Happy Birthday Makayla!

It was 11 years ago today that I thought I had the flu. I had made it to my due date and even added 2 days while waiting for this little baby. We did not know her gender but I knew it was a little girl! Kelly went to work with me laying in bed with the "flu". I called the Dr when they opened and she told me to go ahead to the hospital and get checked to make sure. I mentioned that I have no contractions just sick. Kelly came home after a few hours of work and we went to the hospital. Not showing any signs of labor I was asked if I had the flu, and I told her yes but the Dr wanted me to come anyway. They checked me and I was dialated to a 4+ and contractions were just a minute and a half apart. I felt nothing other then sickness! I was checked into the hospital and 6 hours later we began the pushing process. Makayla ended up breaking my tailbone and the epidural was not helping with that pain! It was 20 minutes into the pushing that I was told only 30 more minutes and she would be here. I said, NO NOW! Makayla Dawn was born just 1 minute later! No one was ready for her except myself. The Dr ran to Sharon (Kelly's Sister) to have her take the Dr watch off and buzzing for the baby nurses to get there stat. She made a memorable moment coming into the world and had not changed that at all in the past 11 years. She is a super daughter and a great big sister. I love her so much. She is the one that made me a mother!
