I am 20 years old and engaged to a very wonderful man. We were expecting our wonderful baby to be here July 8th, but he surprised us and decided to come early on July 1, 2008! I started having my contractions around 3:30 Monday afternoon and went to the hospital at 6:30 pm because I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was only dialated 3 1/2 cm and was 90% effaced. They told me I would be having my baby in the middle of the night. I was in a lot of pain until I was finally 4cm then I got my epidural which was a huge lifesaver. I began pushing around 4 am and finally had my baby boy at 4:46 am. It was such an amazing experience and I still can't believe he's finally here!

I helped to raise my nephew when I was 15 years old until I was 18 and moved away from home. It was a hard time but I am very grateful I had that experience now. I also worked at a daycare but I now stay at home and will continue to after I have my baby. I go to school for Early Childhood Development... I just love being around kids it's an amazing job.
