Today is Josiah's 8th birthday! I really can't believe it's already been 8 years since I had my little man. The time really does go by fast. He has been such a blessing to our lives and I'm so thankful for the 8 years I've had him and pray we have the rest of our lives with him. :)
Josiah was my hardest labor. The doctor induced me on March 21st at 6am. By noon nothing had happened. The doctor decided to break my water to get things going. The only thing that did was bring on strong labor pains but barely any progress. By 7pm that night I was still barely a 2 and begging for pain medication. My pains were as strong at this point as they were with my other 2 babies at the end right before you push. The doctor finally let me have an epidural; he wouldn't all day because he said it could stop labor. So finally, after a hard day of labor and no progress I got my medication. With in minutes I was relieved. After everyone left, except one nurse, she told me she was going to stretch me to a 5 to get me going. So that she did. I've never heard of this before, so if anyone else has, let me know! Well, that worked. By midnight I was fully dilated and ready to push. After one hour and 9 minutes of pushing I finally gave birth to Josiah, Jeff and my first son. A 7 pound 10 ounce baby boy! Jeff wasn't there for our first baby being born which made it very hard for me but we soon had daddy home with us and started our lives together.
Now here we are in Georgia and Josiah has turned 8. For his party this year he wanted to go skating. Saturday night we took him skating with all his classmates and boy did he have fun! It was his first time to skate so he fell about 20 times, he said. :) I think it may have been more! Tonight I told him he could pick where we eat for dinner. He thought for a few seconds and then yelled out McDonalds!
