Whole year!

Dayson will be turning 1 next week! Can you say where has the time gone..... I keep thinking of this time last year, and how I was so miserable. I just wanted that little boy to come already... When he finally came our life change dramatically. I looked back at my blog and I hadn't wrote my birth story so I am going to now before I loose all the memories. My pregnancy was hard and my body pretty much wigged out and blew up! HAHAHA its the truth! So to sum it up I hated being pregnant. Dayson didn't ever want to come. I went over due, and I tried everything to make him come. I bounced on a ball, got foot massages, breast pumped to start contraction, and tried Castro-oil twice. None of them worked. Finally, my doctor decided to start me. I went in to the hospital at 2 pm and was started on pitocein. It was fine till about 12am than I got the epidural. I fainted while he was putting the needle in my back and almost fell off the bed....They tried again and it went in fine. I still remember that pain. I was way tired so finally the nurses let me sleep(kinda) they came in every hour and had to turn me. I was so annoyed. At 6 am I still was only dilated to a 2.5. I called my sister and was crying, I said "I am never having this baby. He hates me!"After that, a new nurse came on shift and she was very positive and for some reason things started progressing. I was ready to push by 11 am. I pushed for 3.5 hours and finally, I had the most handsome little boy ever. He came out with olive color skin and dark hair. He looked a lot like Joe. Joe was actually the first person to hold him. Insert- Justin my brother in law was in the room the whole time except while I was pushing. I was so shy and I didn't want anyone with me during labor except Joe, but Justin snuck in there some how. He tried to come back in while I was pushing, but I made sure he wasn't coming in. He waited out side the door for the three hours. Once I had him he came right in. Justin was the first one to start bawling. Once he started crying it hit both Joe and I, and we started crying too. Those moments are so precious and indescribable. Having a baby is such a wonderful gift that our Heavenly Father gives to people. I will never take for granted having children. Dayson has been our life this past year. Joe is probably one of the best dads I have seen. He has babysat while I go to school or worked. He changes diapers, feeds Dayson, gives him baths, reads to him, plays and teaches him, and most of all is such a good example to him. They are best buds. I love both of them from the bottom of my heart. This has been such a great year and I cant wait too see what the years to come will bring! HaPpY bIrThDaY DACE!
