Two years ago I was in so much pain and the "lovely" Navy Medical Center here in Virginia kept sending me away. I was a month early and they kept telling me "oh, you'll know when you are in labor."Christmas Eve, Kaylen and I got all the gifts out after Nixon was asleep and we went to bed. I couldn't lay down because of all the pain so I went to the couch and slept sitting up in the corner of the couch. Around 3 am, I went in and woke Kaylen and Nixon telling them "we need to let Nixon open presents because I am in labor and I have to go to the hospital." So we fumbled through Christmas morning for Nixon and I was having heavy contractions, pausing on occasion for a picture.
By the time we got out to the hospital, [about a 30 minute drive] I was at a 9 and believe you me... I was ready to have a baby! So at 1:57pm[we got there at 5:30am] Noah James Potter announced his presence weighing in at 7lbs 5.5 oz and 19 in long.
Noah was the best Christmas present I have ever gotten! Happy 2nd Birthday Noah!! WE LOVE YOU!!
