HAPPY 25TH TO ME!

(This is my attempt to get caught up on my blog - at least I'm going to try)

I'm taking you all back to August 14, 2009. I was 39 weeks pregnant and lets just say READY TO GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD!!! After going to the hospital on the 9th for contractions (which I was sent home) I was sure I was going to be pregnant FOREVER!!!

August 9th update: I woke up at 6:30am having contractions, Jason was in bed and I woke him up to tell him that it had started, it was a TERRIBLE time for him with his job so he started talking to my belly, telling our baby girl to "SLOW DOWN". All I was thinking was you better shut your mouth, I'm ready for this to be OVER!!! So we loaded up the car around 9am and drove to the hospital only to be told that we had to go back home, it wasn't time. They watched me for an hour and I didn't change, so YIPPIE!!! I was still pregnant!!!

Flash forward back to the 14th - my birthday. It was Friday and I was at home (my parents house) hanging out watching T.V. when my friend Amy called me on the phone. I was having contractions all week, but they would come and go. This morning was no different. While I was talking to her... a HUGE one hit!!! I got down on my knees and all I could hear was Amy yelling "BREATH, JUST BREATH" - really, breath - that was the last thing on my mind. I was so excited!!! I wanted to share my birthday with my beautiful baby girl... let's face it, I'm no longer going to have a B-Day anyway so why not just have her on my actual B-Day... It seemed like it was going to happen. I called Jason to let him know it was time and he was in a meeting. He was on his way home when all of the sudden the contractions STOPPED!!! I was about sick of this maybe, maybe not game. It wasn't funny at all!!! When he got home we went to Target to walk around, it was our attempt to get the show on the road. NO LUCK!!!

So after a few hours we headed back home to get ready for dinner, my parents were taking us out for my B-Day!!! I was feeling like poo, but I went anyway. So here are the pictures from my B-Day... who knew our baby girl would be in our arms the very next day..


Check out the baby bump!



Our family was about to get a little bigger...

I'm pretty sure the picture speaks for itself...
