I knew my life was going to change

Here is a little history on my journey to becoming a mom :)

I will Never forget the day Colin and I decided it was time... time to add to our family! It is one of those things you ask yourself is it the "right" time? (is there ever a right time?) It is a huge decision, One of those decisions you just have to leap and wait for the net to catch you. So we sat there looking back at what our check list was... and the more we talked the more things felt like it was time. We were about 3 months away from our wedding in Mexico.... If the time was right it would happen.

Oct 31, 2008
I guess the time was right!!! 
We were not even 2 weeks to our wedding when.... Clear Blue told me my future!!! I was PREGNANT!!!
As happy as I was the thoughts wouldn't stop running through my mind. Am I ready... Can I do this... Did i make a mistake... etc....  I sat there in shock! I never expected it to happen so soon.... and the WEDDING!!!
So Colin got home from work and I said to him "honey I need to talk to you" apparently he new what I was going to say.... He looked at me and said... Your pregnant!!!
So much for waiting till after the wedding.

So the Wedding was here we were flying to Mexico with 32 or our friends and family... NONE of them knowing I was pregnant!! (okay maybe 1 or 2 had an idea) How was I going to hide this?? I was tired... I was sick. But I did it!!! the first week with everybody was amazing I could have asked for a better day!
It only took us 10 years to get to this day.... Well worth the wait <3


So the first week was over and everybody was gone... We spent the next week on our honeymoon. Well if you wanna call it a honeymoon. I kept getting sicker and sicker and sicker.... NOT fun! I think we should get a do over on the honeymoon part :) After our week alone I was more then ready to go home....

So we got home and off to the doctor I went.... When the doctor walked in I knew what he was going to say "your pregnant" so we did some math, well he pulled out his little wheel of weeks... and the verdict was in  I was already 8 1/2 weeks!!!

And then the real FUN began....

I made my first appointment with my mat doctor and the journey begins....

Jan 27, 2009 - 16 weeks approx.

I did not enjoy the belly part of being pregnant.. NOT going to lie!!! and it only got BIGGER!!!
July 6,2009- 40 weeks + 2day
Who knew I would go another 2 weeks!!! Dues date July 4th... Born July 19th :)

The day FINALLY arrived when the doctor said 'we are going to induce you'... I was not happy at first but I gave in... and we where off!!!

It was July 17th and Colin and I were going to bed... I started to cry thinking this could be our last night just the 2 of us. ( I was being induced in the morning) As happy as I was to get this baby out. I knew our lives were going to change it wasn't about us any more...
Saturday morning 10am off we go.... we had to stay for a couple hours but nothing happened so they said we could go. The doctor told me he would call me at 10 that night... if he didn't see me before that.
So now we wait.... and wait.... and wait!!! at about 4:30ish I started to feel some contractions.... let the labor begin! they were not very strong but they were about 5mins apart and lasting 30 sec or so.... so at 10 o'clock on the dot the phone rang and it was the doctor... he told me to try and get some sleep and to come in to the hospital first thing. GOOD LUCK on the sleep part!!! thanks doc :)


1:30am July 18th... I was up and in PAIN!! got up and had to pee surprise surprise...lol. That's when the craziness began. Well I guess I am in that 30% of women that's water breaks on its own.... I have heard women say how do you know when your water breaks... TRUST me you KNOW!!! So i woke Colin up and we were off to the hospital.... after a long labor and an hour or so of pushing I got the news that I did not wanna hear from my doctor. We have to do a C-section!!! I have never had surgery or seen on OR other then on T.V and I was scared!!! Colin got suited up and we were off in a hurry for an emergency C-section.... not long after we were in I remember hearing those 3 words.... It's a Girl!!! 7Lbs 6oz born 11:52pm. I was so thrilled I looked at Colin and fell in Love with him even more. After 4 hrs in recovery it was time to introduce Skylar Leigh Davison to her family.

Now we are a family of 3 :)
