A little of this...a little of that

Nothing to really talk about tonight. I went to school in the morning....which was soooooo boring. Came home, ate lunch, attempted to lay Cam down for an afternoon nap, failed, tried again, failed. Went for a lovely walk in a cementary with my mom and visited the graves of my great memere and pepere and seth's grandfather's. Have I ever mentioned the eery story behind Camden's birthday? By eery I mean really awesome. Cam's b-day is 10-17. Seth's grandfather's b-day is 10-7 and he died 10-10. A combination of Cam's b-day. Camden's middle name is Donald and that was his first name, as is Seth's middle name is Donald and Seth is a spitting image of him. Everyone who sees seth knows he's donald's grandson..people who have never met seth! He looks sooo much like him. So handsome<3 kinda wierd though huh? And of course, the story of how my water broke on the 14th of October and the dr.'s let me go 3 days after until my actual due date which is the combination of seth's grandfather's birth and death. So wierd. Usually you have to deliver within 24 hours of the water breaking, but my dr. is obv. a retard and let me go longer even though the test PROVED it was amniotic fluid I was leaking. My poor baby Cam out all dry with loose skin from loosing weight. And not to mention my labor was a totally dry one and hurt like a mother. Next child- I am getting the epidural! None of this trying to brave stuff, breathing through the contractions. F that.At the point When you NEED the drugs its the point that its too late. And your screwed and forced to push through the pain as my lovely nurse Rachel was yelling in my face as I screaming the common sayings that were some where along the lines of "GET THIS THING OUT OF ME", '' I AM DYING, DON'T JUST STAND THERE, HELP ME"..."I HATE YOU SETH FOR DOING THIS TO ME"...ha. I am sure any Mother's out there know excatly what I am talking about. So I am big baby and thought that I was going to die. I was almost certain my life was flashing before me eyes. Then he came out and everything was all better. That great moment of awwww was followed by the worst pain I have ever felt in my ENTIRE life. And at THAT moment I thought I was dying. No maybe I am, maybe that's the light, I was DYING. My placenta wouldn't budge, due to the dryness of everything and so my dr. took it upon herself after only 2 minutes, and no breastfeeding to help streghten the contractions or anything, to drop my bed, feet in the air and proceed to remove my placenta from the inside out. OUCH. Thinking back it makes me cringe. It makes me want to cry actually, that's how bad it hurt. It hurt worse then the whole laboring process. It hurt more then a 7 pound 20.5 inch long baby coming out. yeah, never a good feeling.

ANYWAY. I digress. That birthday date thing is pretty crazy isn't it? I think so. I feel like his grandfather is his angel and I am so thankful he's watching over him! The walk was nice, then we headed home and my mom made dinner...OHH and Cam fell alseep on the way home and he slept in his carseat for another hour! Ekk. I did strain my muscles, but an hour of sleep for him was a great thing. I am getting better at removing the car seat. I am getting better at this whole mommy thing. After dinner we went and worked on my aunt's old farmhouse she is fixing up. But Camden wasn't too impressed and needed some gross motor activity so we came home, gave him his tubby, let him play with some toys and laid him ever so gently down, sang to him for 20 or so minutes rubbing his leg until he fell asleep and now here I am. Should be sleeping since last night he was up every 20 minutes. Not kidding. Seth was like HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING? Don't they start sleeping at some point? ha. he's funny. The night before he screamed until midnight and then refused to stay sleeping longer then an hour and woke up ready to play at 8 in the morning. I am sooo tired. So that's where I am going. Bed! Sweet Dreams.
