Christopher's birth story. Well I went in to the hospital on Sunday December 7Th because I was having contractions every 4 minutes they monitored me for 1 hour and sent me home Monday night I lost my mucus plug so I called Mario at work and told him to get Makaila and come home he called our baby sitter she said to have Makaila stay the night just in case something happened Tuesday morning at 5am I got up it felt like he had kicked me really hard looking back now that is when my water broke so at 5:30am I got Mario up and told him to time my contractions at 6am we headed to the hospital got there at 6:30am I ask for my epidural but they would not give it to me because they were not sure if they were going to keep me my contractions were hurting really bad at 7:30am they finally put me in a room at 8am my Doctor came to see me just as she is walking out the door I said I could feel pressure they got my Doctor back in the room and had him at 8:49am 10 minutes later I was rushed in to surgery because my placenta was stuck to my uterus I woke up and I guess I was bleeding so much they thought they were going to have to take out my uterus I had to be monitored for the next 24hours and be on antibiotics for 24 hours 4 hours later I got to go back to the room come to find out they gave me a spinal and it went up instead of down and I was having problems breathing when I woke up from surgery my lips were numb and I could not talk I think I said everything that had happened my Doctor said that I should not had anymore children because this will happen each time and get worse each time too all that and no epidural!!!

The List

2008-02-20T18:04:00.000-08:00

This is the kind of list everyone should print and put up some place visible so you can read it every day.
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Whenever possible, Look the person in the eye when you say Thank-you and I Love you.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.
18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your family will.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
39. Get outside every day Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
42. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
45. The best is yet to come.
46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
48. If you don't ask, you don't get.
49. Yield.
50. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
