Well on January, 22nd, at 8:47pm Addison, Elizabeth, Brett was brought into this world, and we couldn’t be happier! I can’t believe how in love I am with this beautiful little angel. Two years we have tried to bring new life into this household, and finally our family is complete. I truly believe that with everything we went through to get to this far, it was to recognize how special this little girl would be to us.

The morning of January, 22nd the hospital called and asked us to be there at 4pm. As soon as I had a time, it was really hard for me to hold back the tears. I actually waited about a half hour before I told Matt because I didn’t think I could tell him without having a preggo moment. I needed to pass time so I decided to go for a nap. Soon after I woke up Matt had told me the hospital called and asked us to come in later then was planned. I was disappointed but what could I do. Soon enough the phone rang again and the hospital asked us to come in at 3:30pm, that was in 40 min! We rushed around and packed the car, and off we went.

Once at the hospital the nurses were super sweet and gave me an ultrasound to make sure she was still breech, if she was we would continue with the c-section. Little Addison was still in her stubborn place, nice and breech. To be honest I was thrilled because it meant she would be born today!!!! If not I would have been sent home, and after all that build up it would have been disappointing.

Well it was IV time, I was dreading this moment, because I heard it hurt. Matt had reassured me that it wouldn’t hurt to bad, and I really shouldn’t worry about it. Well the nurse who put my IV seemed to be having a very hard time. After she inserted the needle part she forgot to cut off the blood supply while she hooked up the hose part, and I started bleeding everywhere. She apologized and I was ok with it. She finished the IV and told me to rest my hand. As soon as I put my hand down, the hose fell out and I was bleeding everywhere again, not cool. Anyways I asked another nurse what was in the IV bag, because I tasted something funny in my mouth, and my hearing and sight was beginning to fade, I wanted to know what was happening to me. Apparently the not eating for 12 hours and losing blood, I was just about to pass out. A few deep breaths I was back! So that “don’t worry” about the IV thing turned out to SUCK huge haha.

After the IV fiasco we ended up being pushed back with a few emergency c-sections until 8pm. Once the nurse came in to get me, Matt and I kissed and I walked away to have our baby. Soon after I was on the table, waiting for Matt to come hold my hand. I can’t believe how long it seemed. When he came in the operating room in his scrubs, I started to tear up. This was really happening, our daughter would be here any moment.

The doctors were talking amongst themselves, and Matt was holding my hand nice and tight. I was being pulled, and the sensation of everything happening just made me feel so strange, I was happy, scared, and I just shut my eyes. Matt told me she was here, our little girl was here! The whole time I was crying and he wiped my tears away for me. For the first time when we heard her cry, I saw Matt cry, and of course it made me cry even more, awww we had our baby, finally she was here.

At 8:47pm Addison, Elizabeth, Brett was born 5lbs, 15oz and the most beautiful thing I saw since my daughter Hannah was born 9 1/2 years ago. It seemed like forever, I just wanted to see my daughter, I sent Matt over to her, to take a picture. He returned with the cutest picture I have ever seen. Finally he was able to bring her to me. I just wanted to hold her and kiss her. I unbound my own arm, and touched her, then took a picture of Matt and Addison.

Soon enough we were back in recovery, and we were met by our daughter Hannah. How big did she look! This was a great day, all of us were finally together!
