We had your baby shower with the help of some amazing people who loved you, and were excited for your arrival. Things were ready for you, and we were waiting on you. Doctor appointments were once a week, and our doctor went out of town for a week around your due date. Your due date was August 30, 2014, and before our doctor went out of town she was hoping you were going to wait and guess what you did! Your due date came and gone and now we were going to be induced. The hospital was ready for us thanks to our doctor for scheduling us in as well as we filled out the paperwork before hand. September 4th we had our last doctor appointment before you came, our doctor was back from vacation and was happy to see we didn't have you. Our appointment was in the afternoon, and we needed to be at the hospital at 9pm. So once our doctor appointment was over we went home got things ready, load the car up, and daddy and I had our last dinner together as two. The time came around to head to the hospital, we check in and the waiting game started. We couldn't be happier, excited, and ready to start this new journey with you and as a family of three. Well time pass by and my mom/grandma came and stay at the hospital overnight with us as she didn't want to miss nothing. Progress was being made, epidural was in and was pain-free as well as oxygen mask was applied. Daddy and I try to sleep that night but couldn't as we were just ready for you.
Morning(September 5th, 2014) came around and still no sign of you but everything was going good. Doctor came in around 6 to check the status, and broke my water and said see you around 8 to have a baby. Visitors came in and out and my mom went to get breakfast for daddy. Great Grandma came and waited around, along with a few friends, and a cousin. 8am came around and still nothing yet and no signs of you coming out. We waited some more, than around noon everything went downhill doctor was call to come back, and nurses was coming in and out. I cried, daddy ask questions and come to find out your heart rate was gone, I was not in good shape, and nurses continue to come in and out (which freak us out because one to many at a time than normal). Doctor came and made a decision to go for a csection, but I didn't want that and try everything to prevent it but didn't work. Before going in for the csection still crying, along with everyone emotions was going high and I still was not ready as I was scared. Daddy kept calm and knew everything was going to be OK. The room was ready, daddy got ready, I was ready, and everyone form a circle around me as we all hold hands including our doctor and the nurses and grandma/great grandma said a beautiful prayer for you, daddy, and I along with our doctor and the nurses who was going to be involved in the csection. See baby boy we waited so long for you along with everyone else who loved us, and we just didn't want nothing happening to you nor me as we were ready to start this new journey as a family!
It was time I was rolled out of our room to the operating room, and daddy was right behind us and everyone else who was there stay in the waiting room. I kept asking for daddy once they got me settle down, and they were ready to start, than he was right by our side in no time. Daddy was there by our side, holding my head, I was nervous, tears coming down, and I said a pray.....
And at 2:09pm(September 5th) we had a boy, you! You didn't cried or anything but you were ok. I lay there and daddy went with you. They cleaned you, run test on you, and put something in your eyes and you didn't like that. Finally daddy came back to my side, and said great he has your toes...lol. After everything they handed you to daddy, and I was able to see you, couldn't hold you yet but they along with daddy put you next to me. I talked to you and we took a few pictures thanks to our nurses! Once you were out doctor had to take a few cyst out that were growing while I was pregnant with you, and we didn't want problems later on. They got you and the cyst out successfully!

I was clean up, back into a bed, they put you with me, and we were rolled out back to our room. Daddy was behind us and family was waiting to see you...they kept asking daddy where was the baby and I kept pointing that you were in my arms. Once we got settle into our room we had a few visitors that were there, and even late in the evening. No one could hold you just yet, nor really come near me as my blood pressure was high and I could have had a seize. When everybody left they took you to the nursery so daddy and I could sleep as it was a long day.
Next day you came into our room at 6am and we could not have been more excited to have you with us! Our journey had started we went from a family of 2 to three and we couldn't be happier. Thankful everything came out good for you and I.
After few days we were ready to take you home and start this new chapter in our lives!
Baby boy since having you it has been a joy. It was a crazy roller coaster that day, but it was so worth it and I will be forever thankful to God for you!
I love you my sweet baby boy!!
Mommy
