Well I already did first kiss on my post about part 2 of how Scott and I met and everything. That's the first that comes to mind. What's another first.....I guess an important one would be my first (and only right now) baby. Scott and I were so excited when we found out I was pregnant. I had been very frustrated but knew at the right time it'd happen. It wasn't the most difficult pregnancy. I wasn't super sick. I did have issues with my sciatic but I do normally.... it just was a little worse with where Charlotte sat. My tailbone was pretty bad at some points but that's what happens when you spend 1 1/2 driving then 8-10 hrs in a chair most of the day. So I was in pain but it could've been worse. Labor wasn't too bad either. It lasted a lot longer than the dr and me had planned but once my body finally decided to let pitocin do its job I was good to go....well almost good to go. It took me an hour and half to push. I was told about some women who spent 3 hrs pushing so I can't imagine that. I was so tired as it was. They had started me at about 10pm the night before and I didn't start pushing until 7pm. I literally was fighting to keep my eyes open. I just wanted to fall asleep and could've had they not been talking to me and forcing me to stay awake. I was sooooo tired. I had some issues with my epidural so I was able to feel a little more than I hoped. It had started wearing off because they were having issues with the machine and it wouldn't give me regular doses the last bit. Lets just say I know what they mean when they talk about "the ring of fire." What a relief when my sweet little baby came out. It just didn't seem real. I could easily do the pregnancy and delivery all over again. It's the taking care of them afterwards that is more difficult. So we may be waiting a bit. Charlotte can be a handful and she's really good at letting you know when she's not happy :) But she is a sweetie and is such a blessing in our lives. We're so thankful she is in our family and love her like crazy. We are excited to have more kids someday but the timing doesn't feel right yet. Oh and here's a pic of when I had my little sweetie. Such an exciting moment!
As far as what's in my purse... answered that on Day 12 if you care to go back and read that post... nothing exciting... just a bunch of stuff.
