A baby story

A birth story. 
On Tuesday September, 23rd at 1:40 pm i went to a Doctor checkup. Our last one!!! I was dilated to a 2, we went ahead and scheduled a induction that Friday. We went home super excited. Double checked our bags and relaxed until the big day! 
   
On Friday September, 26 at 7:00am i got admitted to the hospital. That morning we picked up grandma (my mom) & headed for the hospital. We visited with the doctor & he broke my water a few hours later i was dilated to a 5 contractions were in full effect. Shortly after we got an epidural.. we had family come & go! We all joked laugh & slept a little. 
  Around midnight we were fully dilated, i was ready to meet you! I pushed & pushed, your daddy keep telling me how good i was doing. But you were not coming, we took a break. Doctor came in and checked me out, & he said that you were not lowering down & you were a bit breeched. This made me very disappointed on my self. At this time i was in tears and in so much pain. I didn't want a c-section, i wasn't scared just disappointed in my self for not being able to have you normally. Doctor had decided that a c-section was the best decision, after almost 19 hours of active labor. We got everything ready, i was so excited to finally get to hold you.
  Saturday, September 27 3:40am  Before we knew it, the doctor told your daddy stand up he is coming. The look on his face was priceless, you were here and the doctor joked and said my goodness he is full grown let him walk to the nursery. Your daddy looked at me & said he is so big & beautiful.
   They weighed and measured you, 10lbs 1oz & 21 inches of pure heaven! I got to see your beautiful little face, it was the happiest most proudest moment of our lives! Baby boy we love you so much. I got to see you up close gave you a big kiss & they took you away to check.            
     Everything was great after two hours I got to hold you finally!! It was unbelievable to finally have you in my arms. A few days later we got to take you home. Our first car ride as a family of 3 was full of emotions, I couldn't believe we had a baby, our own baby boy! Today you are one and it's unbelievable to me.
