I was heading to the hospital to have my son. The morning started off like any other towards the end of my pregnancy. I was sitting at the computer with a cup of coffee while my husband got ready to go out for a day of golf. As I sat quietly and read I got the biggest contraction out of no where. Ouch that hurt I though hmm better tell hubby to wait a few minutes to see if another comes. Well Sure enough 8 minutes later another, then from that point on they jumped to every 5 minutes and stayed there.He called and canceled his spot for golf while I sat in the shower sobbing in pain. Ha this labor took off fast and furious unlike my daughter who made me wait from 10:30 the night before her birth until 4:30 P.M. the next afternoon until she arrived.

I got dressed and my husband and daughter and I took off for the hospital. As we were driving a song I was in love with at the time was on the radio so I was concentrating on it to get me through my contractions which were being announced the whole way by my husband hahah. We got to the hospital and checked in and once in my room I was offered the magic epidural. Ahh I never got to have one with my daughter only a botched spinal that worked for about 10 minutes and left me needing a blood patch because my cerebral fluid had drained from my brain. Ahh so you bet I took the Dr. up on that. I was one of only a few ladies there so I had it in no time! What a pleasure having an epi! I was reading the paper and watching the news just waiting for the boy to come while my husband, mom and daughter went to eat.

When it was time to push though ouch the epi stopped working for a while on one side and I had a hard time getting him out. I couldn't figure out why with all my pushing he hadnt arrived yet. Well my child decided to arrive sunny side up, a very difficult birth to have. After all was said and done at 12:30 PM 6ish hours total of labor my son was born. I didnt see him right away because of his difficult entry into the wold he had to be checked by a neonatologists as he passed meconium from the stress. He was so quiet unlike my daughter who arrived screaming and never stopped!So Buddy Happy birthday! Here are some pics from your big day and the song that reminds me of your birthday.
