This time last year

Last year on October 6th

 Was my baby shower for Abagail. I remember walking up that morning so excited to see friends and family come support and celebrate the new addition to our family. I was just a couple days away from being 37 weeks pregnant and I was so determined to make it to 38 weeks. Little did I know four days after my shower we were going to have a baby. 

My pregnancy was so easy, I did not have morning sickness. I only had nausea but I'd take that over throwing my guts up any day. I was not in pain like I was with Rylee and I simply enjoyed Abagails pregnancy and never wanted it to end. 

October 7th

 The day day after my shower I cleaned up the party mess, organized Abbys room, and prepared my hospital bag. I was constantly up and moving and not relaxing as I knew my schedule c-section was in a week and I had tons to do. 

October 8th 

I was finally 37 weeks pregnant. I remember waking up when Devin was getting ready for work and I had a rough night sleeping, just uncomfortable all around. My thought I did to much housework and I was paying the price. So when he got up and was about to leave I had him help me get out of our bed and into a nice warm bath to soak my sore muscles. As I was relaxing in my bath I was pour warm water over my belly and it made Abagail move. When she moved I felt an awkward pop. My thought was if my water breaks how will I know. I drained the tub and got out. I then called my OBGYN and asked what I needed to look for if my water did pop while I was in the tub. All day I watched for signs and I did not see anything. 

October 9th

 I had a rough night again. I was awake before Devin got up and when he did I asked him to help me out as it killed to move any part of my body. He helped me into the shower and I soaked up the warm water. I was so sore I couldn't stand, sit, lay I just had to constantly move to try to find something comfortable but nothing seemed to work. I spent the day watching tons of movies with Rylee and relaxing as much as possible. I was still determined to make it to my c-section and I had plans to go to a friends baby shower which was that Saturday. I was determined that Abagail was not going to hold me back from going. 

October 10th 

I slept a little better but I could not move without assistance. I woke up with Devin and with the amount of pain my body was in I told him that I wanted her to wait to come but if this pain keeps up I wanted to have her today and that I would do anything and everything to get her out of me. I took another shower hoping it would help ease the pain. As Devin was about to leave Rylee woke up and wanted to take a shower too. She joined me but I was so uncomfortable all around it did not last long. I started a bath for her and laid on our bed watching her play in the tub. After playing for a while she said she was done. I tried getting up to help her out but I couldn't. So I told her to come to me and she got out and wrapped herself into a towel. (She is such a big girl). She then crawled up onto the bed and played with my hair telling me that I was going to be okay over and over again. As I was helping her get dressed Rylee and I both heard a loud popping noise. Rylee looked at me and said "Oh oh, Abbys coming." It completely took me by surprise. So I asked her if I should stand up to see if my water broke and Rylee said "ya mommy". So I stood up and water gushed everywhere! 

I called Devin and told him to get home so we could go have a baby. When we got to the hospital it went by so fast. We got in  I got an IV took medicine and then the doctor came in and we went to the OR. Getting the epidural was not as bad as I have heard (with Rylee I was sedated) It was so cold and when the shot sent that tingly feeling down my legs it was so warm. Then they started and a few minutes later Abagail was born! When Abby was getting all cleaned off I was listening to the doctors talk "grab this one wipe it all down and place it back where it belongs"

Now here I am today 2 days away from my baby turning ONE. I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. Even though I have been with her every step of the way I still feel that I have not had enough time to soak it all in.
