Mya Rose Pearson
Born: December 9th

Weight: 7 lbs 3 oz
length: 20 in.
LABOR...Labor...labor.....not really my choice activity..but nonetheless it has a pretty amazing outcome! I still look back at it and can't believe my body had to go through all that! They had me come into the hospital at 6pm the night of the 8th. Right away they had me put on the beautiful, should be seen on the runway, hospital gown. It was about 7 o'clock and the nurse said I was dilated to a 3 & thinned 70%. Next was the IV...got poked twice which no doubt triggered the nausea! Woo Hoo off to a great start! I couldn't feel em' but the nurse said I was having some contractions. About 7:20 the nurse gave me the pitocin! So we just had to wait and let it work its magic! So at this point we were like...now what...just hang out I guess. Stephen raided the snack room to get some yummy stuff and made sure to bring me a pop sickle and some ice-chips. You know the really hearty frozen stuff. We put a movie in and no joke as soon as I was about to start the slumber party I was like MAN, I gotta go to the bathroom! Let me tell you there is nothing cooler then having to be escorted to the potty every 20 min! Pretty funny! I started feeling contractions pretty quickly and at first they weren't painful, just really odd feeling. Like someone was squeezing my stomach under my skin. By 9 I was not having fun at all..Seriously what the crap was happening! Cramping and tightening MAJOR so so very impossible to describe!!! I had to count or sing in my head to sort of distract myself! So finally I couldn't take it, at 10:30 I pressed the nurse call button..since I also needed to pee! I was actually worried if she didn't hurry that at the next contraction I wouldn't be able to hold it! Then after the nurse checked and said..."Wow, you are at a 6! Do you want the epidural!" Freak yes I did!!! I was the only one in that night so everyone was on call...They had to call the anesthesiologist in. Thank goodness she offered me some pain killer in the IV! Then she called my Dr. in and he said I was at a 7...He decided to break my water after the epidural. At 11:20, epidural time! Which I gotta say was probably the easiest part! Twenty minutes later the Dr. came to break my water. By 12:40am I was all the way dilated! Time went so fast after that! Between setting up for delivery, pushing, throwing up, and pushing more she was born at 1:36am!!! I just couldn't stop looking at her & holding her!!! Amazing!!! She is my precious baby and I love her with my whole heart!
She was always doing funny things with her mouth...probably cause she was starving! I don't blame her the nursing thing..pretty rough!
She is just so Beautiful and I LOVE her to pieces!!! We get to spend all day together and we are best friends! Then we really like when our other best friend DADDY gets home so he can play with us and change diapers too!!! Isn't she the best Christmas present ever!!!
