Saturday July 30th was a busy day for our family. In the morning David had duty muster. He got home around 8am. We had breakfast then David took some maternity pictures of me. After that we headed to the park by the office in our housing for a food distribution. While standing in line I had a few contractions. David had a watch from 11:30 to 3:30. I started having contractions at 3:45pm. I started keeping track of how often I was having them. They never did become regular. David got home from watch around 4. At 4:30 my water broke. We loaded the girls into the car and headed to the hospital. When we got to the hospital we went to the labor and delivery floor. I was placed in a triage room and when the nurse checked me I was dilated to a 9. They brought in a gurney and transferred me to the gurney then took me to a delivery room. I had to transfer from the gurney onto the delivery bed. The anesthesiologist came in to try and give me a spinal block. I was having contractions so often that I couldn't/wouldn't get into position so I was not able to get any pain medication. I started pushing right away. I was not a very happy pregnant lady. I was screaming and hollering at the doctors. They tried to turn Treyven because he was face up. I guess delivery is faster and less painful if the baby is face down. I had to wear an oxygen mask because I wasn't breathing enough. The nurses kept telling me that I needed to calm down and breath. All the doctors and nurses were making me mad. I felt like everyone was giving me different instructions at the same time and all I could think about was how much pain and pressure I was having. Treyven was born at 6:19pm. Dr. Eric Rice delivered him. He weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces. He has lots of brown hair. The doctor placed Treyven on my chest and then David cut the cord. David and I both cried when he was born. We were both so glad that he was finally here and we couldn't believe how perfect he is. Later when the nurse was cleaning him up it was noticed that he has a hemangioma on his left lower buttock. That is the only birthmark that we have found. Around 8:30 we were moved to a postpartum room. The girls were so excited to see him and hold him. Treyven slept most of the night. The nurse came and got him once for some blood work. I didn't sleep very much, I stayed awake and watched him sleep. David spent Saturday night in the hospital room with us. Sunday we spent the day in our hospital room. Monday morning I went to a breast feeding class and Treyven had his circumcision. At 1:11pm Monday we were discharged. We are so excited that Treyven is here, we all love him to pieces. He is the cutest newborn in the whole world!!

Heavenly Father has blessed our family with this sweet little spirit. We love him so much and we are so grateful for how smooth the pregnancy went and how fast the delivery was.
