Pregnancy After 4 Years

2 months after I miscarried we were moved into a hotel by our apartments due to a black mold problem. Thank goodness for that, it was disgusting. Thank goodness it was in our bedroom and not the kids. It was while we were at the hotel that we found out I was pregnant yet again. My husband had this funny feeling that i might be so he took it upon himself to buy 3 pregnancy test (he wanted to make sure). I took the test on 3 different days at different times just to see what they results would be. The first test was very faint, the second a lil darker, and the third bright pink. I tried going back to my dr but found that my insurance had changed and had to find a new dr.
The dr that i found was a older gentlemen and was, and still is, awesome. I normally dont like male drs but i felt comfortable with him. He did all the initial test that are to be done, blood work, glucose test, ect. Every time i went in i asked it the baby was ok. The last miscarriage really sent me for a loop. When i hit 11 weeks i was paranoid. I didnt want to do anything because i was so scared of loosing the baby. And yes there was a heartbeat and an ultrasound done and there was a baby!
At 14 weeks were found out that we were having a boy!! I was so excited to see his heart beating. To see his little face. I couldnt believe i was having another son. My husband and other son were in the room with me when we found out. All my son kept saying was, "mommie look thats my baby on the tv!" He was so excited, which made me almost cry.
I only had morning sickness for 3 months and sailed threw the rest of the pregnancy. It was around 7 1/2 months that i became very dehydrated and went into pre-term labor. The drs were able to stop it and i upped my half a gallon of water intake to a gallon. After that i was good, threw the month of september and october i had contractions everyday. On the evening of october 24th round 8:30pm i felt like i needed to use the bathroom. I asked my husband to help me up off the couch so i could waddle down the hallway. I had just stepped into the bathroom when my water broke..right there, all over the floor! That was a new experience because the drs had to break my water with my son and daughter.
No one told me that once your water breaks...it doesnt stop. I thought it would, but it was like a gush every so often. So not lady like lol. Once i was upstairs they had already called the anastesiologyst. It took him 3 stabs at my back to get the epidural in correctly. Of the whole labor process getting that done was the most painful part, literally.  By 9:33am on october 25 my son was born.
