Our baby is 6 months old!

I can't believe that 6 months ago yesterday I was sitting in church not feeling good and then after our Sunday dinner is when the contractions started-at first i thought my Luke didn't agree with that nights Pot Roast, but then the contractions kept getting stronger and before I knew it, it was 3 am on Monday morning and I was crying in pain while in the crawling position on our bed telling Kevin, " I think we should go to the hospital." Two hours later I was told to go back home. Kevin and I were exhausted...I tried to relax and lay down, but that made the pain worse. While Kevin slept on the couch I was upstairs pacing back in forth during contractions. All day I tried all the tricks they teach you- breathing, taking a bath, going on a walk...yada, yada, yada. The contractions just kept getting stronger and closer together. Finally at 6pm on Monday (a whole 24hrs from when the contractions began), I was admitted to the hospital by being dilated to a 5. I finally got my epidural and was able to sleep for the 1st time-sadly not for long. The Dr. came in and broke my water and after that came the waiting game and being checked every so often didn't allow me to much time between checks to sleep. Finally Tuesday morning rolled around, my progression had SLOWED down-Luke didn't react well to Pitocin. With me having a fever and Luke's heart rate lowering the Dr. told us a c-section would be the best idea. Both Kevin and I were nervous but knew we had to think of Luke-before I went into surgery Kevin and my dad gave me a blessing which made me feel at ease, knowing everything would be fine. After 36 hours, I finally heard the cry of our son Luke Aston Bias. He has from that day forward brought such joy and happiness to our lives. I am grateful daily that Kevin and I have been trusted to raise one of Heavenly Fathers children.
