We only lived about 2 blocks from the hospital, so the drive was fast. When I checked in I was not dilated at all. The nurse said that I was going to be there for quite a long time and hoped that I was ready. I really wanted to deliver you natural and I tried for about 9hours. ( I had even convinced your dad to take a lamas class with me) After nine hours I had felt enough pain from the contractions and decided to get an epidural, the doctor told me that I was going to be in it for the long haul. After getting the epidural your father and I were finally able to rest, your dad sleeping on the pull out sofa, and me passed out on the hospital bed, this was at about 9:00am at 10:30am I asked the doctor to check me, and she was shocked to say that I was complete. I was at a 10 and ready to deliver. I had to wake your father and tell him I was going to have this baby. They called the doctor and told him that he better hurry. The nurse had told me to stop pushing because the doc wasn't there yet. The first thing we saw was the hair, you had so much hair! I pushed for all of 28 minutes and you were here. It was amazing. You were only breathing at 80 percent so they put you on my chest and I kissed you and they rushed you to the nursery. The feelings were so overwhelming, your a miracle to us, and we feel so lucky to be your parents. I couldn't believe that I was a mother and you were my responsibility and most of all that our Heavenly Father had trusted me enough to send you here, for me to teach and to learn from. I do everyday, your such a sweet baby. I hope that I don't disappoint him or you.
He was born Mar 19th at 11:46 am after 30 minutes of pushing by his mom!
