Today I have a 2 Year Old!
Two years ago today I went into labor with my little Wyatt Richard Countryman. Wow 2 years! Where has time gone?! Well I am feeling very sentimentel today so I am going to reminsce about this amazing day in history!
It all started in Bel-Air on January 18, 2010 around 1130am I had been having contractions for weeks and the drs kept telling me, "False Labor! Go home and Relax" WHAT?! You tell a woman who has been pregnant for 9 months (it felt like 20 years) haha but anyway I knock over a row of muffins in the bakery department because I had a really big contraction, my mom tells me to walk ahead and she'll pick them up cuz believe it or not I could no longer bend my pregnant self over enough. So finished our shopping got chinese food and went home. Jordan was watching T.V when we got home and he helped unload the car then we sat down to eat and I doused my food in chinese hot sauce to get this baby out!
My contractions were still coming every 3-5 minutes not super strong or anything but there so we decided to go into L&D because I really wanted to have Wyatt on January 18th (My Uncle Richards birthday who had passed away in an accident in October 2008) Well the nurses said " Go back home your baby is cozy and will probably come next week" meaning AFTER my due date, So I left in tears, Jordan cheered me up by getting me french fries and a cream base frap at starbucks =) hes my hero! Then we head home and I announce to the household(or anyone who would listen) I would be pregnant for the rest of my life and that was that So I settled into the fact that i would be pregnant FOREVER! I relaxed the rest of the night and now fast forward to 2 am January 19th I wake up with weird cramps and I ignore them and tell Jordan to go get some sleep cuz this MIGHT a very huge might be it I convinced myself to fall back to sleep. Well that lasted all of an hour and I was up at 3am watching "The little mermaid" on disney channel becuase nothing else that was "relaxing" was on. I paced around the room and hallway,played on facebook, sipped water, just anything to keep me walking and busy. Mind you the biggest rain storm of the year was in FULL FORCE! So somehow i stayed busy til uh 445-5am and I then go and tell Jordan " I think it is time and you prob cannot hunt this morning I am going to shower and do my hair Ill come get you when I am ready. I LOVEEE YOU!" hehe So around 545 Showered and fresh with my hair done wayyy to fabulously for a woman in labor i got Jordan up He got my water bottle filled and off we went to what i thought was going to be the next noahs ark and I would deliver Wyatt in the car (really it took 10 min to get there because Jordan drove fast but safe) the hospital is normally a 30 min drive Thank the lord my husband is a good driver and noone was on the road at 6 am! We get checked in and the RN says " Im waiting for an OB or midwife can I check your cervix?" I said " YES PLEASE" haha the things you say in labor. I was a 3 YESSSS they HAD to admit me. So we get to our room get our iv and some fluids and set out to walk the halls! Around 8am I heard the most reassuring voice in the halls it was my midwife Gina! OMG Gina would be delivering my baby! (we saw her our whole pregnancy) She checks me and im like a 4.5 i dont remember every little thing remember im in labor. I made sure everyone had our birth plan i preferred no epidural but if it got to bad i would be offered one. So we progress great as the day goes on I get to 8cm around 330ish? and I decide okay i would like the epidural please. They send everyone out and i get my epidural. Well that sucker did not work and i was feeling every thing except my right leg which was numb =/ around an hour later a nurse checks me and im a 9 so she gets my midwife who asks to break my water and I agree, that immediately brought me to 9.5 and within 10 mins i was a 10 and ready to get this show on the road and meet my baby so at 615 we start pushing and by 649 Wyatt Richard Countryman entered the world at 7lbs 13oz 21in long =)
And now today on a very similar rainy day Wyatt turns 2! Baby boy mommy and daddy love you so much and cannot wait for you to be a big brother in July =)

"Its the most wonderful time of the YEARRRR!"
I bet you are reading this and cannot believe I am already listening to my Christmas music and watching my FAVE holiday movies.
But before I get to wrapped up in Christmas lets make it through Thanksgiving. So I wanted to take a few minutes to say what were all thankful for.
I am very thankful for my husband who works harder than any other man I know. (besides my own father =) ) He takes such good care of Wyatt and I.
I am also thankful for my parents. Goodness gracious I would not be half the woman I am today if it weren't for them.
I am thankful for one last thing, My family and friends who stand by my side not when I am up, but more importantly when I am down.
Now what are you thankful for!

It still hurts...
AND IT ALWAYS WILL!
This is what i want to scream at the top of my lungs everyday. People like to say "oh it will be ok." "Everything happens for a reason..." As much as I hear it i still dont believe it.
I have felt empty for over a month now and I cannot wait for that to change. I doubt it will ever change it will just just hurt less.
And i feel like i just wanna ramble on and on and on about whats going on or how i feel but yet i start to and people look at me like i cant listen to this. But the fact is that its healthier for me to talk about than to keep it in. As well as the fact that it happens all the time. and i am not the only one.
THE CORD (Author Unknown)
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord,
Not seen by the eye.
It’s not like the cord
That connects us ‘til birth
This cord can’t be seen
By any on earth.
This cord does its work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it’s there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord,
It’s hard to describe,
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied.
It’s stronger than any cord
Man could create.
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you’re not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised, I am sore.
But the cord is my lifeline
As never before
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A Mother and Child
Death can’t take it away
