Love like no other

Birth Part 2

I woke up to a nurse patting my shoulder. She said "mrs. kinney, I need to check your cervix to see how far you are from having your baby." I nodded and sat up. I looked to see taylor sleeping in the chair like he was when I fell asleep a few hours ago.

I put my feet in the stirrups. The nurse said "ok, well, your 8 centimeters dilated and your baby should be here in just a few short hours." I gasped and slapped Taylor's arm as hard as I could to wake him up.

He jumped and said "what? what?" I laughed a little and said "the nurse just checked me and she said I'm almost ready to have him!" taylor smiled really big and said "thank god!" I faintly smiled and grabbed my phone to look through Instagram.

An hour later, the nurse came in and said "the doctor is coming shortly to see if your cervix dilated any" I nodded my head and patiently waited. The doctor came in and said "hi, stefani, if you can put your legs up here I will see how far along you are." So once again I put my legs in the stirrups while he checked me. The doctor said "your 10 centimeters, it's time to push" I got nervous as he said that.

One of the nurses held my hand while taylor helped hold my leg. I grasped the bed rails as the doctor said "push". I barred down and pushed and pushed until finally, my little boy came into the world. They laid him on my chest and rubbed him, cleaning all of the blood off him. He was just crying as hard as he could. I kissed his head and the nurse took him off my chest and did a quick exam on him then she brought him back swaddled in a blanket with a little cap on.

I was crying and I looked at taylor and seen a tear escape his eye. He kissed me and said "you did good babe" I shook my head and said "no WE did great!" he laughed. I said "how is it possible to love someone so much, that you first met!" taylor just smiled and said "I don't know but it happened to me"

After the doctor stitched me up, I could not take my eyes off of our son. He is the most precious thing I have in my life and I will do anything in my power to protect him. Taylor didn't know it but i was laying listening to him talk to joey and it was the cutest thing. He is already such a great father. Joey seems to love him a lot.

I was lying in bed holding joey and he started to cry. I sung to him to see if that would work. "Jooooey! oh jooooey!" and he quite immediately. "He loves my singing, he is definitely a little monster!" I said to taylor. T laughed and said "he isn't the only one" I smiled and kissed him.

I can't believe that I finally have my son in my arms. I can't wait to just get him home and to get to show him his nursery.
