How shelby came in to this world

A year ago on this very day this is how my whole world changed. God sent me a little girl to love forever.


About 4 am that morning I got up to go to the bathroom and had some really bad contractions. I got on line and was trying to time them but it hurt so back in my back I couldn't sit for long. So I got up and got my mom up to rub my back with my little back massager she had bought for me. She asked what the pains felt like and when I told her she decided to start timing them. Well they were coming two to three min tunes apart with no break in between. I was lying on the floor of my living room in tears. Screaming in pain from how bad they hurt.
So my Grandma went to get Kyle up out of bed to come be with me. He touched my back and I looked at him and told him "not to $%^&*(@ touch me." I was in pain because of him. My mom thought I was going to do bodaly harm to him.lol. So we get ready to go to the hosptail and it took me ten mintunes to get to the front door and out to my truck to leave. Do to all the contractions and pain. We went by my MIL and picked her up on the way.
Kyle tryed not to hit the bumps that he had tryed so hard not to miss befor. And everytime he did he would almost lose his fingers because I was griping his hand so hard.
We live about 45 mintunes from my hosptail so we had called them to let them know we would be there in 45 mintunes and needed a bed. They said ok. So we had a room waiting for me when I got there.
When they got me back to my room they checked me. I was 7 cm's ( 6:30 in the morning) I got my epidual not long after that.it hurt at first but after a little while I was great. Until the Shaking started. I was shaking like I was have secures of some kind. It went really quick from there. I did infact speak to jessica at 10 cm. She wasn't just making it up. I almost dropped the phone because I was shaking so bad.
I felt my water break and called the nurse to come in. She came in and said that my water had a leak in it and had not fully broken. Shelby had moved her head to cork it . So the doctor came in a poped it with her fingers.
I am sitting there waitng for all the great pressure that you get befor you can push and the nurse come in and says that I have a lady out side calming to be my aunt mandy and wants to come in. So out of the blue my aunt mandy shows up to be part of the birht. She is my aunt that makes plans to do things and never shows up. But she was there so we let her be part of it..
But they said that the baby was almost crowing and wanted to wait a little while for the baby to come down more on her own. So I am sitting her waiting on that I felt this god awful pain down there and the nurse said ok it is time to start pushing again . Well when the hair on her head became visible the nurse tells me that she can see hair and lots of it.
She had me push one more time and then she was like a inch from coming out. And she runs out of the room to get the doctor and she had just enough time to get back and have me push again and at 12:55pm Shelby Joyce Cox was born. I was pooped on as soon as she was put on my tummy. LOL guess that is what she thought about her first look at the world.
I was told that the umbillical cord was twice the normal size and so was the placenta. She asked if I had been told that it was twins. And I said no but I had thought it was in the beginning. Due to the fact that I had a misscarriage and then I find out that I was 7 weeks pregant; so I was pregant with twins and lost one in the early stages and just never got my horomones back together after that.
Well I just wanted to say who all was in the room with me befor I forget, My dear Husband Kyle, His mom Venita, My mom Kathy, My aunt Mandy and My wonderful nurse Shirely. I couldn't have done it without all of them there to help me. Thanks guys!!!!!
Well I spent 4 hours in the L&D room after she was born because of my Blood Pressure was doing werid stuff; So when I finally got to go to my other room she had her first birth which she didn't like at all. She tryed to breastfeed for the first time and it went ok but I didn't have much milk yet.
I was in labor for From 4:30 am to 12:55 pm so that is 8 hours and 25 mintunes; But it was the best thing in the world. I felt so much better after all the swelling went down. Now I feel great.
