December 3, 2010 ~ Welcome Bella Gracelyn Emily Roman

Oh! How can I begin?  The day of Bella's birth was like any ordinary day.  I took the kids to school and went to work.  I was finishing up my morning classes when I felt something wet.  I went to the bathroom and decided the baby must be on my bladder.  I proceeded to go to lunch.  Then quickly after I ate I decided that this wet feeling was becoming more.  My friend/co-worker Liz urged me to go to the hospital just to be sure.  I was reluctant thinking how embarrassing it would be to go to the Hospital and the nurses say "oh sweetie you are wetting on yourself".  That was not at all the case I soon found out.  By the time I made it to the hospital I decided my water had to of  broke.  After a few minutes the nurses confirmed it and I was admitted in the hospital.  At that time I called Paul to come since I knew today was the day we would meet out baby girl.  Not to long later I got my epidural.  (below is a picture of me after my epidural)  Only two pushes later at 4:01 Bella was here!She weighed 5 pounds, 15 ounces, and 19.25 inches long.  It seemed like a dream everything was so easy.  It helped I didn't have to labor at night and hardly had any labor at all.  For a bit after they gave me pitocin I was a little uncomfortable but never in pain.  The whole experience was great and still is with my perfect little family of five.  I am truly blessed and feel complete.  God is Good!
