Prepare… are we really everGod knew what he had/has in store for me; isn’t it amazing!!! My pregnancy was remarkably pretty easy. Women complain about being pregnant and for me it was a breeze; my only 2 setbacks.. the weight gain, and OH the heartburn! I never was sick, I didn’t waddle at the end, I wasn’t constantly up going to the bathroom, I didn’t swell up, and I never was really that uncomfortable. If someone wants to know the struggles of a pregnancy I am the wrong person to ask. My delivery, once again fairly easy but I will say; thank you to modern medicine and the joy of an epidural.
Labor
My due day was set for November 10th, 2009 however, as the day drew close I knew my sweetie wasn’t coming. I spoke to the Dr and set my induce day for November 17th . I thought it would be great to have myself, Anthony and Payton all be born on a Tuesday so our birthdays would fall on the same day of the week, Pea and I would both have 7’s in our birthday. I made my last day of work Friday the 13th (there we go again with that Friday the 13th – remember I found out I was prego on a Friday the 13th). That weekend I thought for sure my baby was going to come.. wrong. Monday morning came and Anthony left for work, shortly after I started to feel contractions. I thought they were just pains but not the real thing so I got up showered and laid back down. Around 10ish I called him and told him I was going to call the Dr. who eventually called back around 10:45ish. I woke up mom and aunt les and told them finally its time, the day we had been waiting for has arrived!! We drove to the hospital (oh those stupid contractions) where I was given the pleasure of experiencing those contractions until around 12:45pm when they finally admitted me. – Contractions- oh yea, how did they feel??? They felt like you had severe stomach cramps, had to go to the bathroom after not going for about a week and they just came and went at first far apart, then real close together-.. The nurse had to break my water and FINALLY at 2:30 I was given my epidural.. I was a whole different woman in labor… no more crying for this girl!! Anthony arrived from work (lucky for him I was already doped up) and we waited until around 7pm when I started my delivery. It went smooth and although Ant nearly passed out and I “supposedly” turned a light shade of blue, Payton came in record time for a first time baby – 25 minutes!!! Our precious angel was born at 7:28pm and I cried out… (literally in tears.. I MADE A BABY).. LOL hey, when you are on those meds Lord knows what you will say! It was all so real and honestly the most amazing day in my life.
