A year ago tomorrow.....

Hi again! The disappearing blog owner has stopped on by, since tomorrow is her son's birthday! Yes, on June 3, 2010 I gave birth to a little boy.... over 3 weeks early! To make a long story VERY short, I was basically walking around all day in labor. I was having contractions but they weren't bad and even the doctor said it could just be my uterus 'practicing.' Well, let's just say that around 9:00pm the contractions started getting painful enough that I thought maybe we had better go to the hospital. I decided to clean up to go, but before I could... the pain suddenly became so unbearable that I could not walk. Around 9:45pm we called 911 since I could not get down the stairs....

Our son was born at 10:21pm :) Yep, I experienced 100% natural childbirth (OOOWWW!!) And we did make it to the hospital... barely. They moved me from the stretcher to the hospital bed, started to put monitors and such on me, (as I pleaded for pain relief...) and they said "Oh, the head's right there - there's no time for an epidural - go - push!" I was like "Right now?" "YES! Now!" Pushed twice, and ta da!! I was actually on my side, with most of my clothes still on.

I had better just post this before I save it, walk away and don't come back until 2012 ;)
