Life is Full of Surprises

Going into Labor!

AVERY

Sweat trickles down the back of my neck.. It's hot out today.. BALLS HOT!
Im in the kitchen, attempting to get dinner started before my husband arrives from work . Im 8 1/2 months pregnant and im Over it! My back is killing me, my feet are swollen, and I believe that I may be having mild contractions. It's my first baby and let me tell yah, being pregnant is NOT, what it's cracked up to be. Im ready to give birth. I'm having a baby girl and im naming her Angelina. My guess is that she's coming early! Doc says im not measuring very big, according to him, my baby is smaller than the norm. I hope she's healthy. I've been taking my prenatal gummies!

*door knob twists*

I quickly try to finish up, before my husband makes his way through that door but my big ass isn't quick enough.

He laughs, "Making dinner again?"

I nod in embarrassment.

He makes his way over and kisses me sweetly on the forehead, "You're suppose to be resting!" he hands me a big BED BATH & BEYOND bag. "Here, I got you something"

I smile and open it. He bought me a foot massager bath thingy.. I don't know the fancy word for these thinga ma jiggers! But this was well needed. "Thank you baby! My feet are killing me." I say kissing him on the lips.

"How's my baby doing in there?" he squats and talks to big round belly.

My baby moves at the sound of his voice. My husband smiles. She's always showing off for him.

"YUP! She's a daddy's girl!" He exclaims, Rubbing my belly all over.

I smile and head over to the stove. " I made Tomato Basil Spaghetti squash and Pan fried salmon with green sauce."

"Ok! Thank you" he kisses me again. "I'm gonna shower off. I'll be back in 10 !"

"ok! hurry ! your food is going to get cold!" I say.

"And im going to eat every last bit of it!" I hear him mumble as he makes his way up the stairs.

Gosh, I love that man. I head over to the entertainment room and reach in the closet. This is where I store my bigger t-shirts. I cant fit into anything else. I grab the pastel pink one, slip my gray leggings off and change into that. Excited to try out my new foot tub, I run and grab a knife. I struggle with the packaging but in no time break it open. After I hook it up, I place it in front of my wrap around leather couch, sit, and stick my feet in. It feels amazing. I rest my head back and close my eyes.

Charles

I have the best wife in the entire world. My baby cooked for me. Man and her ass in those grey leggings. After dinner, im takin her down. Damn. I Step out of the shower and throw my towel around my waist. I walk into the bedroom and throw on something. When I get down stairs, my wife is nowhere to be found.

"Hunny!" I call out.

*No Answer!*

I walk around the kitchen and through the dining room. "Avy!" I call out once again.

Where the hell did she go?

I walk down the hall and into the entertainment room. My wife is here on the couch sleeping soo beautifully. Her pretty manicured feet rested in the vibrating foot bath.

I grabb a plate and head back to where she's sleeping. I demolish my food within seconds. I sit there for about 2 hours and finish my tv series before she wakes up.

"mmm" I hear groans coming from Avery. She rubs her stomach.

I quickly scoot next to her and put my hand on her belly. "Are you ok baby?"

She tightens her eyes in pain.

"baby what's going on?" I ask.

"My stomach hurts!" a tear escapes from her eyes.

I run into the laundry room and get a towel. Run back into the entertainment room. Dry her feet off and put her socks back on. "cmon!" I try to pick her up.

"Wait!" she moans out. "Where are we going?"

"To the hospital!" i says frantically. "Now!"

She's not responding.

"Im going to put the carseat in the car! And were going!" I bolt out of the room.

Avery

My stomach is tight and I feel like my life is getting ready to end. Im in the entertainment room propped up onto my exercise ball while my husband runs around like a chicken with his head cut off.
All of a sudden, liquid runs out of me. Yeah I panicked. I began to cry, I think it's happening.
After 20 minutes my husband and I make it into the car and we head to the hospital. My contractions have intensified since my water has broken. My body was frozen into one pose and I did breathing exercises with Charles. It helped me focus, instead of thinking about the excruciating pain I was undergoing.

When we arrived at the hospital, a nurse immediately got me assistance. We got situated into a room and I was plugged with IV's and what not. My nurse came in and talked to us for a bit, gave me some ice chips, and some instructions on what we needed to do.

We sat in the labor and delivery room for about 3 hours. On and off contractions... Tired and whipped but this was only the beginning. Shortly after the doctor came in, we received the exciting news that I was ready to push.. I was 10 centimeters dilated and my baby was positioned head down.
I felt lots of pressure and my husband was video recording and holding my hand. Angelina was being stubborn. Her head was pushing in and out slightly.

"She has a lot of hair !" one of the nurses said.

Sweat bullets dripped down my forehead. Things were starting to get critical. About 35 minutes later, I heard a cry.

I shed many tears. Angelina was born. She couldn't be more identical to her daddy. He cried tears of joy and was able to see her. She was placed on my chest for no more than 20 seconds, then they took her away. I couldn't wait to hold my baby!
