Mama & Baby

Lately, I have been so busy & want to apologize for not posting anything in a few days. My blogis doing amazing. it has bee pushing about 100 page views a day and I couldn't do it without you guys :) Beside working, trying to enroll into a new college, cleaning my house, and spending time with my family I really haven't got time to cook anything, shop or write about anything. Actually I did just make a wonderful chicken pot pie but forgot to take a picture (shame on me) :) So I thought I would share my pregnancy/birth story:
My husband Kevin & I were living in Guam when we found out that I was pregnant.
-He is in the navy if I didn't mention that already!
We got married April 23, 2012 & I found out about a week later.
I took a pregnancy test NOT because I felt sick but because I WANTED a baby.
Everything was normal, I was feeling fine and was even having my period.
When I came home and brought a pregnancy test and it came out POSITIVE we were thrilled.
Right away, I knew it was a girl and started buying clothing.
(kevin wanted a boy, of course) 
Original due date: February 1st, 2013
Then they changed it too: January 31, 2013
My family was thrilled as well, but knew the wouldn't be able to see her because we would be in Guam until November of 2013
But we were lucky enough to get orders and moved in November of 2012
(flying twenty hours was the worst, the bathroom was my best friend)
I literally started having morning sickness two days after I found out I was pregnant & that lasted my whole first trimester.
We moved to North Chicago, Illinois which was GREAT because we are able to drive home a lot (Michigan is Both of our home)
On January 31st I started having contractions at Wal-Mart.
That evening I couldn't even lay down I was in pain so I went into the hospital and they broke my water the next morning.
I was in active labor for about 10 hours & Amelia was being so stubborn & wouldn't move down.
(I was at 9cm for amost 4 hours)
So the did a last minute C-section!
