明明出生记 (2月2日， 2006)
整个孕期都在亲亲宝贝潜水，也应该做点儿贡献了。从小作文就不好，大家当流水帐看吧。
我儿子来的很容易。一直都没想要孩子，认为至少还可以等两年。到30的时候再说。可是越来越多不孕的例子再加上我妈一直再催，我就有点儿动摇了。和老公商量是不是先试试看。试三个月，有就要，没有再说没有的。老公没意见，一切由我决定。结果没想到马上就中标。连让我再考虑考虑的时间都没给。开始的三个月可把我折磨苦了，真是抱着马桶吐。都想过不要这个孩子。孕中期还好，就是特别想吃。经常去私房逛，自己还做了个菜谱本。后期就又苦了。睡不好觉，越来越重。我一共长了50磅。做饭的兴致早就没了。每天下班回家就想睡觉。走路都累，就更别提锻炼了。儿子预产期是1月22号，结果硬是拖到了2月2号。我爸妈16号就到了，以为儿子得早出来。我更是上班到31号，天天得承受同事们的“关怀” 。早上醒来先叹口气，又得上班。到最后有种错觉以为自己要怀孕一辈子了。 终于1号早上3点多，起来上厕所时感觉到点儿痛。看了表，阵痛大约7，8分钟一次。但是不太疼，就又回去睡觉了。心里祈祷着儿子你可快出来吧。1号和老公就没上班。一整天阵痛都不是太规律，5，6分钟，7，8分钟的都有。不好的是我腰开始痛，上过产课。记得好像是back labor。说是上腰麻都不好使。到了这份上，只能听天由命了。终于到了晚上6点多，阵痛的时间延长了。马上决定上医院。如果被撵回来就权当演习了。拿着早就准备好的包，爸妈带上大包小包吃的，就去医院了。在路上，阵痛就已经5分钟一次，每次1分多钟。到了医院，护士一检查已经开了4指。这下就不用回家了。7点半的时候进了产房。说要上IV。结果上这个IV是我整个生产过程最痛的。小护士好像还在见习，扎的我妈眼泪都下来了。最后还是得老护士来完成任务。因为我生之前一点路都没走，就决定先好好睡一觉，到时好有力气生宝宝。可实在是太兴奋了，只睡了一个多小时。这个时候阵痛还是可以忍受。疼的时候就用呼吸大法，不疼了就和爸妈，老公说会儿话。猜猜宝宝能长什么样子。大约11点，护士又来检查，开了7指了。宝宝的心跳都很正常，只能继续等。护士问要不要腰麻，但同时也说了麻药可能会使宫缩慢下来。我想想还能挺，就先等一会儿。 2点的时候，医生进来给我破了水。水还是清的，说明宝宝没在里面淘气。谁想到破了水之后我就开始浑身发抖。而且阵痛来的时候我也忘了呼吸。太疼了！(现在也忘了是怎么个疼法。) 马上要求上腰麻。可能因为是凌晨，麻醉师两分钟就到。还好没象姐妹们说的半个多小时。其实上腰麻一点都不疼。我妈后来告诉我说针头很粗。但当时可把我吓坏了。老公在前面扶着我，一个劲儿的和我讲去年我们去墨西哥怎么玩的潜水来分散我的注意力。还真起作用了。只感觉后背一暖和，就完事了。倒是我自己不敢动。护士说可能要两三个宫缩之后麻药才会起作用。可我下一个宫缩就感觉不到了。而且也不抖了。人家都是上了腰麻会发抖，我却是上腰麻来治发抖。每个人都是不一样的。大约2点左右，护士又来检查。这下好，开10指了。但是宝宝的头还没太下来。护士说可以再等等，但是如果想push也可以开始push了。不过大约得要2个小时。我实在是不想再等了，就决定开始 push。这两个小时真是漫长，前一个小时没什么进展。护士决定减少腰麻的量。开始我没同意，因为不想太疼。但后来我开始发烧，怕宝宝有危险就减了腰麻。还真不疼，但是我能感觉到往哪里使劲儿了。终于熬到了两个小时，怎么还看不到医生？我真的有点儿快挺不住了。就一个劲儿的闭眼睛使劲。没想到，再睁开眼已经有两个医生在房间里了，而且开始穿衣服。我在电视里看过，一穿衣服就是快生了。一直都是我妈和老公报着我的腿使劲，这回护士也把架子抽出来，把我的腿架住。终于看到曙光了。又push了几次就听所有人大声喊 “push, push…”。一抬头就看到我妈又开始擦眼睛，就知道是下剪子了。再然后就是宝宝的哭声。10个月的等待，27小时的labor，2个半小时的pushing，终于见到了宝宝。怀里抱着这个肉滚滚，热乎乎的小东西，我一句话都说不出来。老公也忘了照相。摄像机更是忘在了车里。老公后来说就是当时没记录下来，他也永远忘不了这个过程。由於过了预产期10多天，宝宝变成了大宝宝。重9 lb 5 oz，长21 inches。宝宝出来之后在我怀里有10多分钟，这个时候医生弄出了胎盘，我没有再用力，胎盘就出来了。生宝宝的时候没觉得什么，胎盘出来的时候肚子一空。然后又给我缝伤口。当时忘了问缝几针。不过我的伤口够长的。回家之后自己照镜子看只能用惨不忍睹来形容。
现在快满月了。自我感觉恢复的挺好。恶露没了，伤口也好了。宝宝非常的乖，不哭也不闹。现在眼睛已经会跟人儿了。就是脸上起了好多baby acne, 让妈妈非常的不舍。
爸爸写的出生记
It finally happened!
I finally added my first post to the blog. Oh yeah, we also finally delivered our little boy, Maxwell Yi. Max decided to show up at 6:34 am on Thurs. morning. He gave Mom quite a challenge but she didn't give up and PUSHED on through. I'm very proud of her.
We went to the clinic on Tues. for a scheduled appt. and the doctor "massaged the membranes", something which is supposed to help the labor and contractions come along. By Tues. evening Fei was feeling a few contractions and at 3 am Wed. morning she woke up and began timing them. She was able to get back to sleep but when she woke up on Wed. morning she decided that; "today might be the day". We stayed home on Wed. and timed contractions and called the hospital phone number for a little advice. They got our paperwork together and told us to come in once the contractions were a little less than 5 minutes apart. Well... that happened at about 6 pm on Wed. night.
We calmly packed up the truck with everything that we needed, Feii's parents included, and headed off to the hospital. When we got there they checked Fei and discovered she was dilated to 4 cm., so this was the real deal. After that they moved us to a nice labor/delivery room at about 8 pm where Fei was hooked up to a fetal monitor where we watched baby's heartbeat and the contractions. We watched Fei deal with the contractions for about 1.5 hours while the nurses prepared the room and helped us along with questions. They decided to break the water at about 10. After that things really started to pick up and Fei asked for the epidural shortly afterwards. The epidural was a noticeable relief, so much that she didn't even feel the next contractions. She was dilated to about 7cm. at this point and the contractions didn't slow down.
Fei was able to get no more than an hour of sleep at 1 am on Thurs. morning. She then woke up at about 2:30 and could feel some of the contractions. The nurses checked and she was very close to 10 cm. and that very soon she might be able to start pushing.
She started pushing at 4:10 and didn't stop until Max showed up. Fei worked very hard and I was impressed with all she did. I think the nursing staff and doctor were very impressed with Max's size, 9 lbs. 5 oz. Max came out and soon after he was cleaned up he began sleeping and resting from his difficult night. I think I went a little numb at the moment he arrived only to be awoken by all the commotion in the room. It's an indescribable experience. Fei and I were definitely experiencing a lot of expressionless emotion.
Altogether we were at the hospital for a little less than 48 hrs. We got home on Fri. night and I found out that I've been replaced as the, "man in her life". I've attached a few of the photos taken at the hospital but I'm sure once Mom feels a little better she'll be taking many more photos and updating them here.
