Birth story

It was Sunday, March 23rd. I was full term- 40 weeks pregnant and it was my due date :) Ha.
I felt tired and uncomfortable all day just like every pregnant woman does .
Brad ,my mom and I went shopping that day but it was pretty hard for me to walk..

At about 9 pm that night I called to the hospital because I felt really uncomfortable pressure ..there were no contractions or pain  just a heavy pressure on my lower belly...
They told me that it sounds normal and if I don't have contractions I should just stay home...

2 hours later I had strong contractions within 3-5 min apart...went down stairs to tell Brad and we quickly rushed to the hospital. As we entered the door my water broke. They checked me and I was 5 sm dilated.

  Within an hour I asked for an epidural because my contractions were getting stronger and stronger... I was so ready to meet our little boy! I couldn't wait to experience it all over again ..that sweet baby smell, tiny little toes and preciseness.

The epidural slowed it down a little. Once I was fully dilated the midwife got everything ready... I pushed once and she told me to stop because he was coming out all on him own :) I started to laugh and he came right out! Samson was born at  5:46 am on Monday 3-24-2014! He was 6 pounds 14 ounces and 20.5  inches long! My little boy was so perfect!!!

                                     I am so thankful to God for a healthy boy and easy delivery!

                                          Grandma and Nolan came to see Samson!

 Nolan sure loved holding his little brother. He was so nice and gentle with him.

                                                         We are ready to go home!
