Day 8 - A moment

Well today i need to talk about moments? I thought long about this one.

But my favorite moment would have to be when i gave birth to Connor. The best day of my life.

As you all know i was 16 when i had Connor. My whole pregnancy i just kept it to myself no one knew. I thought the my family would disown me cause i was so young. I was a dumb teenager that was scared. So finally when i was 7 month pregnant i told my mom, we were scared for me and the baby we had no clue what would happen!. Going to that first ultrasound i was excited and nervous, i didnt know if my baby would be okay. They told us that he was fine and there was nothin to worry about. I was due December 13, 2007. I was going to for a doctor on the 17 to schedule when i needed to have a induction. They thought that i would need a c-section cause my pelvic was really small and didn't think that baby would make it thought, my doctor said that we would try to have a natural birth but if it came down to it would we have to do a emergency c-section. I did NOT want that. But December 16 i started to have contractions, not bad but i knew that's what they were. I remember walking in wal-mart and having to stop every 5 min cause they were getting really bad. I wanted to stay home as long as i could, i took a bath and that helped a little. That night i slept in my little sister room so i didn't have to walk up and down the stairs. My mom stayed in the room with me and when i would start to have my contraction she would rub my back.. (ahh it helped so much). I held it out till 3:00 AM. I needed to go to the hospital. My mom and sister Torie came with me. I was already dilated to a 3, they got me all monitored up and that when my contraction started bad! I held out as much as i could, when they got worst my sister told me to hold on to something as tight as i was in pain and breath through my nose and boy did that help. About 9 is when i finally got my epidural. I was so happy once i got that. I was able to sleep cause i needed all the energy i could get. I remember i couldn't move my left leg at all and it was freaking me out! While i was sleeping they came in and said they needed to break my water cause i was only dilated to a 7. It was about 2 or so when Connor Heart rate went really down so they put me on oxygen. I was not just dilated to a 8. It was at 4 when i was fulling dilated to a 10 and ready to push! My doctor told me to push for awhile and we would find out if we need a c-section. After 45 minute of pushing my beautiful 7lb 12 oz and 21 in, baby boy was born! Holding him for the first time was the best feeling anyone could feel! Right after i had him everyone left and it was just Connor and me by far the best day of my life!
