Time to put myself out there: The Story of You

The Story of You

I never wanted to have kids

I was the girl who said

"I'm not having kids, I'm not getting married!"

But 9 years ago I met your father

He showed me what true love was

But I was still reluctant to have a kid of my own

He has a daughter from a previous relationship so I was sort of playing mommy

It was after spending a lot of time with them as a family that I started wanting my own little person

6 years together and we made the decision together to have our own child

Here I am pretty pregnant

I cannot remember how far along I am in this one

I guess you could say I had a decent pregnancy

The first 3 months I puked all day everyday

The second trimester actually wasn't too bad

But the third was uncomfortable

I had swelling and preclampsia

Which to this day I'm really not sure what it is

Needless to say on a regualr Wednesday in my 3rd trimester I went for my monthly checkup and got sent right across the street to the hospital to have my baby!

In tears I called my 'hubby' and he left work to meet me at the hospital

They admitted me and had to induce, not fun.

I didn't last long with the contractions and asked for an epidural

Thankfully I was numb from the waist down because apparently the nurse trying to stick me in my spinal area couldn't get it right!

Scary!

After the epidural Fiona's heartbeat wouldn't return to normal

so the wonderful nurses rushed me down the hallway to the o.r. for an emergency c-section.

Poor 'hubby' was wisked into a tiny waiting room all by himself without knowing what was going on

They put me out and the next thing I can remember is waking up to the sight of 'hubby' holding our new bundle of joy, whom by the way was 22 days early!

Just a few days old!
