Saturday August 25th, 2012 - Mom and I had gone out in the morning looking at garage sales. We found a few good deals but had to cut the outing short as I was having some tightness in my back and we wanted me to be able to go out to dinner that night. After our dinner outing later that night I sat with a heating pad on my back as it was still causing me discomfort and pain. Eventually I went to bed on the couch.

WATER BREAKS!!!!!! We are on our way to base hospital and I am thinking I was right, wasn't gonna make due date for all the doctors' said I would. Get to base and get admitted into Labor and Delivery.

What a way to spend a lazy Sunday, walking the halls waiting for contractions to get strong enough and close enough together. Finally around 330 they started me on medication to speed up the labor process and then a few hours later they add pain medication to IV to help me deal with contraction pains. I DID NOT have an epidural. Around 10pm contractions are getting strong enough and hard enough that they actually think my baby will be here in the next hour or so

After over 16 hours in labor Evelyn Marie is born into this world at 7 pounds 1.3 ounces, 20.5 inches. I can't believe this tiny human is actually mine, feels surreal to be a mother to someone so precious. I do hurt but the love for my daughter totally is overriding the pain.
the precious little miracle we once thought might never happen!! love all of you lots and lots!!
