Welcome baby Chris 3 weeks early!!!!

What!!? Momma is having baby already!? Yay! Mom was feeling a little bit of liquid leaking on Thursday for the past few days but she wasn't sure what is was so finally she picks up the phone and calls the doctor's office which was closed at 6:30 p.m. so the operator had to page the doctor on call to call me back. Doc calls back and hears the story and tells me I'm "a naughty girl, but we'll be nice since it 's your first, come on in to labor and delivery!" Oh my god! Was I going to have this baby tonight? I call Chris to get him out of class and he was like what!? It was so exciting! We didn't have a bag packed!

We venture out to the hospital with my close friend Beth directly behind us and as we drive up there Chris and I just keep telling each other this is just a false alarm. There is no way we could be having this baby right now! Oops.....guess we were wrong!

We get there and they start running some tests, the liquid tested negative as amniotic fluid but as the doc did the ultrasound she said my placenta looked a little old. Way to make a mom feel good doc!!! Lol. anyway there was plenty of fluid around his head so they decided to just keep me there and watch his heartbeat for 30 mins. About 45 go by and the nurse comes in with an iv, she says we gonna hook you up to an iv .....just in case. About another half hour goes by. Nurse comes in.....we're gonna hook you up to some anitbiotics just in case. Another probably I don't even know goes by....its about 12:30 at night and the doc and nurse come in and tell me "we're gonna have baby right now okay?" Okay? Okay? Hell yeah!!! It brings tears to my eyes just writing this right now!!

They then broke my water and came in about 1:30a.m. to insert the hormones to induce. It's then they tell me it will take about 12 to 14 hours before I start having baby. WRONG!! Mommy wanted baby out and baby wanted out!!! I was ready to go fully dilated at 6:30a.m. and had baby Chris at 7:59! Okay we have a lot to do to get him registered today and he's got his first doc visit on base so I'll have to write more later! Love ya'll!!!

1st diaper change!

1st bath! He looks just like his daddy! What kind of filipino girl delivers a blond haired blue eyed baby? Lol!! He's even got his daddy's curly hair!



Mommy and Baby Chris!! Isn't he adorable!?
I Love Him So Much!!!
