This year has gone by sooo fast!!

WOW!! I can't believe its been a year since ive posted anything!! Lets see... in the past year SOOOO much has happened! Where do i even begin?? I will try to go in the best order i can.... hopefully i dont leave anything out! SOOOO..... December 2008~ I found out that i was PREGNANT!!! DUE July 29, 2009 February 2009~ Berto & I celebrated our 2 year anniversary!! i can't believe we've been together that long! For anyone who knew us BEFORE we got married you know EXACTLY how crazy it is that we are together!!!! March 2009~ Berto turned 25 and took off to his home El Salvador to visit his family... i couldnt go cuz i was 5 months pregnant at the time and SOOOOO not able to travel. April-June 2009~ NOTHING excited happened AT ALL!! Well i did have my baby shower memorial day weekend! thanks to all that came it was a TON of fun to watch everyone play the games! JULY 2009~ This was by far the CRAZIEST month for me!! July1 i had my 36 week appt with my OB and they told me i was dilated to 1cm and 85% effaced. ( I didnt think anything of it because all the baby books i read said that it could still be weeks before baby comes...) Well i woke up at 6am July 2 and i thought i peed my pants!!! But it wasnt a huge amount but enough that i knew it wasnt normal... SOOO i called my OB and they told me to go ahead and go over to the hospital just to be safe. So i went and they tested the fluid to see if it was amniotic fluid and sure enough it was! the nurse told me i had just earned myself a room at the inn. :) I was SO nervous/EXCITED! i couldnt believe this was FINALLY happening! I had a REALLY rough pregnancy. i was sick the whole time and then they thought i had gestational diabetes and it turned out i didnt but it was VERY stressful! I couldnt wait to have this baby and be done! So after 11 hours of labor i relented and got the epidural! after that it was so nice! i couldnt feel anything! They had to tell me when to push!! So i got the epidural at like 6ish PM.... i started pushing at 11pm and an hour and 41 minutes later my baby was here!!
