Matthew and I couldn't be any more in love with our little princess. She stole our hearts from the instant we laid eyes on her. Making her debut appearance just 1 day after our wedding anniversary, and sharing her birthday with her Uncle Erik. October 2nd started just like any other day. I had my weekly doctor appointment and dinner plans with friends to celebrate our anniversary and our friend Kelsey's birthday. It was a typical day at work and as any other day I prepared my desk just incase I wouldn't return. Never did I think that it would be my last day for the next 12 weeks as her due date wasn't for another 10 days. I really wasn't feeling myself during dinner. I was exhausted and my back was sore, and just plain old didn't feel well. Thinking I just over did myself that day I convinced Matt that we didn't need to go to the Hospital and I wasn't in labor. After being home for not even an hour my water broke at 10pm. I woke Matt up to tell him it was time and he jumped off the couch and started gathering our bags. I don't know if it was my nerves or what but Matt running around getting stuff together I couldn't help but laugh. He's asking for help and I'm just standing there laughing at him. Needless to say he didn't find anything funny at that moment. 

We made it to the Hospital by 10:30pm. The staff was quick and got me into a room and by 11pm I had my epidural and I was comfortable and ready to sleep. Just 6 hours later I was ready to push. I spiked a temperature which indicated an infection so they started me on antibiotics and told me Sophia would head to special care after she was born for monitoring and antibiotics. After 3 hours of pushing in for a c-section we went. As much as I didn't want a c-section my doctor was there to assure us that everything would be just fine. After being rolled into the operating room it wasn't much longer before we had our princess.
