Addison's Birth Story

This time last year I was busy trying to get this baby out! I went swimming, walking, ate spicy foods, tried anything within reason.
On Monday morning, June 23, one day before my due date I went in for a Dr. appointment asking (I may have begged) to be induced, that wasn't really how I had hoped things would go, but I was ready then. The Dr. said the soonest it could be scheduled was the 25th but he said not to worry I'd probably go into labor that night. I called Adam and said the Dr. thought maybe later that night. I went home and sure enough around 11 am I started feeling contractions. Around 1:30 pm when contractions were extremely frequent and intense, I called Adam to let him know it wouldn't be too long. "Now?" yes, Adam was up North, hilling corn, "I don't have a pickup" seriously I about cried. At least he did have his phone on. He worked it out and was home shortly. Meanwhile I called the Dr. office to let them know we'd be going in soon. The nurse told me to be sure to eat something so I "wasn't a Starvin Marvin" (?) anyway nothing at home sounded good so Adam suggested McDonald's, it's fast, right? We get to the McDonald's drive through and ordered chicken nuggets, pulled up to the pickup window where we are asked to pull up and they would bring it out to us, while I am having contractions every couple minutes! I was sure I was going to have my baby at McDonald's. We got to the hospital after 3 pm. I was told the baby was coming sunny side up which explained my back labor. I couldn't have gotten through my all natural (by choice) labor without the wonderful nurses and Adam who was great. It wasn't long and the nurse asked for a practice push so she would have an idea when to call the Dr., in mid practice push, the nurse tells me "stop! I'll be right back." My Dr. barely made it, two pushes later and at 7:44 pm our baby was here. "Girl or boy? Girl or boy?" I asked (cried, shouted) and I don't even remember who said it, "girl." Addison Joyce Hoagland, she was absolutely beautiful! 7lbs 80z and 20 inches long. Both sets of Grandparents were there to meet their first grandchild. It was all perfect. Addison means child of Adam and Joyce is my mom's middle name.
I can't believe Addison will be 1 on Tuesday! What a wonderful year it has been, although it seems like just yesterday. I just wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures. We don't have huge plans for Tuesday, hopefully a relaxing day with family.
