I woke up the day before Joes birthday at 2:30 in the morning with excruciating pain through out my stomach. "Joe babe wake up." I said to him hitting him in the face. "What baby what's wrong?" He asked me sitting up. "I'm having this awful pain through out my stomach." I told him trying to take breaths in between the pain. "Oh my gosh do you think shes coming?" He asked me. "I'm not sure, we need to go to the hospital." I told him. He jumped up to put his pajama pants on, socks and shoes on before calling his mom to let her know what was going on. He helped me up to slip on my slippers, grab my hospital bag, Stella' s hospital bag and my purse before heading to the car. The hospital was about 5 minutes away from our new house and the pain kept getting worse and worse. "Baby just breathe we are almost there." He told me reaching over to grab my hand. Denise met us at the hospital and was waiting for us when we pulled up with a wheelchair and a nurse. She helped me out of the car and into the chair as Joe handed our stuff to the nurse. He went to park the car and would meet us inside on the baby unit. I was wheeled into room 320 where the nurse helped me into bed while Denise set our stuff in the corner. Several other nurses came in to hook me up to machines, and make sure everything was okay before the doctor came in. Joe had came in and sat down in the bed beside me with Dr. Peterman behind him. "Hello Avery how are you?" She asked me. "Hanging in there." I replied trying to sit up. "I checked your charts and it looks like Stella wants to come early, which is normal in first babies." She told me. "Wow I'm not due for another 2 weeks." I replied. "Sometimes they are either late or early,  but right now we will make the labor slow since you are only a couple centimeters dilated." Dr. Peterson replied leaving the room. Denise texted everyone and let them know what was going on. "Maybe I will have her on your birthday." I told Joe. "That would be the best gift ever." He replied. The nurses came in and out through out the day to check on me and baby Stella. Danielle and Sarah came to visit me while Denise went home to shower and rest until something actually happens. The rest of the day went by fast, I fell asleep with Joe on the couch next to me. Hopefully Stella Denise Marie decides to come tomorrow
