My eldest son was born. I felt like I'd been pregnant with him forever. When I finally got sent to the hospital to have him it was because I was pre-eclamsic and had to be induced. They started the induction and we went ALL day with no success. Finally they turned off the pitocin and let me get some sleep. They sarted early again the next day and brave (read "dumb") ol' me decided I could do it all without an epidural. After an entire day of labor (most of which I hardly remember because I was so tired) and over 3 hours of pushing, we finally delivered our baby boy, all 9 lbs, 8 oz of him. I remember being so relieved that it was over, and so excited that our little one was finally here.
And now he's 7. I tried to tell him that it was only yesterday that he was born but he didn't believe me. He's such a big boy, my pride and joy.
How did he get so big??
Happy Birthday Jaxson!!

That was so fun!! Do you remember going to Dairy Queen? For some reason I remember our poor husbands taking their prego wives to Dairy Queen for icecream a lot... :>P I think after our childbirth classes! (can't believe they didn't kick us out of that class, we so did not take it seriously!) Ah, what fun times.... miss you guys!
yeah, we were born with the instincts to take care of our kids, those classes were purely for social reasons!!=0)Ha and for the ice cream afterwards for all our hard work getting back up off the floormats they made us sit on. =0)
