Can you believe my baby girl is 10 years old today? I can't either, I remember like it was yesterday giving birth to her. She woke me up this morning wanted to open her presents like it was Christmas Day. Where has the time gone? I want to keep her small, I want to keep her innocent, but I am afraid that she is developing more and more into a young lady everyday. Here is a little bit of background info on the day she was born......
It was later in the night on the 27Th that I was feeling my belly tighten, I had no idea that these were in fact contractions. I lay ed down because I was tired, but couldn't sleep because of the tightening. So I just lay ed there, and rested. Later on about midnight they started getting stronger and to the point that I couldn't lay down anymore, so I started pacing the floor. My parents had gone to bed and I was the only one up. Finally Clint woke up my parents to let them know what was going on and I still insisted that we stay home for a while to see what happens. My mom and dad were just watching me pace the floor, until it got to the point that the contractions started getting painful. My dad insisted that we not have a home birth and maybe would be a good idea to get me to the hospital. As we were driving the contractions started coming faster and were not fun, I was trying to breath and focus, but man that was difficult to do. When we got to the hospital they checked me and I found out that I was in labor, she was coming. My primary Dr. was not on call that night, and I was determined to wait for him. I was having a hard time because it was painful and my mom and cousin talked me into an epidural (of course with a huge fight, with me crying, because I was such a baby about needles). When the epidural was inserted, it didn't kick in fast enough and a huge contraction hit me. Needless to say the poor anesthesiologist almost got his arm broken because I wasn't feeling better after I let him stick this huge needle in my back. He then administered the meds and wow oh wow, I was in heaven, didn't feel a thing. I even took a nap! Thank God for Drugs (legal ones of course). I lay there letting them check me telling me that I am progressing and that she will be born soon. My dad, my brother Justin, Mom, and Cousin Brandy sit waiting, waiting, and waiting, all night long, in those uncomfortable hospital chairs all night long. They did so well! At about 6 AM in the morning they finally give me the okay to push, so I start and then they tell me to stop that the Dr needs to be paged because she is coming. At 6:36 Am my Dr runs in to catch Jaycee Jordan Hedberg! He got on call at 6:30 Am and 6 min later she was born. What an awesome Christmas present. They brought her back to us in a stocking, with a little hat on. She was 7 1/2 lbs and perfect...... Now 10 years later she is no baby, actually a little woman!!
Happy Birthday baby girl! I love you so much and am truly bless to have you as my daughter!
