- Lance got a second job
- We put our condo up for sale
- Logan turned 6
- We sold our condo (6 months later)
- Lance and I went on a cruise to the Carribean

My birth story
This isn't very exciting, just to warn you. But everyone has a birth story and I wished I would have written Logans down (although it would have been not such a fun story) so I'm documenting little Liams. Friday morning I woke up, got Logan off to school, came home and went back to bed. However I couldn't sleep, I had been up the night before with back pain and the same thing this morning. I took a bath and laid back down. All I was thinking about was everything I had to get done like laundry and for work. I was getting mad at myself for being so lazy when I had so much house work to do before work so I finally got up. I walked into the bathroom and my water broke. It shocked me to say the least, I wasn't sure if I had just peed on the floor or it really was my water! I just sat on the toilet and called Lance who didn't answer. I then called my little sister who didn't answer. I then texted Lance - could you please call me? My water broke and I can't seem to get ahold of anyone. I then called my friend Lacie who answered and said,"Are you in labor?" It was a quick convo and she was getting ready to come get me when Lance finally called back. He had already left, said he told the people he worked with his baby was on the way and peaced out. I called Lacie back and told her and then got out my makeup to do while I waited for Lance. All the while still sitting on the toilet mind you.
Lance flies in, panicked. He is throwing shit everywhere (his work clothes) asking if I have a bag and asking me what the hell I'm doing putting on makeup. I said I couldn't get off the toilet obviously so I may as well be productive. He said, "We are not having this baby on the road like your cousin!" I told him to go get me a diaper (adult diaper for my patients) from my trunk of medical supplies. So thats what I wore to the hospital. Walking up to labor and delivery was harder then I thought but I refuse to ride in a wheelchair. I walked in and said my water broke. I knew they didn't think it was likely because when I was there many women came in thinking the same thing and all were sent home. I wasn't feeling my contractions and new I was in no hurry so they took me to triage. They checked me with the paper that turns blue if its amniotic fluid and it was positive, so into a room I went. I felt bad walking past all the other women who were there in false labor.
So I was contracting but very irregularly and after 6 hours I was still dilated to a 2. I didn't want to start pitocin but the risk for infection is high and I didn't want my baby sitting inside of me with no water, it kinda freaked me out. So we started the pitocin and things slowly moved along. I waited till I was a 5 to get my epidural which wasn't so pleasant. My epidural hadn't worked with Logan so I made sure the anesthesiologist realized that I wasn't a 5 foot Asian lady and that I could handle a little more medication then most. Big mistake. He came in an hour later to give me more because I could still feel the contractions pretty good (8/10) and he loaded me up. About 30 minutes later my pressure dropped to 115/40 and I started puking. I had 2 spells of dry heaving after that and they gave me ephedrine to get my dropping pressure up. I couldn't even move or feel my legs which was so weird to me. I kept touching them and saying they felt like a strange ladies fat legs.
I felt much better after the ephedrine and was much more alert. My dad came in the midst of all this so we were all just hanging out and waiting (my mom, sis, dad, Lance). February 11 is Lance and I's anniversary and I told my doctor I wanted to have the baby before midnight so he could have his own day. 11:30pm rolled around, 14 hours after my water broke, and I was having major heart burn. My dad said he had tums in his car and walked out to get them. I told Lance that I felt some pressure and to check me, he looked down there and ran in to the hall to get the nurse. Also in walks my doctor who had come before midnight in hopes of keeping me happy, he said he brought a book in case I wasn't ready lol, he is so cute. (BTW my doctor also delivered Logan and was my doc growing up, he stitched up my finger in his kitchen with I was little). Well they positioned me and I pushed 3-4 times, I felt no pain. Liam was out in 10 minutes, born at 11:43pm. My dad walked in just in time to hear the baby cry. It was so amazing, the nurse put him right under my gown on my chest and he calmed right down. His breathing slowed and he just layed there on me so content. I was crying and my mom was sobbing. He layed there for a long time and then we decided to see what he weighed, 7 lb 8 oz and 19.5 inches long.
We are totally in love with him, me and Lance fight over who gets to hold him. Logan was born at the beginning of me and Lances marraige in a time when we had no money and Lance didn't have the ability to take the time off, I also started back to school early on.. So things were so stressful with him, with Liam we don't have those worries we once had and we can purely enjoy him. We really are in heaven over here!
