My miracle baby!!! (please read)
Let me start by saying I am truly blessed. I was supposed to be due September 14th but had to go in for an induction on the 19th that didn't go quite as planned. My cervix was still closed and thick all Monday. They inserted the pill twice and it didn't even leave a small dent in my cervix lol. Day 2 was petocin and contractions all day til I finally got to 3cm due to that folly (sp) ball they inserted. After that doctor said get an epidural so I can break your water. That was good news to me, finally some changes. So I got an epidural, which he tried in like 5 spots. Talk about a scary moment. And then they broke my water. Later that night I dilated to 4cm and by the next day which is day 3, September 21st I started progressing with the petocin. I reached 10cm by 12:00p.m and started pushing shortly after. I pushed for almost 2hours and then the baby's head got stuck. They kept telling me I had a narrow pelvis even before I started pushing. They knew that but they put me through 3 days of pain and wishful thinking just so they can do a c-section that I had asked for when they said my pelvis was narrow. So long story short I ended up having my c-section and delivered a handsome little boy named Devin Devon Pope Jr. It's not the suffering I went through that makes me say he's a miracle baby, its the fact that my baby was so stubborn and stayed in my womb long enough to be brung into this world the same day my late brother was. My brother Eric Kelly which many may know him by Officer Eric Kelly, one of the Fallen Heroes of Pittsburgh. He died on duty 4/4/09 along with 2other policemen for those who don't know the story. Well anyway my baby is born on his birthday and I just can't believe it. My brother was my everything and got taken away from me but now I feel like he is definitely walking this journey with me even though he's in heaven. Motherhood is a blessing alone but to have my baby on his birthday is a true miracle. I look at my baby and just start crying all the time because I know that he's watching over us. I miss him everyday and wish he was here to see him but now I know that he is with me and my son everywhere we go. I thank GOD so much because this baby has really filled that empty space that been in my heart since my brother passed. Now tell me is that a miracle or what?
