My best day ever
“Breath Jessica, just breath and give me one more big push.” The doctor said to me as I try to push my baby out. Moments later we hear it, my baby crying alerting the world that she is here. The birth of my daughter was long and exhausting. Joseph and I had stayed out late the night before not realizing what we were in for the next morning. As we crawled into bed that night I remember talking to the little baby in my belly asking for her to stay strong as it was almost time for her to be here. After having two miscarriages the thought of my full term baby not making it scared the life out of me. We had tried for a very long time to get pregnant and carry full term. It was hard to imagine that next day we were going to be parents. We woke up the next morning and made sure we had diaper bag full of clothes, diapers, bottles, formula, and plenty of binkies. Some might say we were over packed, but for your first child you can never be sure. My husband Joseph then made sure we had the car seat securely placed in the car and we were all ready to go. Leaving the house for the last time before we had our daughter was strange. I knew that when we would return things would be very different. It wouldn't just be the two of us anymore. As we drove to the hospital I felt an overwhelming sense of excitement, yet I was very nervous. I wasn't sure how this was going to go and after hearing everybody's stories I felt a little uneasy. It was like all of those emotions I had thought wouldn't come flooded me at once. I wasn't sure if she would come out healthy or if we would make it through the labor and delivery process. There were so many problems with our last two that I was so scared she wouldn't make it either. I’m not sure how I could have handled another miscarriage. Upon arriving to the hospital we got checked in and the nice nurse showed us to our room. We made sure our family knew where to find us

    The being pregnant part was actually really awesome. I was hungry all the time and got to eat pretty much anything and everything to my hearts content. I was always sleepy but best of all never did I get nauseous, which oh my gosh I was so happy for! You get to go to the doctor ALOT and the list of the things you can do is a short story compared to the novel that is the list of things you cant do. The very first feelings you feel of the baby moving feels like you have butterflies in your stomach and getting to hear the heart beat, now that is one of the best sounds in the world. I read What to Expect When You're Expecting like it was the bible. It tells you everything about the baby, their progress, what they look like at each stage and I was obsessed with it. At about five months that's when you get to find out the sex. That was the day I couldn't wait for. I wanted a girl so bad! I tried hard not to get my hopes up. Don't get me wrong I would love my child either way, but ever since that first day, that second line I couldn't stop thinking the word girl, girl, GIRL! I knew it, even though I told myself I didn't. My heart sank at first when the ultra sound nurse said “Do you see these three dots?” I instantly thought “okay cool its a boy, good thing I still have time to pick out a name” but as the nurse went on she said “congratulations your having a girl.” My mom who was with me just exploded into pure excitement, she had her three grandsons now the first granddaughter, and me, well I felt like I won the lottery. Picking out a name was also pretty easy seeing as how I already picked it out when I was 15, Riley, after my grandfather. I never got to meet him but I've always heard what an amazing person he was and I was in love with his name, but I had to make it its own so I decided to spell it Rylee. After that its pretty much 4 long fat months of you putting baby furniture together, buying clothes,…

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    Before this interview, I had never really thought about how there would be good emotions associated with giving birth, I had also just thought about how painful it must be physically and how awful that sounds to go through. However, after hearing my mom describe giving birth as “breathtaking, amazing, and inspiring”, my perspective on the entire experience of giving birth has changed. It was humbly to see that birth is really more than just the physical pain; it’s about bringing someone you already love so much into the…

One thing that helped us cope with being so far apart from one another and that was our second baby's first ultrasound appointment. That's when we seen the little bundle of joy for the first time and found out what we were having. Within twenty minutes of the ultrasound the doctor pronounced that we were having a little baby girl.

    On the evening of January 14, 2010, I was at a basketball game with my friends. Because my parents were divorced, I planned on my dad picking me up from the game and bringing me home to my moms. After trying for a few minutes to get ahold of my mom before leaving the school, my dad finally arrived. He told me that my mom was at the hospital and that she was in labor. Since we had planned ahead, I knew that he would bring…

    I'm so nervous and worried but they called us into the room to get her ready for the surgery. My little baby girl didn't know what was about to happen. My heart was falling apart to see her so small and having to experience this. They finally take her in so I tell her how much I love her and cry. After seven hours of waiting, they call me and tell me that the surgery was over and I could go in to intensive care to see her. That moment was the worst seeing her in so much pain. She passed out on me twice and doctors were so concerned of her reaction. Being there for a month wondering if she was going to make it or not is something I don't wish no one will ever have to go through. But my little angel, my warrior, fought so hard, she overcame it and we left the hospital on January 29th making our way back to El Paso,…
