On March 5, 2013 at midnight I started to feel
contractions. I had felt lots of
contractions in the month leading up to that night so I thought they would lead
to nothing, but for fun we started timing them. They started at about 10 minutes apart and started getting
closer and closer over the first hour.
To keep me distracted I turned on Frasier. I love Frasier and the funny remarks from Niles helped to
keep my mind occupied. Over the
next 2 hours I started to notice my contractions getting closer and closer,
stronger and stronger. When they
went under 5 minutes apart I decided to take a shower, get ready and wake up
Josh. At 3:20 ish we hoped in the
car and headed to the hospital.
The next 15 hours were somewhat of a slow blur. It seems crazy how anxious we
were and how long it took us to get to 10 cm. When I finally got to 10 cm I started to get really
nervous. Any minute we were going
to have our beautiful little girl and our lives would change. 35 or so minutes of pushing and then
our Evelyn was here. Luckily
there was another delivery going on so our nurses had to run off leaving us
with her for over an hour. That
hour was precious and amazing as it finally sunk in that our family of 2 was
now a family of 3. At the end of
our hour they took Evie to the nursery and me to recovery.
