It was 5:15 a.m. I had to go to the bathroom again, so I got up and went. I was just lying down when I felt the urge to pee AGAIN, so I got up again and went to the bathroom. I had been sitting on the toilet for about 20 seconds when I realized that I was peeing for a long time. I tried to stop it but I couldn't. I called my sister-in-law to the bathroom and asked her what was going on and she said that it sounded like my water had broken.

While she went and woke up my son's father I sat there for a little longer to let the rest of it come out. After a few minutes my son's father, Nick, came into the bathroom and asked me if I could go sit in the living room. I asked him why and he said that he needed to take a shower before we went so he could wake up all the way. I started to yell at him and he stopped me and said that it was going to take a while since it was my first child. So I calmly sat on the couch waiting for him to finish.

At about 5:45 a.m. we were off to the hospital. When we got settled into our room I asked the nurse if the doctor could come in and check me to see where I was at because I was having a lot of pain. When he came in and checked he said I was at 2 centimeters dilated so I had to wait for the epidural.

About 14 hours later I was finally far enough to get it. But that did slow down the contractions so they had to induce.

At about the 20-hour mark the doctor said it was time to push. After a few hours of that the doctor said that the baby was turned sideways so I had to push while the doctor turned him slowly. When the baby was turned the right way I had to push some more. When the 24-hour mark came the doctor said that I need to push this kid out or they were going to have to do a Cesarean section. So I tried my hardest when finally the doctor said that he was going to help me. So he had to pull the baby out with forceps. My son was finally born at 7:40 a.m. He was 8 pounds, 10 ounces and 20 inches long. He had a bruised head but he was a healthy little boy. We named him Jayden Micheal.
