Ok, so a couple days ago Pat put these pictures on for me because I hate how you can only put 4 pictures on at a time and he being the computer guru he is did it way faster than I could. So I went on and typed all the commentary I wanted on my pictures(it took forever since I have not been on here in a while and had a LOT to say about Ava) and BAM! just like that the computer dies and so does all my commentary. So here I am again(it has taken me a few days to modivate myself to come back and do it all over again). So here we go, the begining of Ava, starting out so very small.......
7 months
This was taken only a couple of days before Avas first appearance. Word of the wise(or unwise I should say) never and I repaet NEVER go to the theater and sit through a 3 hour movie while you are this pregnant! :) :)
K, im not going to type as in detail as I did before because it sucks to type things twice, so I'll summerize :) I was on the phone with my sister when water started pouring out of me and I was like "um either my water just broke or I just peed my pants!" Pat just about had a heart attack and so did my little sis. So I called my doctor and they told me to come into the hospital to get checked(did I mention it was about 5-6pm and I was just about to eat) so I took a shower really quick, called some people and ate my food(I was still pregnant...) then off to the hospital we went not really knowing if it was really happening and we were just going to turn right around and come home. They put us in this rooma dn we waited for about 2 hours before anyone came back(apparently they had forgotten about us). Then the nurse tested the liquid and said it was notamniotic fluid(hmmm, k what is it then???) so we waited about an hour and she checked me and said my water hadn't broken. But just to be safe she had the ultrasound guy paged to come check my fluid. When the nurse came back she said that I had all my fluid(which I don't know if I buy) but my contractions were soooo painful by then that they admitted me. We walked around the halls and looked at the babies in the nursery and I was like "I know im supposed to be having a baby right now but there is no way one of those is coming out of me". My contractions got worst and I was starting to throw up after every one AND on top of that I was so soo tired I would doze off only to be woken up a few minutes later by a contraction. SO they gave me some drugs to the the nausea and pain, which lasted for about an hour before the wore off. FINALLY the next morning they let me have an epidural and I don't think I will ever forget the nurse that said I could have it. She was my favorite person in the whole world at that moment. I slept for an hour and woke up to crazy pressure contractions. Labor was so crazy. I think my epidural was wearing off a little because it was defiantly very very painful but I know it was probably not even close to those that do it natural so my respect for those women just grew 100% more than it already was!! I pushed for about 2 hours before she came. Here comes the good part :) Never in my life have I had such an amazing, wonderful, life changing experience as when they put Ava on my stomach, sometimes I totally miss that moment that I saw her for the very first time but I swear there are so many new wonderful moments that I keep having, like the first time they brought her into me and I recognized her little face. Man there is just something about having a baby that is so amazing and wonderful. As much as I hated being pregnant and going through labor(seriously, terrible :) ) I would do it all over again to have my little Ava. I absolutly love being a mom. :)
Pat has been an amazing daddy already. They love each other :)
Taking Ava home!!!!
