I went into labor around 6pm on Sunday, January 24, 2010. Hubbs and I were hanging out at his brother's house. My SIL and I were talking about how much of a pain this child that I was carrying is, since she decided to turn at the last minute (she was breech) to avoid a previously scheduled C-Section that past Friday. All of a sudden, the contractions start! They weren't that bad at first. They really felt like my Braxton Hicks that I had been having since I was in my 23rd week of pregnancy. Finally, Hubbs decided to start timing them. Lo and behold they were about 1 minute apart! I didn't want to go into the hospital again and leave without a baby, so we decided to go home and let me rest.
We get home, and at this point I'm balling my eyes out. They hurt so bad! So, I tell hubbs to pack everything up and to rush to the hospital. They put me in triage, and start monitoring me and the baby. The nurse came back and said that there was no way I was going to be leaving here pregnant, so they checked us in. They broke my water around 6am, and I progressed pretty quickly after that. They gave me my epidural when I was 3cm dilated (about the time they broke my water). Finally, it was time to
Emily, my lovely amazing daughter, you are everything to me. When you smile, I smile. When you laugh (oh how I love your laugh), I laugh. When you cry, I cry. I'm the one who bathes you, feeds you, comforts you, and protects you. You are everything I've ever wanted, and I thank God everyday for you. It is because of you that I fought so hard when I was diagnosed with PPD/Anxiety. It is on this day that I remember who I do everything for. Happy Birthday baby girl!
Today is not just a normal day.
