My journey ends here, while theirs barely begins.

Yes, you've  read correctly, the Prince has arrived, & he is doing absolutely amazing.
Wednesday February 4th 2015 at about 3am, I was awakened to a very strange "pop" like feeling in my cervical area. Discomfort  immediately followed.  Within minutes I was in the restroom with a pretty significant amount of bleeding. Instead of alerting everyone immediately, I chose to try to relax for a bit and see if this was the "real deal" or not.
A little background history, On Wednesday the 28th of January in the middle of the night, I was awakened by contactions some bloody mucusy show that lasted a few hours then Completely went away. Monday evening (February 2nd) while at my sister's house, the exact same thing. Contractions Fairley close together and again bloody mucusy show. I made baby sitting arrangements, advised my doula and came home to prepare for active labor. BAM! The pains were gone AGAIN and every other symptom disappeared aswell. I stayed at with my mom all day Tuesday (Feb 3rd) just in case anything started up again. Nothing, absolutely  nothing, ALL day. I headed back home Tuesday night thinking I'd discuss these series of events with my Dr at Wednesdays 11:15a appointment and maybe he'd be able to explain what in the world was going on.
Please keep in mind, each and every time I got one of these "false alarms", I'd contact my doula, alert my sister who would be the one driving me to the hospital, make baby sitting arrangements, basically alert everyone. To only then have to let everyone know, "ok, nevermind, it stopped (again)
Now back to my story. Wednesday, February 4th 3am here I was again. Contractions and blood. Only this time no mucus. I waited till about 5:45am before even telling my doula, in fear that this would result in yet another "false alarm". I finally contacted her, explained what I had felt and what I was experiencing. She recommended I call the hospital to describe the amount of blood I had been experiencing to make sure it would be ok to labor at home for a bit. I called and the nurse recommended I come in to be checked. I made all the arrangements and by 6am my dad was driving me to the hospital, the discomfort got worse and the space between each contraction got closer and closer. I made it to the hospital at about 630 am and my doula was already there waiting for me. I immediately tried to relaxed and just allow my body to do what it needed to do and just surrender any feeling of fear and tension. My doula handed me a eye mask and head phones and I listened to relaxing music as she wheelchaired me up to the labor and delivery department. Taking deep breaths in and out and trying my hardest to not tense up during each contraction, we finally made it to our room. I was instructed to undress from the waist down and the nurse was ready to check to see how many centimeters I was dilated to. In my mind thought "I'll be lucky if I'm 3" the look on the nurse's eyes said differently. She was shocked that I had just gotten to the hospital and was already 7 centimeters dilated. My IPs were called and advised of the news and they headed to the hospital. A bit of time passed as my doula and I worked together to get through each intense contraction. Deep breaths in and out, deep pressure to my lower back, calming relaxing music, aroma therapy, foot rubs and anything else my AMAZING doula recomended. I eventually gave in and asked for an epidural to help easy the discomfort I was experiencing. Just as the anesthesiologist was preparing to administer the epidural, a light knock on the door. It was C & S!!!!! They made it. My biggest fear was things progressing to quickly and them missing the birth of their baby. The anesthesia started to slowly take the discomfort away and I was able to just lay and relax. The nurse check me again shortly after. I was now 9cm.  At about 10 am I began to feel a new and constant pressure in my rear area and my doula called for the nurse to check me. I was 10cm and baby was right there ready to come into the world. My legs were closed and I started breathing techniques to prevent the urge of pushing before the DR arrived. About 10 minutes later Dr Cobb arrives and 20 Minutes later Baby A is born!!!!! Mom cut his cord and immediately held him and began speaking to him and letting him know how much she loved him and who she was. That was a moment that will never be erased from my memory!
Baby A weighted 6lbs 12oz and measured 19 inches.
So here we are, a little over a year from actually meeting in person, I was able to give C & S the greatest gift humanly possible. The birth of their gorgeous healthy handsome baby boy! February 4th 2014 at10:51am, C & S became parents for a 2nd time and I couldn't be any prouder nor happier for them. God blessed me with wonderful intended parents and blessed them with a loving surrogate, a healthy handsome perfectly perfect baby boy and journey that will be forever embedded in our thoughts and more importantly in our Hearts!
