It took us a while to get pregnant once we decided it was time to try. Over a year actually. The day I found out for sure that you were on your way was one of the best days of my life. I had been sick for about 4-6 weeks with that I thought was a cold that just wouldn't go away. I was working at Georgetown Haircare at the time as a Barber/Stylist. I got up that morning and felt very sick to my stomach and really pretty dizzy. I ate some toast thinking that that would help and thinking that I was getting the flu on top of everything else. We lived about 35 minutes from where I worked at the time. I left for work, drove all the way there, and couldn't get out of the car I was so dizzy... I called my boss from the car to let him know that I couldn't come in and it dawned on me sitting there that I MIGHT just be pregnant. I left there and went straight to the store to buy a pregnancy test. Came home and waited while the test came up.. less than two seconds later it was a plus sign very strong. I was pregnant!!! at the time I was very close to your sisters mom so for some reason (still not sure why she was first) I called her and told her I was pregnant! Then I called your father, who at the time was at work, and said "Hey daddy, how's your day?" He said,"Oh it's pretty good.. you know how it is.. nothing special" I said again,"Hey daddy".. he laughed and said,"yes? did you need something?" I said one more time, very patiently I might add.. lol.. "HEY DADDY!" He said,"See I TOLD you you were pregnant!!!" he had been telling me for about a week and I kept telling him there was NO way I was... sure enough your daddy was right! Shhh... don't tell him I said that! lol ;) My pregnancy with you was pretty normal I think. I threw up for four months straight.. seemed to come on the day after I found out I was pregnant, like you knew I knew so it was ok to show yourself now! lol I actually threw up on myself in the car on the way home from grandma and grandpa's one night. that wasn't so much fun! lol ;)
Your birth was a 10 hour process. I was induced on that Tuesday morning.. they broke my water at 9 that morning and you were born at 7:27pm that night. I was good all day with the pain. Watched tv, slept, hung out with daddy and your grandma all day. The anestegiologist came in and asked if I thought I was ready for the epidural because if not he was going to go down the hall and give one to another lady and wouldn't be back for about 45 minutes or so. I was doing so well at the time I told him I was fine and to move on! :) Literally about five or ten minutes later the contractions got so strong that I was BEGGING your daddy to go get that man and bring him back here right away. I had to wait. It wasn't easy, but I got through it.. squeezing your daddy's hand the whole time. That wonderful man came back, gave me my epidural, and things were great! :D I couldn't feel a thing.. the wonderful nurse that was taking care of me that day came in to check to see how things were progressing... the look on her face told me that things were going very nicely.. in fact my doctor had just left to go eat lunch/dinner and they had to race to call him back because you were ready to come out.. in a hurry! Dr. Gillespie barely made it into the room and you were making your grand entrance! ;) You came out at 7:27pm that night and were perfect. 10 little fingers, ten little toes and a set of lungs on you that could scare anyone! ;) You weighed 7lbs., 1 oz. and was 21 inches long. And perfect from head to toe!
Happy birthday sweet girl. Mommy and daddy love you with all hearts and souls!!
