The Big Day

Mike "I'm taking you into the emergency room!"
Me "noooo I'm in pain bc I'm uncomfortable, I'm gonna run a bath and I will be fine" 
 I realized as I was running the bath water that this could be the day. The pain got unbearable I turned the water off and screamed for Mike. He came running upstairs and I said "GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL!!!" 

Mike, Dylan and I went to the ER. At this point I couldn't even walk so Mike got a wheel chair for me. 
The nurse hooked me up to monitors, asked me a million questions then checked me. My doctor came in and told me I was dilated to 2 and needed to be at a 5 for them to admit me. The more we talked the closer my contractions got, the doctor looked at my monitor for my contractions and said let me take a look, so she checked me.(10 minutes after the nurse checked me) The doctor said your baby is ready to come out, you are at a 5. Lets get you to the delivery room. I looked at Mike like "OH SHIT THIS IS GOING TO HURT!" 
I told mike to bring our 5 yr old to our friends house. My 5 year old squealed with excitement as he knew he was going to be a big brother very soon! 
The nurse and I walked down the hall which seemed like the LONGEST hall EVER! I had to stop for several contractions.I did everything in my power to not scream in the hallway I was in so much pain. I told my nurse when we got to the room I had to go to the bathroom. She told me if I had the urge to push, DON'T push. I tried to go to the bathroom but I couldn't. I was pacing around the room waiting for my doctor.I started having this urge to push so  I screamed for my nurse and said " I HAVE TO PUSH!!!!!" 
She called the doctor in, told me to lay down. At that point Mike walked in the door. As the doctor checked me she said "Your at a 10 lets HAVE THIS BABY!!!" Sooo many emotions running through my head. My delivery was going so quickly the nurse didn't have anything ready so when I began to push she was putting an iv in my hand. The pain was so unbearable but drugs was not an option bc my baby was ready to come OUT! 
If you have delivered a baby you know this is the part where your nurse and doctor turn into cheerleaders! "Your doing GREAT." "Another big push, your doing awesome Stacy" "Don't forget to breathe, your doing excellent here's his head" 
It took 2 great big pushes and out was our baby boy in less then an hour. I held my baby and cried thinking " I DID IT, HES PERFECT!"
