The best birthday ever!
On Sunday May 4th (my 24th birthday) I woke up with a feeling of dread thinking of how I was going to have to go through another day feeling as big as a whale and looking as big as a cow. Most pregnant women look as tho they have a soccer ball under their shirt. But me not liking to do anything halfway took on the look of having a beach ball under my shirt (a really big one!)
Needless to say I was very ready to be done with the whole preggers thing. Even the beautiful necklace that Davin gave me for my birthday did little to lift my mood, I mean it was just a necklace and the weight I was it would take a crane to lift any part of me. When I would attempt to get out of bed the the morning (or any of the five times a night to go pee) I resembled a fish out of water flailing and flopping around only to give up and ask Davin to give me a push out of fear that if I put any more effort into it I would not have to pee any more! Anyways back to that morning. I did make it out of bed and to church where I started to have contractions but nothing major or regular and after drinking some water they went away. We continued on our day by going to a friends house and having some Chinese food and after leaving there my contractions started up again this time more regular and about 8 minutes apart. We headed home where I drank more water and laid down thinking that the contractions would go away but they only got stronger and closer together. I really did not think that this was the real thing I did not want to get to excited only to have it be a false alarm. Meanwhile Davin was running around doing dishes, timing contractions, helping me breath through the pain. Which was getting worse, now they where 5 minuets apart and getting stronger so we put all call into the hospital. They said it sounded like the real thing and to come down. We got to the hospital at 7 pm. Now the contractions were 3 mins apart. Our family got there soon after. Everything just progressed from there and I started pushing around 11:15 pm and Avery James came out at 12:05 am (just missing my birthday) 8lbs 14oz 21and3/4 long with LOTS of family there...My mom, Davin's mom, my 3 sisters, my nephew and his "handler" Jean. My dad and Davin's brother waited in the hall. So that's how I spent my birthday and even tho he missed my birthday he is still the best gift I ever got!
