The birth of Noah

I was not as prepared as I always thought I would be. Labor is the most painful thing I've ever been through. My labor started at about 10 AM Sunday the 27th. Contractions came and kept coming until I had finally had enough at about 7am Monday morning. This time I was getting admitted. This meant I wasn't leaving without a Baby Noah. Pitocin had to be used to get my contractions regular. The epidural was not something that I had wanted, but I was tired of the pain. And it didn't hurt a bit. It stormed the day Noah was born, just like it had the day we got married, I still know there is something more to this. I finally reached my 10 centimeters at about 8:15. It was me, Jeremy, and Dr. Thompson when I finally got to push. At 9:46 after an hour 1/2 of pushing, The most gorgeous baby I had ever seen entered our world. He was rushed away before I ever got to touch him.


At 3 o'clock in the morning, We finally got to hold our little man. He was sweet, and gorgeous, and he had the hiccups, that's how we knew he was ours.









All of the waiting was finally over, and it was so worth it!

Birthdays to remember

August came and we had two birthdays to celebrate before we celebrated the birth of our son. Jeremy made my birthday the best. He invited my closest friends to come and surprise me for dinner. I was truly surprised again. He constantly surprises me, when I least expect it. Something I am learning to enjoy

We finally decided I was pregnant enough to show off my big ol' belly and had some really cute maternity photos take by aSw. She is awesome.

The next month was just spent waiting, hanging out with friends, and getting very anxious.

Noah was soon to show his gorgeous little face...

.:Months and months of waiting:.

We got back from our honeymoon, and had 5 months til the expected due date. We had plenty to do to keep us occupied. We had to adorn our house with tons and tons of wedding pictures, love on our only child at the time, Miss Sadie Love & prepare the Nursery for our gorgeous little man.

Jamaica while fat...

Soo, of course Jeremy being Jeremy our honeymoon was a surprise. Another surprise of this, is that I would be flying for the first time. I sat speechless as we drove to the airport, I was sooo scared. I cried from the time we walked into the airport until about 30 minutes after being in the air. oh and I still hate it by the way. We landed in Jamaica, and I kissed the ground. Oh god, it was hot. We got to our resort and it was soo soo gorgeous. I was on my honeymoon, with my husband. There weren't many things that I could do being as fat and pregnant as I was, however we went shopping, I got the best pedicure I've ever had, Jeremy climbed the falls, and we did go sailing. oh boy neither one of us will ever go sailing ever again. I still can't believe they couldn't hear me on the beach. We had so much fun, being lazy and being new. New at the marriage thing.





Back to reality and back to work, ohh ohh and back to the countdown to our little baby Noah

May 9th 2009

After 3 short months of careful, very careful planning the day was here. And I was just as nervous as I always thought I would be, I have horrible stage fright. The flowers were perfect,
the stage was gorgeous, my bridesmaids were beautiful, everything was perfect. I walked out and I saw him, I knew I was going to lose it, I knew I was about to start hysterically bawling all over the place. Somehow that day, Jeremy gave me silent strength. I walked and smiled, I got to him and I know I had the biggest smile there had ever been I'm sure I even giggled out loud too, I was so happy. The ceremony was hot, I was 4 months pregnant. The preacher said wonderful things about us, shared personal moments with our guests, and some have said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. That day I married my soulmate. That day was perfect. It stormed during our reception. I've been told it's very good luck.

Thanks to everyone who shared our day.

The Offering

I waited, and I waited, and I waited patiently. I know he wanted to make it extra special. And I know he had a "secret getaway" already planned. But due to the recent circumstances, We needed to get married sooner. He thought of a new plan. And he started to try to propose, I wasn't getting it. We shower together, a lot. He put the ring in his mouth, expecting me to ask for my shampoo. I didn't. We got out, got dressed, and sat down to watch TV. I finally realized there was something in his mouth!!! M: "What are you eating Jeremy" J: "Nothing" M: "Yea right, let me see"J: "Well come see" So I went over pried his mouth open, and there sat my ring. And then he asked me. Of course I said YES! It was a gorgeous ring, everything I had ever wanted.

We set the date, and started planning.

Well... That was fast

Ever heard of a woman's instinct? Well, I had no signs other than my instinct saying I was pregnant. I took one pregnancy test, waited a minute. "JEREMYYYYYY, oh my gosh what do we do." "Let's take another test." I took my second test, and it had two lines before I could get done peeing. We had already talked about having children. We both knew we were a forever kind of together and that one day we would have children. We are both such free spirits and not so much planners, that we had kind of decided to leave it to fate. We didn't realize fate wanted us to have a baby so badly. Well, That was that. We started spreading the word the next day. We'll leave everyone's reactions alone, and just say that everyone involved is just as happy as they can be that we have this little monster now. We went to the doctor in February and heard our babies heartbeat for the very first time. We were both so in love with our "little peanut". He really did look like a peanut. Things didn't really end up happening like "they should have" but I wouldn't ever change a thing. I know people were disappointed in us, but I just have to hope that they now understand.

We were having a baby, & we were super super excited.
