Birth Story

The morning of June 12, 2009 I was scheduled to be induced. The hospital told us to come in at 7:45 am and I was checked in by 8:00 am. My doctor broke my water with hopes that it would start labor. ( I've been 3.5 cm dilated 70 % effaced and a +3 station for weeks.) Nothing happens. I was put on Pitocin at 10:00 am. Contractions start but don't hurt that bad. I was having a ton of back labor. At about 11:55 I beg for an epidural threw very painful and close contractions. The nurse checks me and I'm at a 7. I try to get a epidural but just before he gives it to me I felt like I needed to push. I was already at a 10! So no pain relief for me!!! I pushed for 5 minutes and our little guy was born at 12:12 pm.
After he's born we had some time to hold him and bond. When they were about to move me to the recovery room I started to bleed way to much and they did every thing they could to stop it. 4 hours later it was under control and I was able to see my boys again. Here is a picture of us with my doctor and nurse.
The first time Zac and Tyson met.
One proud daddy!
We call Zac and Tyson, Salt and Pepper.
He's my little peace of heaven.

Dear Zac,


The moment I saw you I fell in love. You looked at me and made my heart melt.
Soon, I found out what being a mom was all about. Being patient, selfless, and most of all loving.
In the beginning we had some tuff times. I think you didn't like being a baby. You still made the best if it with you smile, laugh, and cuddling. 
As you grew I had so much fun seeing you personality come out. You have always been very independent.
You have the best eyes. I could stare at them all day.
Your daddy adores you!! From day one you have been a daddy's boy.
When you turned one I could believe how fast the year had passed!
The next year went even faster!!! You cant tell from this picture but you were sooooo much happier! You could do so much more in life and you love trying new things. Along with that you became more stubborn. You get that from your mom and dad.
That summer was such a fun time with you. We did so many new things together. 
Your super funny!
You have the BEST, crazy hair.
You have been in my life just over two years and they have been so amazing! Soon your life is going to be very different and you'll become a big brother. Zac, never forget how special you are to me. We've had so many wonderful experiences together that I will never forget. You are my first baby ........and will alway be my baby no matter how old you get. I LOVE YOU!
-Mom
