Lily's 2nd Birthday

Well, Lily is 2!!! I can't believe how time has just flown by. Lily turned 2 on March 10th. Two years ago I had gone into labor about midnight on Sunday. Now that I think about it I believe I was having contractions starting the previous Thursday. I just thought I had gas...lol. Well, that weekend we worked in the yard and I cleaned my house. We had taco salad for dinner and about midnight I woke up with the worse pain in the world. Well, I thought I was just constipated or had really bad gas. Either way I did everything the doctor told me to do, try and eat something, lay a different way, walk around, take a shower, etc. Well about 330am I could not handle the pain anymore so I told Kane we needed to go because the pain just would not stop. So, we got dress I called my long-term sub and we went to the hospital. When we got there I told the nurse that I was either in labor or I was constipated, either way you are going to do something for the pain!!! So, they took me back and examined me and the nurse was like "No you are not constipated, you are in labor and you are 5cm!!!" That was at about 5:00 that morning. So, we get to the room and they start all the paperwork and examining all the necessary stuff they have to do!! Well, they thought Lily was breach...so they kept checking me, well while they are checking me I thought I pee on the lady...I could feel my face get red:p Well, she looks at me and says "Your water just broke and you are now 6cm." So within like 30 min I had already dilated 1cm. So, I thought this is good, I can handle this it hasnt been too bad...I was still talking and walking and texting during all of this...well...then it hit me like a ton of bricks!!! Within 30 mins I was asking for some meds...well I finally gave in and said I wanted the epidural...I was dead set on not having one...the whole idea of having a needle in my back I did not like...well after they did that they checked me again and I was 8cm...well that explains the pain!!!! So, neways life was better and Lily was moving right along!!! I practiced pushing off and on for about 6 hours...Lily was still way tooo high, that's why they thought she was breach, and when it was finally time to go...I did three good pushes and Lily was born at 1:08pm!!! She was 6lbs 13oz and 19 1/2 inches long!!! My life has not been the same since that moment. Lily has grown so much this past year. She now is trying to go potty, she can count to 10 with help, she loves to sing and dance, she knows her colors and shapes, all of her body parts, she can make a few three word sentences, she has a sassy attitude, loves to shop of shoes and clothes and most of all loves to give big hugs and kisses!!! I know many of yall are thinking some of that is just TMI about her birth, but I have never just sat down and blogged about her birth. I think I did on MySpace when she was first born, but who checks MySpace anymore:P I just wanted to finally write down somewhere about her birth. I thought alot about her birth on her birthday and I guess all parents do...but I enjoyed every minute of her birth (even the pain) and don't ever want to forget it!!! Okay, I am done with the mushy stuff:)

So, this year for Lily's birthday we did a Yo Gabba Gabba theme. She aboustely loves that show!!! I even made her Brobee cake. It was a beautiful Saturday for a birthday party. All of my family and friends came to celebrate her birthday!!! It was a great day with some yummy brisket and chicken that Kane smoked!!!
