My due date is just a couple of days off so me and Brandon to be prepared for anytime if baby Sarah decides to make an entrance soon. We can't wait to meet our little baby girl and we are just about ready for her arrival. We are both a little nervous if I go into labor at an unexpected time like in the middle of the night or if Brandon is at work but he's made sure he's going to be home in the next couple of days. Anyway Brandon and I have just had dinner and we are sat down relaxing for the evening now. It's what we love to do best and it could be the last time we do it before we are parents. Well we hope not forever. "Are you okay, baby?" Brandon asks. "Yeah I'm okay" I reply. "Look at you. You look ready to pop, my dear" he said. "Yeah I feel ready to pop actually" I reply. So we carry on relaxing together for a while longer and fall asleep as we were both tired. I was not long disturbed by a pain in my stomach. What feels like contractions. "Brandon" I say nudging him next to me. "What is it?" he said. "I think I'm having contractions. You should get me to the hospital" I say. "Oh it's okay, baby. Don't panic. I'll get the things" Brandon said. He goes into the nursery to get the bags. I get off the couch and almost fell off. "It's okay, babe. I got you" Brandon said dragging into my arm. He puts my shoes and jacket on and leads me out to the car and gets me buckled in bevies going to the hospital. The contractions continue to get worse and Brandon drives as fast as he could. It was after 1:30am when we got there.

When we arrive at the hospital, Brandon parks up and helps me in. I was still having contractions but my waters haven't broken yet. We made our way to the maternity unit as quick as we could. We get in the elevator and all of a sudden my waters break. "There goes. My waters have just broken. Oh shit" I say. "It's okay, baby. We're nearly there" Brandon said. The elevator stops at the maternity unit and we get out. "Excuse me. My girlfriend has just gone into labor. She's having contractions and her waters have just broken" Brandon says nervously. He's just as nervous as me. Anyway a few minutes later I get brought into a room and prepped for labor. The doctor examines me and I'm only about 6cm dilated so still quite a way to go. I get put in a hospital gown which I don't like. Brandon sits beside me and grabs my hand and smiles at me. "Don't worry. Everything will be okay and our beautiful baby girl will be her soon. We'll be able hold her and tell her we love her" Brandon said. "Yeah you're right, my love. I'll just be glad when it's over and we can see Sarah's face" I reply. Brandon smiles and squeezes my hand. Sometime later and we both had fallen asleep in the hospital room. I don't know what time it was. It was several hours later. I was disturbed by a sharp pain in my stomach. I could feel Sarah's head pushing down further. I tap Brandon on his shoulder and he wakes up. "I think it's time. I think she's coming" I say. "Okay, honey. I'll get the midwives" he replies. A few minutes later the midwives come in. "Can you see her head?" I ask. "You're fully dilated but I can't see her head yet. Stay calm, we are here" one of the midwives said. "I'm here too, babe. Not long now. Hopefully" Brandon said. I get in a comfortable position to push and deliver. Nothing is that comfortable when you're giving birth. The most comfortable position for me was on my hands and knees. Brandon stayed by my side as I was pushing. He and the midwives encourage me. He kept on giving me the oxygen to blow on as I was struggling to breathe

Not long after and our baby girl Sarah Grace Arreaga came into the world. Labor wasn't too bad once I got to the end. I have to say it was definitely worth it in the end as our beautiful little baby girl is here safe and sound. Wow! She is so beautiful. Me and Brandon are so blessed with her. It's about an hour after Sarah was born. Brandon and I got to hold her pretty soon after she was born. He is holding her right now. "OMG she's so beautiful. I have never seen a more beautiful baby in my life" Brandon said getting a bit emotional. "She is. She's incredible and so beautiful" I reply. "Just like her momma" he replies. "B, I've just notice that she looks a lot like you" I say. "Yeah she does actually" Brandon replies. "She has your features and your eyes" I say. "She's my daughter and she's going to be a daddy's girl. Aren't you, Sarah?" he said looking down at her. "She is already a daddy's girl" I reply. "I can't wait to watch her grow up and walk her down the aisle and stuff" Brandon said. He leans down and kisses Sarah on her forehead. We are so happy to finally be parents
