5 years ago today 4-11-03, I woke up at 5am to get ready for school just like any other day. While I was getting ready I had my "bloody show", so I went to tell my mom just because I thought it was gross, "your not going to school today" My mom told me "your going to have that baby" So I went back to sleep. My mom woke me up around 9am and told me to go take a shower, she wanted me to go to the hospital to get checked. I got to the hospital around 10am and was hooked up to monitors, even tho I was having some mild contractions that were timable, they were about 8 minutes apart and my cervix didnt dialate past 2cms. They sent me home and told me to come back when my contractions were consistantly 5 minutes apart. At 1pm I went home.

But before going home I made my dad take me for McDonalds. I went home and called her "father", he said he was going to take the bus up and would arrive around 8pm. I remember being in the car driving to go pick him up at the bus station and timing my contractions on the clock. At 8 pm they were 5 mins apart. For some reason I felt the need to not tell my mom, I sat on the couch with Justin for awhile first. I guess I started showing alot of pain in my face so my mom asked me how far apart they were. At this point they were about every 3 minutes apart. At 10pm we checked into the hospital.

I was 4cm dialated and my doctor broke my water. I immediately dialated to 5. Since I didnt want the epidural I was still allowed to walk around. The next parts are a bit blurry for me, I guess it was around midnight or 1 my doctor asked  me if i wanted some medication in my IV to help me sleep, I said yes since I was so exhausted. Big mistake. It made me sleep but didnt take away the pain, so i would be knocked out between contractions but would wake up with the pain, the last few hours felt like one big contraction. During my last few contractions I started getting really nasty and my mom said she thought it was "time".

So my doctor came in to check me, and it was time. It was 5:42am April 12th. I started pushing and since the meds were still in my system I was so drowsy and so tired I felt like I just physically could not push, but somehow I managed to push her out in just 20 minutes.

At 6:02am April 12, 2003 weighing 6lbs 9oz and 18 inches long, my beautiful babygirl Tatyana Renee was born. I just remember everyone runmning from me over to her and shouting back to me how beautiful she was. And she was, the most beautiful person I ever laid eyes on.

For the next few months if her eyes were open her mouth was open too. I can't believe this was all 5 years ago, It doesnt seem possible...
