Without a doubt, the best day of my life was November 10, 2009. Zachary James was born at 5:45 am via C-section. He was 7 lbs 12 oz and 22 inches long.
I woke up the morning of 11/09/09 not feeling well, so Jay said to stay home if I wanted to since I just felt "off" I took a nap that morning, woke up around 1:00 and went I went to stand up I felt this huge waterfall go down my legs. I thought oh crap, I either just wet myself or my water broke! I called my OB & he said he thought it was just urine, so to come in & he would do the test to make sure. Well it kept going, so when I called him back he said to meet him at the hospital. Jay was about an hour away seeing a patient at another hospital so he called his Dad to come get me & he met me there. I was immediately put in a room, but since I wasn't having any contractions they started Pitocin. I got to 10 cm dialated very quickly and started to push. They thought Zachary would be here by maybe 2am. I got the epidural & felt NO pain ( it was wonderful!), then after 4 hours of pushing my doc came in & said he thought I would need a C-section. My pelvic bone is oddly shaped & poor little guy was banging his head on my bone and not coming down any further. I was crying since I didn't want surgery but anything to get my baby here. The surgery wasn't so bad, I actually dozed off during it a few times. Because of where Zachary was & where my incision is I bought myself a C-section for any further kiddos we have, though I am pretty sure we are done. We have our incredible little girl, and our perfect little boy. Life couldn't be any better. I have an amazing family, wonderful friends & a relationship with Christ...How could it be any better!?
