She is here! Our beautiful blessing from God, Raegan Chloe. She is something that I would never image. Who knew that God could make something so beautiful. Labor and everything was nothing that I thought it would be. And if it wasn’t for God giving me strength I don’t think I would have made it. God also gave me my husband, Jon, who was an amazing coach. The nurses told me that after she was born that we did an amazing job on breathing and focusing on the getting through and that is why they left us alone so much. To be honest I don’t think I would have done so well if it wasn’t for him. I do know that I was giving up and I wanted to have some drugs but Jon kept reminding me that I didn’t want that and that I can do it since I was already so far. I do remember at one point right when the nurse broke my water that Jon and my dad both started to cry becuase I was so upset and didn’t want to be in labor anymore and I kept trying to sleep between contractions. After a few tears fell from his eyes as he was setting in a chair by the bed he made me look at him and rubbed my arm and made me breath with him for the last two centimeters of labor before pushing. In my head during those last few I just kept telling him I loved him in my head because I couldn’t say it while trying to breath….I’m very blessed and thankful for my husband. After pushing for I think 30 minutes I was then blessed again from a long 9 month journey with a healthy baby girl. She was so beautiful! The whole experience I can’t explain. And the days in the hospital and then finding out that she had Jaudice was another experience. It’s like I’m on a rollercoaster of emotions right now….I’m scared, nervous, happy, sad, excited, joyous, very sleepy, and so much more all at the same time. I do know that God is giving me strength each day and is showing me every step of what to do through the family members around me. I am very thankful for the position of where Jon and I are in our lives to be raising Raegan. Well I think this is enough for now and plus she should be waking up soon. Tomorrow she will be a week old and everyday she is growing more and more. She will be waking up soon and also we have a trip to the doctor already to get the final word on her Jaudice. Thanks for the prayers and for my final words….Through God anything is possible and He will give you strength.
