My baby boy's birthday.
What a special day.
We checked into the hospital the night before (April 11th) at 8:00 but by the time they got me all hooked up it was about 10:00 pm. That was a long, sleepless night. How could I sleep?? Never mind that I was super uncomfortable and the nurse came in every 10 minutes to adjust the monitors that the baby kept kicking off my tummy, but I was going to meet my son the next day and could have exploded from excitement and nervousness.
To make a long story short, once morning came I started progressing pretty quickly. The doctor manually broke my water (strangest. feeling. ever.), I immediately requested my epidural and after only one extremely painful contraction the drugs kicked in and I was feeling gooood. Thank heavens for modern day medicine!!
After 7 1/2 hours of "active labor", and 2 hours of pushing (yikes!) I heard the beautiful cries of my precious baby boy.

Joy, relief, excitement, peace, beauty, spiritual, pride, love, pure happiness. There are not enough words to describe that moment. It's an absolute miracle. A little piece of heaven right there in that hospital room.

>>>A HUGE thanks to my wonderful Mom for taking 10 days from her busy life to come be with me. I'm so glad she got to be there for the birth of my son and that he got to meet her on his very first day of life. I am so blessed to have her as my mom.<<<

Needless to say, Nick and I are beyond obsessed with this precious babe. Our world quickly started to revolve around him and we realized that our lives and hearts would never be the same.
Thank you for joining our family Beau Nicholas Anderson.
We love you with all of our hearts.
