Here's a bit about my beautiful baby girl...

I found out I was pregnant on a Saturday in the very end of April. It came as quite a shock to my husband, Kevin and I and we did not believe it to be true until the doctor confirmed it the following Monday. You see, this was a great miracle for us since we had been trying to conceive for over 5 years! I have Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS. This means my ovaries are filled with cysts, making it nearly impossible for me to ovulate. This also means that many of my eggs are malformed and are not viable for fertilization...oh yeah, and I have a much greater risk of miscarriage.

God was very good to us and through much prayer, our pregnancy went perfectly! At our 20 week appointment we found out we were having a girl. We were thrilled beyond belief that we could finally call her by her name and not just "the baby" anymore. All of the sudden everything seemed so real...we were really having a baby!

The month of December dragged on for ages (I'm sure many of you can relate with your last month before giving birth). I loved being pregnant until those last few weeks when I just felt huge and uncomfortable all the time. And I was tired of anticipating Rebekah's birth, I just wanted to experience it. I had been dilated and effaced for several weeks and my body was ready to have her. Thank God for my doctor! She very kindly scheduled us for induction on the 28th of December!

Friday morning of the 28th, we arrived at the hospital bright and early. I was given the Pitocin drip at 7 am and steadily started contracting almost immediately. The pain was tolerable and I was able to breath through all my contractions without much problem. It did take a lot of focus, but felt very natural, easing my discomfort and allowing me to prepare for hard labor. Labor went very quickly for me and I was ready to push sometime around 1 pm. It took several long contractions and a lot of prayer to get Rebekah out, but she finally arrived at 1:35 pm! I made it through the whole labor without any medication!

I just want to say a huge thank you to all the husbands and partners out there. My husband was unbelievable with his support and encouragement. This was all new to him as well and he doubted himself throughout the whole process. But he was wonderful and knew exactly what I needed. I also want to say thanks to all the labor nurses out there. What a job you have! You are changing lives everyday and I know you probably don't get thanked enough...lets face it, most women are in too much pain to think straight during that time.

Well, that's my story. I plan to update Rebekah's page fairly often, sharing new pictures and milestones with you all. Please write when you have the chance and I will happily reply!

Look at that bow! Isn't it so cute on her little head?
