ever look.
I was born at 10:20-something pm. I was 7lbs 9ozs and 22 inches. I was born vaginally after about 24 hours of labor, 1 hour of pushing, an epidural (which Mommy to this day won't stop raving about), an episiotomy, and a vacuum. The cord was wrapped around my neck during labor which caused my heartbeat to slow down every time Mommy lay a certain way. I got a little stuck in Mommy's pelvis but everything turned out ok! Daddy was such a great coach!! I could hear him cheering Mommy on the entire time when she was pushing!
