THE BIG DAY!!!!

My beautiful son Liam Lovelace was born on December 24th, 2007 at 12:52am. He was very early as he was not due till January 12. My delivery was pretty rough. I had to take the epidural when I was only 2cm dialated. There was way too much back pressure so they gave it to me and I was a happy camper! After they gave it to me I went from 2cm to 10cm in only an hour. Then an hour after Liam was born!
