Two years ago today Avah was getting ready to come into the world. It was a Sunday and i was at work i thought i had to go to the bathroom but after i went I COULDNT STOP PEEING or so i thought (it was a slow "leak") ! i quietly left work without telling anyone that i was leaving and went home. when i got home i told Wes i thought my water broke but i wasn't sure so i called the Hospital (i did not want to be "one of those girls" who goes to the hospital only to come home.... nothing wrong with those girls) they told me that i could come in but where i wasn't having contractions that it was probably nothing but we could go up there, this was at 6pm. I was up cleaning and couldn't go to sleep Wes was playing video games at 1 am i decided that maybe we should go to the hospital just in case (i still was not having any contractions). we got up there and we had to go through the ER because it was the only door open, finally we get to the Women's wing (this was before the had the Women's Center) and they test to see if my water really did break they couldn't really tell if it had or not so they say to rest and they will come put the monitors on. i COULD NOT SLEEP my family came and visited for a little while i started having contractions FINALLY i was able to get my "drugs"!!! the Epidural worked every where BUT where it was suppose to so the had to get me stronger drugs after that i dint really remember much. i remember Dr. Norda barely making it for the delivery (Avah was born on Memorial Day so everyone was with family having fun) he delivered her wearing shorts and filp flops! Avah was Born at 4:29 in the Afternoon on May 29, 2006 weighing in at 8LBS 9OZ the cord was around her neck and i remember that her face was blue and her body white. the nurse that was in there grabbed Avah and started rubbing her and giving her oxygen. after a few minutes i was able to hold her and everything was fine.
