So Sad

One year ago today about this time I was in the hospital almost ready to give birth to my little baby boy. That day for me started out about 5 am. Rob was up getting ready to go to work and I wasn't feeling so good. So I got up and sat in the living room with him (probably watching ESPN or a baseball game). Rob got ready to leave so I got in the shower. I had been thinking that things were going to happen for a couple of day so he headed to work as usual. But this day was different. I quickly grew more uncomfortable. I ended up filling up the tub to see if that would help. Nothing helped. So I decided that it was time. I called Rob's office and Adam D answered the phone. Rob hadn't made it to work yet. So I told Adam to find him and send him home that it was time to go to the hospital. I woke Kenzie up and while she got dressed and ready for school I made her lunch. I ended up in the shower one more time to try to easy my pain till Rob came home. As soon as he got there we gave Kenzie two options: 1-Go to school and go on her field trip she had been looking forward to or 2 - Go to the hospital with us and see her baby brother be born. She jumped at the chance to go to the hospital. So we all piled in the car for the two minute trip to the hospital. Rob dropped us girls off at the entrance while he parked. My contractions were coming very quickly. I had three between the entrance and the L&D doors. And then another as I rung the bell for the nurses. As soon as I got in to L&D the nurse asked me about my labor with Kenzie. Because I had her in three hours they immediately checked me. I was already 7 cm. They put me right into a delivery room. After another hour and forty five minutes of labor for a total of three and a half hours labor (with Kenzie watching over the dr's shoulder) we had our precious little boy. Cameron Douglas was born weighing in at 8 1/2 pounds and a little over 19 inches. The nurses cleaned him up while the dr took care of me. Everyone congratulated us the handed us our boy and they were gone. Everyone left us to spend some quiet quality time just our little family of 4. I am very happy with the whole experience that I had in the German hospital, the staff was great. And I was very glad that both Rob and MacKenzie were there. It is a moment that I will remember for life. I couldn't have pictured a more perfect way to add to our family. I miss my tiny baby boy. But I am glad that Cam is growing and changing. He is a real character now. And always into trouble. But some times I wish I had that tiny sleepy little baby back to snuggle with.
