December 7th, 2008 the day we will never forget...................I finally went into labor around 2:30 a.m. Jake was a little nervous but kept it together while me on the other hand was having contractions every 2 minutes so driving over to Timpanogoes was an adventure. We got to the hospital around three and I was dialated already to a 4 the epidural was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but unfortunately it stopped working about three hours later ( not the funniest time in a womens life) but everything worked out. My doctor was actually out of town and so I had a mid-wife deliever her, I was a little scared cause you think of mid-wife and natural birth at home delievery, just different I guess well I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this mid-wife I had, she was so awesome (Heather Johnson) at Aspen's Women Center in Provo. So now that we have our little girl here all is well, the lack of sleep is starting to take full effect but its just part of being a new mother and father. I want to thank everyone that has helped us out, our parents and friends and my loving husband .....................Love ya
