Beckam’s Birth Story
Beckam Jerry Steiner entered the world on September 4, 2015
at 7:08 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds 15 ½ ounces and was 19 inches long. He is
perfect in every way! We fell in love the first moment we met!
His entry to this world w, as a much more peaceful
experience than his older brother, Ashton’s! Because of a lack of progress, we scheduled
another c section for September 4th. Tyler and Cassie offered to
take Ashton overnight on the 3rd so we wouldn’t have to worry about
him the morning of the c section. We dropped him off and he was happy as can
be. It was a little emotional for me to leave him overnight but he did amazing!
I almost felt sad that his and my time was coming to an end. It would never be
just him and I again and part of me felt sad. But we were just so excited to
get little Beckam here safe! That night I packed my hospital bags and had a
sleepless night! All the worries started flooding my mind but I felt at peace. We
arrived at Jordan Valley Hospital at 4:30 a.m. I had done my hair and makeup
for the occasion. That is the only nice part about having a c section! They got
me in my room and started paperwork and preparing me for surgery. I was very
nervous about the procedure because of my experience with Ashton. However,
Derek and my mom were there to reassure me that everything would go smoothly
and we would soon have a beautiful baby boy!
Finally just after 6:30 a.m. they told me it was time to
walk back to the operating room. That was a crazy experience- walking yourself
to your surgery. So many emotions flood your body- nervousness, worry,
excitement, etc. I sat up on the operating table and they put in my epidural.
That was one of the worst parts of the c section. Because it is so strong the
doctor told me to lie down quickly or I wouldn’t be able to move. By the time I
laid down I couldn’t move my legs. It was such a strange feeling. Derek and my
mom got in their scrubs and I got all prepped for surgery and they got started.
With Ashton I went into shock and remember very little of his birth but with
Beckam I was terrified but still felt so much peace. Finally after what felt
like an hour I heard my baby boy cry! It was the most beautiful sound and I
began to cry too! I knew that he was alive and here safe!
The worst part of having a c section is that you can’t see
the baby right after they are born. There are too many risks involved and they
have to check the baby’s lungs. Derek and my mom took pictures for me and
showed me as they stitched me up. Finally Derek brought him to me and it was
love at first sight! He had a beautiful head of hair and a chunky little face.
He was truly perfect in every way. The c section went so well and I felt calm
through the entire surgery. They moved me onto my hospital bed and placed
little beckam at my side. They rolled us into our room and he got to meet my
family who also fell in love!
Our stay at the hospital was amazing and baby Beckam was an
angel baby. He nursed like a champ and slept all the time. He was the most
cuddly baby ever! Ashton came a few hours after Beckam was born and was so cute
with him. He loves his little brother so much. He was a little worried about
mommy and the change was hard but he has been amazing! We love our boys so
much!
