is this weeks blog topic from @rambo and @missy. My son is one of only 6% of babies born on their due date, but it's not his day of birth that was the best day of my life.
The day my son was born was awful. Late November, cold wether, up from 3am with labour pains and the fact that I hate hospitals doesn't help. I wasn't in labour for too long but it was just awful, I refused to have any drugs of any kind so at certain pouts I just wanted to give up completely. It wasn't just the labour part, it was the fact that I had to stay over night and all the way through until 9:30pm the next day- in a shared room of four with no phone signal, no real food I could eat and a woman who just would not comfort get constantly screaming baby. It was horrible. The only thing I will say was good about that day was holding my little one before anyone else did. After that I was left on my own without any help and I had no clue what I was doing.
However when I finally came home, after an ECG, blood tests and hours of waiting, I pretty much went straight to sleep and my partner took over. To this day I feel bad about this but I was in such a daze and barely aware of my surroundings due to lack of sleep for almost 48 hours (and of course from pushing a human out of me).
The next day was just beautiful. I held my little one all day and just couldn't let him go. I had never felt so happy as I had in those (well rested and now alert) moments. I did the stereotypical kissing him constantly, smelling him all the time, stroking his face, new parent thing. But I couldn't help it. Until that day, I had never felt so peaceful, I literally had no other cares than to stare at that little person I'd made and I was just so proud. And until this day no one can make me feel the way he did. For someone who didn't want children, and who at the time of becoming pregnant was completely off the rails, he has completely change my life and made me the person I am today- a person I finally like.
I do apologise for the 'corny' blog but hey, I'm just being truthful (plus I have a new blog ready for in a few days filled with butts, boobies and many other shenanigans. But, I'm allowed to post blogs like this from time to time)
