On January 17, 2009 our life completely changed when i found out i was pregnant. We were nervous but overjoyed to find out the news! Throughout my pregnancy from start to finish i had horrible nausea. The first trimester it seemed i couldn't keep anything down. During the second trimester i had begun taking medication to control the nausea which seemed to help. On April 15, 2009 we had an ultrasound and found out we were going to have a baby girl! Things went pretty smooth until the ninth month. I had horrible joint pain and began having contractions 3 weeks before she was due. We went to the hospital 3 times with early stage labor and got sent home all 3 times! talk about discouraging!! Then the best news i could have gotten from my doctor came, they were going to induce labor on September 17.
We went to the hospital at 9:00pm that night and began the long awaited journey of labor. I didn't start to have real strong contractions until about 5:30am the next morning. They broke my water at 7:30am and i had an epidural by 8:15am! Thinking things would progress fast once my water broke was a mistake. I continued to have intense contractions all day until 4:00pm. I had Brian, my sister Natalie and Brian's sister Tiffany in the delivery room. They were so supportive and i could not have done it without them! I pushed for about 49 minutes and then at 4:49pm Audrina Lynn Harryman was born. She weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 20 inches long! It was the most amazing experience of my life. Overall i enjoyed the experience of being pregnant and would do it again in a heartbeat!
