Here's the story:
The due date passed without any sign of Aiden. Due dates are such a tease... we anticipate this one day for months, and rarely do I hear of any babies being born right on the due date. We went to the doctor's office that Monday for a regular check up and that night, the contractions started. After hanging around at the house for hours, we went to the office that morning and was told I had dilated from 2 to 4 cm overnight. Time to go to the hospital!
Now, I may be a bit biased since I worked at Rex, but the experience was fantastic! My labor and delivery nurse Helen was wonderful! The worst part was getting my epidural thanks to my curvy spine, but after 36 minutes of pushing, Aiden was born! What an overwhelming feeling... Albert and I were both in awe.
So now we begin our journey as parents. Aiden is now going on 2 weeks old, and I don't think I've ever been as sleep deprived as I have been these past 2 weeks. Not only am I walking around like a zombie, I also feel like a walking milk factory. It's all worth it. We learn something new about our son every day and are so excited to start this crazy journey.
