Birthing details not for the weak of stomach

So some of my friends have been curious about the details of this birth. So to save me from retelling the story to everyone, here goes. If you don't like female words don't read. So at 5:30 a.m. on Jan 7 I got up to go to the bathroom and leaked a little. I thought to myself huh! I haven't peed on myself this whole pregnancy. So I changed my clothes and sat down at the computer to look up signs of your water breaking. When I got up to follow the steps they told me to do on WebMD I leaked again, so I woke up Chris and luckily my brother had stayed the night so we went to the hospital. And sure enough it busted all over everywhere. Grossest feeling ever. I talked to my doctor on the phone about how he felt about my trying to have this one vaginally. He said since I had a C-section with the last one that he would only let me labor for six hours and if I hadn't progressed enough that he strongly recommended a C-section. So we watched T.V. for about six hours and I was still only at a four. I had had a lot of really hard contractions but they just weren't doing anything. So we started prepping for surgery. My doctor was chewing at the bit and wanted to get me going. So thirty minutes later I was in surgery being sliced open. Luckily I had the same Nurse Anesthetist Paul I had with Caleb. He was great. He made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I know what your thinking, duh you were numbed from the chest down. But it was more the way he talked to me and knew exactly what I should feel and how long. He told me everything the doctor's were doing and why. Chris stood by my side and got to watch the whole thing. With Caleb I had been too scared to let his hand go so he didn't get to see anything. But since I knew Paul I was comfortable enough to let him go. He got to see all my fun organs. As they were pulling Joshua out the doctors commented that this was a wise decision cause he was a big boy with wide shoulders. After words Chris left with the little guy to the nursery and I had a very enjoyable conversation with my doctors while they sowed me up. Then I stayed in the hospital for three days to recover and enjoyed every minute. the food was good. The nurses were helpful and kind, and the girls in the nursery fell in love with Joshua. they said he was the sweetest baby in there. But I missed my boys so I was glad to go home on Saturday. Now I am having fun trying to figure out creative ways to clean my house with out bending and lifting. Needless to say I take lots of naps and the dust bunnies are having a field day, but me and Benny are having fun playing games and reading books and watching cartoons. I think that even though the recovery is a little longer, C-sections are the way to go. They get a bad rap but if you had the problems I had with my vaginal delivery with Benny and had babies with shoulders like mine you would think the recovery from a C-section was much easier.
