Finally, I am able to post this! What a whirl wind of two weeks! As I type this, baby is crying, so I need to go nurse.. sigh. My boy nurses lately, 24/7 and only likes to sleep on his mama. I am enjoying every minute as he is our last!

 Birth Story:

First, I will tell you the story! I was released from the hospital at 10:30 pm-ish. took off makeup, went to bed with contractions 7-8 minutes apart very strong ones. I was just starting to get a contraction and I heard a very loud “pop”. My water broke in bed, but did not leak out, thank God. When hubby helped me out of bed it GUSHED EVERYWHERE!!! OMG.. IMMEDIATELY I started getting HUGE and HARD contractions it was HORRIBLE. But, if you all know me, I had to put back on my makeup 🙂 while the contractions were killing me. Before I knew it, we were all in the car RACING as fast as we could to the hospital. By the time we got there I was screaming in pain. I had to check in AGAIN and sign papers with such pain,it was just HORRIBLE. when they wheeled me upstairs to l&d I screamed “get me an epidural!!!” because I KNEW I could miss the chance. Once in the room, three nurses stripped me naked and put on my robe because I could not. Then I got into the bed and the contractions were making me cry sooooo hard, omg, I hurt sooo badly. They had SO much to do before I was able to even get an epi. Ten minutes or fifteen minutes after they first checked me (I was a four by then) they checked again and I was a 7. Ten minutes after that, I screamed I feel pressure, I HAVE to push! They checked me and i was a ten and baby was coming out! They said “no time for an epidural!!” When they said that i had NEVER in my life screamed soooooo loudly and started crying in FEAR. I was supposed to give birth NATURALLY?! OMG, no way. no way no way. The doctor whom i never met before, was pulling into the parking lot and she raced upstairs on ly to deliver my baby IMMEDIATELY upon coming into the room! I pushed for 6 minutes and at 1:40 am, only being at the hospital not even an hour, I gave birth to a little boy! Kellan Dax Delatorre. 7 lbs 1 ounce and 19.5 inches long. This little boy WANTED out, I knew it, but apparently the nurses did not. If they had only kept me and listened to me, I would have had my epi. This was the first birth that my parents did not come to in time, LOL. My little boy is absolutely beautiful and TINY and alll mine!!!! He breastfeeds like a champ and is soooooooo tiny and cuddly. I LOVE HIM! And so does his brother Z and Sissy P!!!!!!!!!! We are in love!!!!!!

So, I posted that birth story on my FB page too, so if you see it twice, well then so be it 🙂

    Congratulations! What a wonderful name and family you have. Too funny about having to put makeup on before going to give birth! Enjoy every second with your new little one.

    He is an absolute doll and I love the name you chose for him! He won’t stay “tiny” long, so I hope you enjoy him because, as you know, the next thing you know you’ll be potty training.

    Best to all of you 🙂

    Congrats from a blog fan! So happy for you, he is darling and I love his name! (Sibblings are precious too!)

    I know you’re NOT supposed to say a little boy is beautiful but he IS! What a champ you were Kim! Wow, it sounds much like my daughter’s story. Mommies know best and WOW how fast those little ones can make an entrance.
    I took my daughter to an area hospital against their wishes really, as her hospital was an hour away. They thought with this being her first baby she was at least half a day away from delivering. I drove STAT to that hospital, she didn’t even put on her shoes, marched in past the check in and up to the L & D and promptly had her son 8 minutes after entering the hospital doors.

    I know you are so enjoying him AND your sweet family. You are so blessed!

  33. Sandy VanHoey says

    Congratulations! he is adorable and I cannot believe you didn’t even have time for your epidural…wow! So glad it didn’t take too long though! He was just excited to get to see y’all in person. Can’t wait to see all upcoming pics.

  34. Heather S. says

    He is so cute!! Congratulations. Makes me want to have another one! Well, maybe not. 🙂 So happy for you.

  38. JaKell M says

    so beyond happy for you! You deserve it! He is simply adorable!!!! Way to go Mom, you did awesome! After having 4 kids all natural I can so relate. My first three natural were a breeze…”K” wow that was a whole new world, never been in so much pain in my entire life and 5 hours of hard labor was horrible. In that regards I am glad I am done and he is my last, but looking at your cute little guy I already miss the baby, baby stages that we will never have again but so loving my busy on the go little toddler. Wishing you the best, sleep and lots of cuddles! Congrats again!

    Congratulations on your beautiful new baby boy!

    Oh, and I can relate to a lot of what you wrote, in regards to my second baby! She wanted out in a hurry also, and no time for epidural. You think you screamed?!

    Best wishes to your family!

    Best wishes to your family!
