Porter's Here

On Sunday night at around 9:30pm I kissed Seth goodnight and headed upstairs to go to bed. Seth came up around 11:00pm gave me a kiss and back to sleep I went but not for long. Around 11:15pm I was woken up by what I thought was a kick and then my water broke. Seth and I got our things together and headed to the hospital. They checked me when I got there and I was at 3cm. At 3:30am I couldn't take the pain anymore so I got an epidural. Seth and I took a nap for a little bit and at 7:30 the doctor came in checked me and said alright let's start pushing. I couldn't believe it. I pushed for about 30 minutes and at 8:03am our precious baby boy came out. This experience has been nothing but wonderful. Seth and I are so happy and so blessed to have Porter here with us. This is what life is all about.
