Amelia is here!

A little over three weeks ago (December 5th to be exact) I was having pretty major contractions in the morning when I woke up. That whole night I was having contractions and I just thought that they were going to go away, but they didnt. Finally when I admitted to myself that they contractions were pretty strong and not going away I decided that we should probably go to the hospital because Amelia was coming. I was really scared to go to the hospital. I was shaking and sweating and very nervous. When we got to the hospital they admitted me and then told me that they were going to have me walk around the hall to see is my contractions picked up even more and if they didnt they were going to send me back home for a while. I really did not want to go back home, so as I walked I just prayed that the contractions would pick up so I could have my baby. When I went back into the room the nurse said that she had talked to my doctor and that she was going to come in and break my water to get the contractions going more. That meant I was not being sent home and that I really was going to have my baby that day. After she broke my water, she had me walk around more to get the contractions going more and then they gave me some medicine to start the contractions going even stronger. Once I got that medicine the contractions did pick up and began to be very intense. They were very painful. I was shocked at how bad they hurt, they even brought tears to my eyes. After a while of major contractions they said it was ok for me to get an epidural. I expected that once I got the epidural that I would not feel the pain anymore really at all, but it took about an hour for the epidural to actually work really good. I kept on pushing the button to give myself more medicine. Finally I began to be very numb and was able to sleep a little. When the nurse came in to check how far I was dialated she said that I was 100% ready and that I would be pushing soon. I was shocked that the time had come to start pushing. It was very exciting and scary. Before I started to push Tyson gave me a blessing that every thing would go smoothly and that we would soon have our healthy baby. I pushed for about twenty minutes and then the doctor put my baby Amelia on my stomach. It was such an amazing experience. Once I saw her the tears came. She was beautiful and perfect. This was one of the best days of my life. It was so surreal and awesome to meet my little baby.
