Evan and I found out we were pregnant in February 2008. We were so excited, but at the same time so scared to get our hopes up because the year before I had a miscarriage. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through. So I took a second test to be sure and it was then confirmed by the doctor's office. The pregnancy was great, I had no real serious problems...just the very often nosebleed, some pain in my "area", and terrible heart burn...38 weeks, Sept. 31, 2008...Evan and I went to bed as usual. Nothing was really different about that night, I was tired and Evan had to get up at 5 am for work. Well, I awake at 4 am and I feel like I am having somach cramps. I continued to lay there and wait for Evan to wake up cause I really didn't want to wake him up. My 'cramps' or contractions were about every 8-10 minutes. I was a little scared and Evan didn't believe me. Evan goes to work and I call my mama, she gets to my house about 6:30 am. I sleep off and on and we monitor my contractions, they were regular but not really consistant in frequency. I ended up heading to the hospital about 12 pm. The doctor thinks I am having false labor so he pushes fluids and makes me walk the halls. nothing helps...he tells me I can stay and try rest therapy or I can go home and try to rest. I was so upset cause i really didn't know what to do...i decide to go home because I was so hungry. We go to the sonic and to Amerigas and I am in labor for real. I'm in tears cause it hurts so bad. When I return to the hospital i tell them i want to do rest therapy because i was so exhausted and couldn't sleep. That worked for a few hours. then more meds and an epidural later i had my beautiful son, Cole Early Taylor at 6:38 am. I was in labor for 26 hours. It was very tiring on my body and because of the extended labor I had postpartum hemmorhage. I lost almost 2 liters of blood, but things were controlled. It was the hardest thing I have ever done but it was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I thank God every night for my beautiful, sweet angel. Every woman should experience child birth and being a mother. It's wonderful!!

I had a very scary delivery...had to have an emergency c-section because Mason's heartrate kept dropping. It was also the scariest, but most magical experience of my life. I am so glad there are so many babies in Northampton County now! Our kids will have lots of friends!
