I had been up since Tuesday morning preparing to have a baby. On that Tuesday night 6 years ago I went about my day packing my bags for the hospital. I went to school that evening and then showed up at the hospital to be induced. My mom said, "Kristin, you created such a wonderful environment for him for the last 9 months and that is why he doesn't want to come!" As many of you know, I didn't have him that Tuesday night. I was sent home discouraged, sad, and tired from being up all night. Upon arriving home on Wednesday morning with all of my bags, I cried some, tried to keep busy, had some dinner, and took a walk. At this very moment, 10pm (or so) exactly 6 years ago it was a Wednesday night like tonight. I finally let my head hit the pillow. I was exhausted! I should have taken a nap. Why did I stay up all day? I have been awake for 36 hours or more and I need to sleep. That is when it happened. Six years ago tonight is when I felt my very first contraction. This was it, this was the real thing. This is not what I felt the night before at the hospital. Abel raced us to the hospital because the contractions were strong and were getting closer. Labor was intense because of the induction maybe? I thought it would be fast. Gianni still decided that he would stand his ground, either that or my mind would just not let it happen because I was so scared. What is wrong with me? Why can't he just come? I am so tired! Finally, around 5pm on Thursday the mention of c-section was whispered and it was a best words I had heard since waking up that Tuesday morning. Gianni was born at 5:36pm on Thursday, June 16th 2005. Being up for over 48 hours was worth it! He was perfect and still is my little baby boy.
Tonight we celebrated his birthday a day early. We are taking Gianni and Sydney to Legoland and the beach for their birthday and our cake represented our trip!
