Thanks for being there mom! She is a trooper she stayed awake with me the whole time! Not to mention she is a great pushing coach!:)

On January 22nd we went to the doctor's around 8:45 I was still at a three. He striped my membranes again. He said wow this little boy has a lot of hair! I couldn't believe he could actually feel his head. He then goes on to tell us he was leaving town tomorrow and we needed to get this baby here today haha We laughed because we both knew I'd been trying anything and everything to get him to come out for weeks. He says go home have sex(sorry but that's what he said) and then go for a long walk and if you feel anything go in. I tried not to get my hopes up but I couldn't help but be so excited. So we went for a run down the all too famous hill I went hopping, skipping and running down everyday. Then went and walked around the temple for about an hour I started to feel a few contractions nothing too big but he said if I felt anything go in. We walked over to the hospital at one and I've never pretended to be so brave and I thought for sure they were going to send me home. They got me all hooked up to the machines the nurse checked me I was still at a three and I was having contractions just not too close together the they called Doctor Thompson he was there delivering another baby so he came in and checked me almost a four so they told me they were going to watch me for an hour and then go from there. My contractions got really close about three minutes apart! A miracle happened!!;) The nurse had me walk around the halls for an hour it was so hard to walk but we did it and they decided to keep me at four o clock. I called my mom told her they were keeping me so her, my dad and sisters headed down. The nurse put my i.v. in I was so nervous I hate getting them! They had to poke me twice:( They broke my water at 5 I went as long as I could go without getting the epidural. I finally decided I couldn't take it anymore and asked for the epidural. My mom made it around eight I can't tell you how happy I was to see her!! They told us he'd be a midnight baby so knowing just a few more hours our sweet baby boy be there made me so happy! Well three different nurses later, epidural machine batteries going dead, feeling everything again, 20 hours of being in labor, only twenty minutes of pushing our baby Connly made his way into this world!!! BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD! I love being a mom! We love Connly more than anything and love that we get to be his parents! Life couldn't be better!
