She's Here!!

The last time I wrote to y'all was the same day I went into labor. So funny I was just talking that day about if she was going to come anytime soon, and she heard me. The beginning of that day was just like any other day. I had back cramps and felt like poop. When I got home form work Erik and I went for a walk down the street and back. It took no more than 10 min to complete our walk. We got home and were lying on the couch talking the little girl asking her when she was going to come out. I got up and started fixing homemade chicken pizza when my water broke in the kitchen! I looked down and my water was coming down my leg! I couldn't believe it. I called out to Erik who was lying on the couch. I was like Erik my water broke he jumped up and was like no it didn't and I was like yea it did. He walked over to the kitchen and saw that I was not joking. We are in the kitchen laughing and then Erik makes me go run to the bathroom and get in the tub. So I'm running the the bathroom with my legs tight and laughing. I get to the tub and am just standing there laughing and told Erik to call Dr. Bullock. Erik was then like is this for real, and do we have to go to the hosp. I was like this is the real deal and once water breaks baby is coming. We had plenty of time so get our things ready and head out for the hosp. I felt bad because I was getting ready to mess up Erik's seat in the truck. LOL. So Erik asks me if we have time to stop and grab a bite. I was like yea so we go to Whataburger. Yes, we did stop. I wasn't having contractions yet so I was alright. We get to the hosp and I can hardly believe that the time has come. Nine months of waiting impatiently and now the day seemed to come up like a rocket. We get a room and thank goodness we pre registered because I really did not want to sit and do paper work. We get in the room and the contractions start. Real dull at first and then all of a sudden I was in severe pain! My water broke at 7:20pm and I didn't ask for an epidural till 5am or so when I was going to die. I had pain meds that made me slur so badly I had to quit talking it was funny but not. The nurse called the doc who was going to be administering my epidural, he was at home of course. So every time the nurse walked in the room I was praying that he was behind her. By then I was In so much pain all I could do was stare in front of me and long for him to come to my rescue. When he finally did I didn't show any emotion at all, all I could think about was how I wanted him to stop this pain. After he was done everything was gravy!! I felt so much better. I couldn't feel my legs but that was ok. Erik's sis Ashley came in and was like Wilson your leg is hanging off the bed. Lol, my leg could have been getting eaten by a pack of wolves and I wouldn't have know. She helped my leg back into the bed. Around 10:30 or so I was able to start pushing. That was the most taxing thing ever! I was so tired by the end of it. Around 12:50ish the Doc was like she is coming. All I could do was push until I couldn't push anymore and then push som more and there she was. They put her one chest and all I could do was stare and smile at this beautiful baby Erik and I made. They took her to get weighed and clean up. Erik was a ball of light, he was so happy. She was finally here and she was perfect. I couldn't believe how beautiful she was and how tiny. Her little feet and cute toes, little hands and fingers, we made her and she couldn't have been anymore perfect. They got her all cleaned up and gave her back to me. I sat there looking at his tiny little girl and was so joyful. Erik couldn't take the smile off of his face and neither could I. Our perfect baby girl was finally here and we could have been any happier than we were that moment. They let our family in to see her and it was shear pandemonium, but the good kind. Everyone was happy and tearful and just so happy to finally see her. Erik and I were parents to this little one now and we were going to be be the best parents we can be to her. Now our little one is 7 weeks old now and she is such a delight. She has brought us such joy words can not describe. We are so lucky to have her in our life.
