Text of the page (random words):
was absolutely incredible the whole time eventually jill arrived and she told me that the water can sometimes slow things down so it would be good if i tried some other methods for a bit promising the water later if i needed i got out put my running shorts and t shirt back on and joe and i walked the halls during contractions i would face him wrap my arms around his neck and hang on him while he rubbed my back the next few hours continued with the walking and various positions in the delivery room i sipped on coconut water which tasted so great during everything ice and tried to munch on a couple crackers and jello but i quickly regretted that since the crackers made my mouth even more dry and the taste of orange jello lingered in my mouth making me a bit sick during contractions some time in the 10 o clock hour i asked if jill would check me to see if i was progressing because things were becoming very very intense and painful i was so bummed and slightly defeated when she said i was only at 7cm and my water was still in tact jill said she could break my water if i wanted but it would make things more intense it was up to me i decided to wait i d go walk some more and try other positions to progress further my mind was wandering a lot i didn t want to talk between contractions i began thinking i am never doing this again this is so hard but then i would tell myself you can do this you will be so happy when it s all over just keep going everyone around me was so encouraging joey kept telling me how great i was doing and continued to help me so much and my mom suggested how i should breath through each contraction though i never mastered her method joe and i walked the halls one more time it was sometime between 11 and 11 30 after just one walk down the hallf and back we returned to our room it was too much for me someone either joe or my mom i can t remember who rubbed more of the same essential oil on my back clary sage while i stood leaning over a tray swaying my hips back and forth the next contraction came on so much stronger and more painful my quiet moans from earlier in my labor had grown to much louder ones i told someone to go get jill i felt close she returned i climbed back on the bed and she concluded i was 8 5cm i may have cried i was so tired i talked with her about breaking my water and asked my mom what i should do she said that even though it will make it harder that it would help it to all be over faster and we would have our baby with each random check of his heart rate it remained strong so we trusted that he was doing well it was such a strange feeling when she broke my water as the fluid that cushioned the contractions left my body the pain grew much stronger i moved to the all fours position trying to cope but i felt like i was going to throw up joey was at the head of the bed to my left and there was nothing for me to throw up in yet so he told me it was okay i could throw up on him that s love i tell you i was thankful in that moment there wasn t much in my stomach and i m sure joey was too my stomach was heaving upwards but nothing was coming up i moved back into the jacuzzi and joey climbed up on to the back corner of it so he could remain right by my side i was moving all over the place i was struggling to control myself as i said loudly that i needed to push jill checked and gave me the go ahead to push however felt natural so at 12 45 am i began pushing in the water i tried so hard but after some time jill said i wasn t making much progress and that i should get out and try a different position i stayed in the water for a few more contractions as they prepped a few things in my room and then i moved to the bed and tried the all fours position on my hands and knees with each contraction i pressed back lowering my chest towards the bed again after a bit of time jill thought we could do better she sent for the birthing stool which basically looks like a u shaped toilet seat she suggested joey sit behind me that way in between contractions i could lean back and rest on him and during them i could lean forward pushing with every last bit of energy i had while he pushed on my very low back this definitely proved to be the most effective position our baby was moving down i kept asking if he was progressing at all because i couldn t feel where he was i needed updates some of my pushes were far more effective than others i was exhausted and didn t have much left that same throw up feeling that i had been having continued only now the heaving upward shifted down i could literally feel my body trying to expel this baby from my body and each time i would feel this heaving downward that my body was doing all on its own jill would say that s it keep pushing like that but i couldn t control it it was totally an automatic response my body was doing on its own and it was incredible i knew my body was meant to do this i began to feel the intense burning or ring of fire that i had read so much about and i knew he was close so i pushed harder jill asked for my hand so i could feel his head crowning with just a couple more pushes his head came out and his body quickly followed i opened my eyes just in time to see him slide into jill s hands oh the sense of relief she immediately lifted him up into my arms as he cried so loudly and i was all tears and crying joe was in perfect position to see it all happen just as i had seen it and we took in those first moments together after a few minutes he was able to cut the cord our baby boy was born at 2 17 am 24 hours after my labor began we were in awe we finally had our baby boy in our arms joe and my nurse helped me move back on to the bed so i could rest our baby on my chest it was an indescribable moment as i lay there with my baby on me and my husband to my right william who didn t get his name until about 12 hours later had stayed so strong even throughout pushing his heart rate never dropped and he did so well he was perfect in every way to us within just a few minutes he was showing signs that he wanted to nurse he latched on so quickly and nursed so well right away after delivering the placenta and getting a couple stitches the jacuzzi was filled with fresh warm water and i was helped back into the tub to give my baby his first bath william calmly rested on my thighs in the water looking right at me it was a perfect moment in every sense after his bath joe got to hold him for the first time i wish i could have seen it but they all left me to soak in the tub and rest for a few minutes so needed eventually they weighed and measured him 6 lbs 6 oz which my mom guessed right and 19 1 4 inches long joe held our baby boy on the couch as he sat to my left my mom on my right while we took it all in i was so thankful to be sitting there with all three of them we were all exhausted but it had been an amazing night after a quick visit to the nursery joe william and i were taken to our post partum room our first time alone together as a family packing up to go home from the hospital headed home joe s favorite way to study 4 days old william has been doing great so far he is 3 weeks old today he loves to nurse sleep on his mom and dads chest and be held all of the time he hates having his diaper changed getting dressed and being hungry we are so excited to finally have some warmer weather to go out on walks and finally get out of the house as of yesterday he weighs 7 lbs 14 oz april 25th i think about his birth all the time in the moment i kept thinking never again it was just so hard but within minutes after he was born i was considering it in the future and just hours later i was completely sold on going natural again i really am so excited to give birth again of course it s intense really the only word i think sums it up but so incredibly worth it i am so thankful my husband stayed by myside the entire time pushing me to keep going so thankful that my mom was able to make it i truly needed her there we were lucky enough to have her stay for 2 weeks after he was born which went by way too fast i am constantly needing reassurance from her that things both william and i are experiencing are normal and not to worry i am so thankful to be his mom and that joe is his dad and that we are in this together it is so surreal this baby is really ours thank you for choosing us sweet william we will love you forever william 12 days old 8 comments sunday february 17 2013 sunday gratitude i am a big ponderer i can get lost in thought for long periods of time and become almost oblivious to the world around me in that time today as with every other day these past 7 months i am thinking about my child our child throughout the many months of pregnancy i of course have been thinking about him but it has felt so surreal that it s been almost too much for me to comprehend the fact that i am his mother his presence has felt distant like i would never get to the point of actually holding him in my arms but for the past couple weeks it has become far more real this wiggly little thing inside me is our baby boy and in two shorts months maybe a little less or more who knows we will finally get to see him hold him and love him face to face surreal yes but also very real perfect and right i attribute this shift in thinking to a visit to the temple three weeks ago i became rather emotional at one part and it carried into the celestial room a room that signifies reaching celestial glory with our father in heaven that is most beautiful and sacred i couldn t contain my tears of gratitude for my husband and our baby boy he had been active throughout the session but yet when i walked into the celestial room he became calm i was so grateful for my experience that day that i couldn t wait to go back the same thing happened two days ago joe and i were the only two people in the celestial room a very rare opportunity i sat there waiting for joe for a few minutes and when he entered the room my feelings for him were beyond words we sat there for quite some time whispering a little bit and thinking this time our baby boy was movin all around he definitely wanted his presence to be known in this moment sitting in the most beautiful room with the most perfect spirit filling it dressed in white i had this indescribable feeling what feelings i could identify was that i knew that we would be together forever and that our sweet children would be with us as well so today i am thinking about who our baby boy will become what his likes dislikes will be his dreams and desires for this life what we can teach him as his parents what he can teach us and so much more we have a father in heaven who loves us more than we may ever understand who trusts us with his children to teach and guide them back to him what a responsibility we have and i am forever grateful for it and now a video that makes me tear up every time so very grateful today cold yet perfect day at the temple 2 comments sunday february 10 2013 baby shower after the crazy time i had at the 28 week mark i wasn t sure if i d get to go back to arizona for my baby shower my test results came back normal after my hospital visit but contractions continued a lot for the next week at times having up to 14 an hour and only 4 to 5 minutes apart nerve wracking at my 29 week mark i boarded the plane home to arizona praying my contractions would calm themselves while i was away from joe the visit was short but very sweet time spent with family and good eats always make for a good trip thursday was my baby shower it was extremely surreal sitting there opening adorable baby clothing blankets and things and knowing they were for our baby boy like wow this is really going to happen we are really going to have a baby it was so fun and i loved being able to see so many wonderful friends and family my beautiful grandma left and aunt margie middle who is 93 she is awesome and got our little man the cutest baby bath robe ever finally we ll have a baby to bring to the party when joe and i hang out with these girls and their hubs so lucky to have the best aunt and cousins ever linds we missed you love these girls just missing mataya i d say her absence was acceptable though considering her husband was gearing up to win the superbowl woo hoo leilani mataya and i are all due within a month of each other so exciting corinne and momma vicki i am soo in love with this quilt that momma vicki made for her first grandchild i d say he is one extremely lucky boy to be surrounded by so much love and coziness i couldn t wait to get home to show joe momma and i side note she just did her last long run yesterday 23 miles gearing up for the phoenix marathon in 3 weeks she is awesome i soo look forward to joining in on the marathon training conversation once again in the not too distant future younger brother jt and i he was heading to the airport for an early flight to salt lake friday morning before my flight the five of us my mom brother kris tiersa and ella who apparently was being blinded by the sun went to my favorite breakfast joint the farmhouse always so good kris and tiersa are expecting their 4th baby in september so dang excited for them i was so happy to get home to my husband and show him all of the fun things our boy was given my favorite room in our apartment i think i need to tone down my excitement for him to come because it s still a little ways away 31 weeks on tuesday i just need to get some pictures and things on the walls so incredibly excited to have him home with us in a couple months one more thing the sweetest thing happened while i was at work this week i work at a running store here in downtown lincoln truly an awesome store so i get to meet a lot of really great people and a lot of semi and fully strange people in the past month since my belly has been showing a bit more i ve heard things like is that your belly button sticking out why yes yes it is thank you for pointing that out or what are you 16 and pregnant said in a shocked tone i wasn t even helping that lady thank goodness but this week i was helping this older gentleman he seemed to take a while to warm up and trust me about the shoes but was pleasant to work with after he paid for his things he threw down a 20 bill on the counter and said this is for you to buy something for your baby i was stunned i said no no no you don t need to do that his reply please i will never have grandchildren so i want you to use it tears filled my eyes i couldn t believe it he had no idea that earlier that day i had been struggling physically with work and questioning my ability to keep doing it his generosity and kindness to a total stranger lifted me up for the rest of the work week and made me even more grateful to have the job that i do well til next time 2 comments tuesday january 22 2013 hiccup at 28
