I was 28 when I got married. Jamie and I were both ready for children. I think we got pregnant the day we started trying. I loved being pregnant (except the constant sickness for the first 3 months ~ I actually lost 10 pounds). I especially loved the delivery. I always hear women complain about the delivery process but I think the delivery experience is wonderful!! I went in on a Thursday night to be induced they gave me medication to ripen my cervix and Saturday morning they were going to start the meds to start my labor but it started on it's own an hour before I was scheduled. When it was time for the epidural the anesthesiologist "missed" and had to stick me again. It was on cloud 9 for about 1/2 hour and then it wore off but after 4 pushes Faith Renee Jones was here. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I remember just staring at her and counting her fingers and toes over and over again. I still get shivers when I stare into her big beautiful blue eyes. She is 6 and is in Kindergarten now. She loves church and her friends. She loves to sing and dance and make up her own songs. We have never cut her hair (yes we trim it) and it's down to her "tushy" now. She wants it cut short and I told her I would do it if we cut off 12 inches and donated it to Locks of Love. My hubby is absolutely against it but we'll see. It's so amazing you can love someone so much!
