Andrew`s birthstory
I was having contractions since 3:00 am the morning prior to having Andrew. It wasn`t too bad so I went to work for a half day. I for home and the contractions were getting worse. At 7 pm, I went to the dr but was only 2 cm so i was sent home. I coninued having strnger and stronger contractions so at 2 am, I went back to the birthing center. I was admitted and went from 2 cm to 4 cm to 7 in no time. I was just about to get an epidural when they said the heartbeat kept dropping so i was going to have to have an emergecy c-section. They rushed me to the OR (where it was freezing.) It happened so fast. i remember seeing the look of worry on Jared`s face and crashing into things going down the hall. They checked the heartbeat when I was in the OR and it was back to normal but then I had a mask put on my face, was told i was going to take a nap and out I went. When i woke up, I was back in my room and I asked if Andrew was ok and whether he had a lot of haor because I had heartburn like crazy with him. They said he was perfect, barely had hair and then handed him to me. He is the most beautiful thing I have every seen!
