Stepmonsters running wild during my home birth

Hello all! Happy to have found this site. This is so great a place where us stepparents can be ourselves and let loose. A few weeks ago I delivered a healthy beautiful baby boy. By far the worst and best day of my entire life. It would have went munch smoother had the little monsters not been there. The litttle monsters are my 5 and 7 year old stepsons.

You see their mother a.k.a Ms.Dipthong told us for months that she would gladly come and scoop up the kids the day I went into labor. Well that day came. I was watching " Here comes honey boo boo" While eating a chicken wrap. that is when my son decided it was time to make his grand entrance. My husband called up our Mid-wife and the monster's mother. Ms.Dipthong informed him that she was to tired. She had had a long day of sitting around doing nothing but scrolling through facebook, scratching her butt and collecting checks she doesn't need. But I digress.

My husband practically begged her until she hung up. She would not answer his repeated calls back. We didn't have any in our circle of friends and family whom were close by available at the time so we had to deal with it. While I was loosing my mind with pain. Because birthing a human being and isn't easy. The little monsters were banging on the door.

" Can I have the rest your chicken wrap?, can we change the channel?, He hit me?, I'm thirsty? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad" . Mind you my husband had put out snacks and juice for them and put on cartoons before all of this. My husband had to explain to them what was going on in a way they could understand and how important it was to sit quit. He kept checking on them and me. Well He forgot to lock the door and I look down at a tiny face staring at me. " ewwww why you taking a bath in the babies room"? My husband had to scoop him up.

Finally we got a hold of my good girlfriend who was just leaving work. She agreed to come take the little monsters to her house. Just in time. An hour later it was pushing time. We got my mom on webcam cheering me on. My dad in the background head turned " tell me when it gets here".My husband sat behind me in the tub rubbing my back. We were all blubbering fools when he arrived. It was the best thing I have ever done. He's so precious. I wonder how long I have until he turned into a little monster.

Still pissed at dipthong but more at myself for not having a back up plan. Why did i even trust her. But what does that matter now. Nothing else matters but this little diaper butt laying in his da da's arms.

Congratulations on your baby boy!!! Smile

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy!

Lesson well learned - NEVER rely on BM and always have a backup plan!

(my backup plan is to win the lottery and escape to some warm exotic island..... - perhaps I need to rethink that)

Congrats on the baby! - - - Never trust the BM if she has a history of being a witch. Then you can't get upset when you don't expect anything from the idiot.

Congrats! At least your friend was able to pick the skids up in time so they weren't there the whole time!
