The announcement of our baby girl was Big, no a HUGE, surprise to everyone last February. And then the arrival was of her was a fast one. What does God have in store for this precious bundle?
I started having labor pains for weeks but Monday night they started pretty regular. By Tues. morning they were closer and I thought for sure it would take some time to have her, so we all went about out day. The kids off to school, Paul to work and me to run an errand and to volunteer at the school. By 9am I was in the parking lot of the school and contraactions were about 5 min. apart and I thought I better get home and to the hospital. I had to call my mother-in-law to take me because Paul was in Florence working. I called him and told him I was going in and he said he would be on his way. Bernice, my mother-in-law showed up and we headed to the hospital. We were there by 10:30 am and I was hurting really badly by the time they got me into a room. Contractions were coming faster and stronger. I kept asking for an epidural but things were going quickly. They were trying and they were trying to get a hold of my dr. too. I started at 4 cm dialated and by the time my dr. came in I was at a 6 and she was breaking my water. I got a 7 and then 8 and there was no stopping things.
WHERE WAS PAUL? Poor guy was on his way and hurrying as fast as he could. Tisha showed up and grabbed my hand and my mom was next to me too, trying to get Paul up here as fast as possible and Bernice was racing down the hall trying to get Paul too.
I screamed and yelled and pushed and had NO EPIDURAL. What is up with that? Of course this little one will test me for life. :) Tisha was a great coach and I couldn't have done it without her. By 11:47 am Ava was out and 5 minutes later Paul came in not knowing what to do, come to me or go to Ava. Very sweet, which girl does he attend to first?
We are very thankful for her and I love her to pieces. She is very sweet and so far a very good baby. I am so thankful for family and friends who were there and helped through it all. It was an amazing fast adventure, at least the birth was. :)
Caden and Arlee are soooooo in love with her. More on them will come because there has been some funny things said and I need to share them. But for now there is the beginning story of Ava's life and I know she is here to bless so many around her. God has given her to us for a special reason and I believe she is a true gift from God. Just like my other two. :)
