Avery was born 1/18/2010

   I am back!  Sorry I haven't been here.  I am going to try to make it a point to post at least one new post each week.

   Avery Christine Boyer was born 1/18/2010.  That day around 5:30 am I woke up to go to the bathroom and when I went back to bed my water broke!  I just need to say here that it's not a little bit that comes out like I thought.  IT WOULDN'T STOP!  I woke my husband up and we went to the hospital.  They had to start my contractions.  After about 4 hours of pain and I asked about the meds they give to take the edge off.  It was awful.  The room was spinning, I felt like every time I was starting to doze off I couldn't breath and it helped take the edge off of maybe two contractions big deal lol.  I also remember telling my husband my tongue felt like metal in my mouth ... anyways.  After that wore off I got an epidural even though I kept saying I wasn't going to.  So I made the mistake of telling them I was nervous about it, so while I am having the contractions the slowly ask me "Whhhyyy aaaaaarre yyyooou aaaafraid  offf the epidural?"  Guess what, I am not afraid anymore JUST GIVE IT TO ME!!!! I didn't say it out loud.  After the epidural there was no pain at all. Once it was time to push the nurse held one leg and my husband held the other, and we watched the whole thing.  He was excited to cut the cord but the Dr. didn't give him a chance and cut it herself.  I felt bad.   Once I saw her I started crying like crazy.  She was born 6:13 pm.  She is amazing!
