OUR BABY STORY

Monday November 4th Ty and I went for our normal doctor visit and as we waited to be seen, Ty and I wondered if baby Noah will come early or will he come late? We were so anxious to meet him but we also knew he was breeched so  him coming early without turning first was not a good thing so our focus became on making sure Noah turned. I was already scheduled to have the doctor turn him if he didn't turn on his own.  We met with the doctor and she did an ultrasound and Noah was still breeched and she couldn't turn him because he was low on amniotic fluid so our doctor planned for me to have a c-section. I have only heard scary things about c-sections so of course I didn't want to have one but after talking to family and friends they said it's not as bad as some make it to be. But I was still terrified so once we got home from the doctors Ty called one of his closest friend Eric to give me a blessing. I felt better but still terrified since he about to be born the next day. Since it was a surprise I tried to mentally prepare myself for the c-section but I couldn't because this whole pregnancy has been a nightmare and it was to not to keep thinking about all the things that have been wrong and all the things that could go wrong. 
So the big  day is  finally here, Ty and I got up both nervous  as heck and we headed to the hospital in Idaho falls. There we were greeted by  the nicest nurses. They welcomed Ty and I and made us feel  very comfortable. They did an awesome job taking my mind off the whole c-section. My doctor finally came in to meet with us and She told us what to expect, how she will be performing the c section and who will be assisting in the c section but what I mostly enjoyed is the fact that she said " I had a dream about you last night, you gave birth to a healthy baby boy and I been praying for  you and everything is going to be alright." After hearing those words I felt comforted and once I told Ty I felt comforted he too was comforted.  He was excited  to finally meet our baby boy and He was also super excited about the c-section because in his own words " I get to see your insides. "  I don't remember much about the whole procedure but  as soon as I heard Noah crying  I knew he was okay. Baby Noah was born November 5th 2013 weighing 9lbs 2 ounces and 20 inches. He and Ty went to another room while the doctors finished working on me. I was so blessed to have great doctors and nurses to take great care of me. I  now sit here and I don't remember everything but I do remember how amazing the staff in the hospital were. I remember the recovery process because it sucked but I'm so grateful because I had amazing people to help me along. I'm grateful for  family and friends who helped and I'm especially grateful for the ladies in the church who came together to make  sure Ty and I were okay. They had meals ready and even helped with cleaning. What ever we needed they were there. "As sisters in Zion we all work together..." I truly believe in those words. " charity never faileth" and those sisters in my ward and those other people who helped us truly live up to those words.
