Labor of Love (My Labor Story)♥

I cant believe it has been almost 3 weeks since i gave birth to this BEAUTIFUL little girl. Zoie Isabella has SERIOUSLY changed my life for the better. I never thought i was seriously ready to be a mother but she changed that though and she changed it fast. I will never forget that Night/Early Morning when she came into our (Jeremy and I's) life It was April 25th I had just gotten home from grocery shopping and i was having strong contractions but my water hadnt broke so i didnt think anything of it and they were 10-15min apart so i got home at 9:30pm and just kind of waited around around 10pm they were 10min apart I called the doctor and he told me to come in to the hospital and he would check me out and see if i was dilated anymore. We pull up to the Hospital and park the car (we brought the bag just in case lol) as soon as i get out of the car and shut the door my water breaks, I think in my head well then I guess she was giving me fair warning to get to the hospital (lol) well Jer comes around the car and sees the puddle at my feet and IMMEDIATELY starts freaking out (lol) and rushes me into the hospital where we run into my doctor and without hesitation Jeremy blurts out (in one breathe mind you) " Her water broke when we were getting out of the car so does that mean that she is going into labor" well my doctor who is still calm says well normally that is what it means lol they wheel me into my room its about 10:30ish and get me all hooked up to the machines and filled out some paperwork and all that other oh so fun stuff. Well the doctor comes in and he checks me and to ALL of our suprise i am dilated to a 3.5 !!! Well my contractions still werent to terribly unbearable so i let everyone know that i wanted to know and called my dad and update everyone and i even got on facebook!!! lol well they came in and checked me every half hour and i was seriouslllllyyyy wishing that it would hurry up i wanted my little girl in my arms so bad ! Well around 4am the pain was FINALLY unbearable so i demanded the epidural lol i got that very close to when i wouldn't have been able to (9cm) and at 4:15 they came in to check me and i was a 9 (I was totally thinking WOOHOO i am almost there) around 4:25 i was feeling a STRONG STRONG urge that i was needing to push so the doctor got into position and check me and sure enough i was a 10 !! go time !! lol so i started pushing and on April 26th 2010 at 4:31am Zoie Isabella took her first breathe in the world !!! I was crying and had to wipe my eyes so i could see her she was GORGEOUS and i cant believe that she had came out of me. They placed her on my chest and i seriously didnt want to let her go slimy or not she was here and i didnt want them to take her away not even for a second but they had to get her cleaned up and "presentable". She weigh in at 8lbs 1oz even and 19 and 3/4 inches long. Now 2 weeks and 4 days later (almost 3 weeks) i still cant believe she is finally here and i cant believe that it has been that long ago she is everything to me and what i would like to call my miracle oops baby, i wasnt expecting her but then again, when do you ever EXPECT to have a kid unless you are planning to have one? but then again you are just planning you dont expect to get pregnant. I had just turned 21 and was definitely not expecting to have a baby by the time i was 22 but I WOULDNT CHANGE IT FOR THE WORLD. She not only made my life have so much meaning but her daddy's also and her grandpa (my dad) and honestly i dont think she couldnt have come at a better time than she did.

So there you have it the story of my labor and the impact that this little 3 week old girl has had on mine and her daddy's life.

Forever Loving Her,
Zoie's Mommy
