I mean I do have a baby now, they tend to take up a tad of your time.
Anyway, his trip to join us here was mostly calm, but a hurricane did disturb the waters there for a little while.
My sons due date was March 20th, but Kimmy (my wife) ended up having her blood pressure rise up to borderline high and since she was so late in the game the doctors figured they should just take him out. Why play with fire, right?
So the induction was scheduled for March 18th (why couldn't it of been March 17th?...oh well, can't win em all!) which was only two days before the original due date.
My wife and I had to arrive at Bellevue Women's Hospital at the buttcrack of dawn almost, 5:45am, to fill out a little bit of paperwork and we were into our room at 6:00.
Then came all the hooking up that had to be done to my wife. The IV to pump fluids into her and a little later the Pitocin. Kimmy was not a fan of said Pitocin.
Everything was going quite smoothly.
Until the weird, annoying, english isn't my first name South American anesthesiologist became part of the picture. Kimmy wanted to be numb for the oncoming explosion of pain she was just starting to feel through the intensifying contractions she was starting to feel.
I can't remember the doctor's name because, I'll be honest, I couldn't understand 90% of the words coming out of his mouth. He wasn't very good at what he does, I know that much.
His job was to come in and get Kimmy hooked up to the epideral and ease the pain.
Guess what he didn't do? Yeah, not good at his job.
From the moment he started I knew there was something wrong with however he was trying to fix her up.
He kept making faces and mumbling and when he did say something I could understand he commented on how she wasn't sitting up straight (when she was) and kept making it sound like she had scoliosis or something. If they would have taken my blood pressure at this point they probably would have told me to calm down before I had a stroke.
So, only fourty-five minutes later and this idiot gives up.
He says he is going to go get a Dr. Kim.
So in comes Dr. Kim.
