I’m incredibly blessed and grateful for my beautiful healthy baby boy but I wish I was a little more patient. Being 9 months pregnant was uncomfortable but it was such a fulfilling way to live, and I wish I didn’t rush it and want baby out early.

I convinced hubby to have sex and that evening I went into the most excruciating labor, with contractions 5 minutes apart for four hours. I was scheduled for a repeat c section so after a 45 min drive to the hospital and being told I was dilated enough, I went in for an emergency c section.

It was scary and so,so painful but I’m so thankful.
