OUR LIVES HAVE CHANGED SO DRASTICALLY OVER THE PAST 23 MONTHS STARTING FROM THE MOMENT WE FOUND OUT WE WERE PREGNANT.

MAY 1 2008- I WOKE UP AT 5 AM SO I COULD TAKE A EPT TEST. IT READ PREGNANT IN BIG BOLD LETTERS..I STARED AT IT IN DISBELIEF, SHOCK, AND TOTAL HAPPINESS IT HAD FINALY HAPPEND. I IMEDIATELY STARTED SCREAMING DAVE, DAVE, DAVE...AND ALL I HEARD WAS I TOLD YOU SO!!!! YES HE'S THE REASON WHY I TESTED. HE TOLD ME I WAS PREGNANT. SO THE JOURNEY TO PARENTHOOD BEGAN. DOCTOR APT'S EVERY MONTH AND THE MONTHS PASSED BY. I COULDNT WAIT FOR MY DUE DATE..JAN 5TH 2009...IT CAME AND WENT AND I WAS STILL PREGNANT. SHE WAS HAPPY AND COZY AND DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE.

JAN 9 2009- I WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR WHAT WOULD BE MY FINAL APT. I HAD AN ULTRASOUND DONE AND THE TECH SAID SHE'S STILL COZY AND HAPPY. I WENT HOME AND DELIVERED THE NEWS TO MY BFF ASHLEY AND MY MOM. I WENT POTTY AND THE PROCESS HAD BEGUN. I RAN OUT EXCITED AND SCREAMED I'LL BE GOING INTO LABOR WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

JAN 10 2009- CONTRACTIONS STARTED JUST AROUND 4 AM. AT 6 AM THEY WERE GETTIN STRONGER AND STRONGER. I GOT UP TOOK A SHOWER AND THEY EASED. I LAYED BACK DOWN AND BY 10 AM DAVE AND I WERE OFF TO THE HOSPITAL. WE GOT THERE AND YES I WAS IN LABOR BUT I WASNT DIALATING. THE HOSPITAL OPTED TO KEEP ME AND I STAYED AND WALKED THE HOSPITAL FLOORS. BY THE TIME I GOT A ROOM I STILL WASNT DIALATED. CONTRACTIONS WERE COMING ON STRONG. MY WATER BROKE WITH A STRONG CONTRACTION JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT STILL ONLY DIALATED 2 CM.

JAN 11 2009- IT HAD BEEN 12 HOURS SINCE MY WATER HAD BROKE AND WE WERE STARTING TO WORRY. I GOT PITOCIN TO FORCE DIALATION..AND 1:25 PM LITTLE REBECKA KAYLIN NICHOLS WAS BORN. SHE WEIGHED 7 LBS 9 OZ AND WAS 21 INCHES LONG. A BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY LITTLE GIRL.

BECKY IS NOW 14 MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR SINCE MY HEART MELT THAT FIRST DAY I HELD HER. SURE THERES BEEN SOME HARD TIMES, FROM COLIC TO ILLNESS'S AND ER TRIPS BECAUSE SHE FELL AND HIT HER HEAD. I WOULD NOT TRADE MOTHERHOOD FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE ON THIS PLANET. BECKY HAS REMAINED OUR LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY. MORE AND MORE EACH DAY SHE BECOMES DADDYS LITTLE GIRL AND MOMMY LITTLE ANGEL. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES THAT WILL MELT ANY HEART. A SMILE THAT WILL BRIGHTEN ANYONES DAY AND A LAUGH THAT IS SO CONTAGIOUS. HER FAVORIT WORD RIGHT NOW IS GO DA DA GO. EVERY ANIMAL RIGHT NOW IS A DOG. HER FAVORIT SHOW IS THE FRESH BEAT BAND ON NICK JR. SHE LOVES TO READ STORIES, AND SHE LOVES THE PARK!!! OUR LIVES ARE PERFECT BECAUSE SHE'S HERE. SHE'S THE CENTER OF HER PARENTS UNIVERSE AND WE COULDNT BE PROUDER. LAST NIGHT SHE USED A SPOON TO EAT WITH FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. I AM A VERY PROUD MOMMY. 9:42:00 AM by Nichols3 Delete
