And I am glad that today is over. :)

Gabriel had his friends over today to celebrate his 5th Birthday. :) Gabreil was born on June 22nd Littlebit after midnight. On june 21st, 2001 I went to walm mart to buy some last minute things. Before I went to walmart I had my ob/gyn appointment. She told me that I was ready to give birth. So as I was walking around in Wal mart I started having contractions. But since I had Braxton hicks contractions all through the pregnancy I really did not pay much attention to my pain. I got my stuff and drowe home. Hour later contractions got bigger and more uncomfortable. But no real pain, just lot and lot of pressure. So I told nick that Ok, lets go outside and take a walk, because I was just feeling kind of weird and wanted to walk it out. After 15 minutes of walking REAL painful contracton hit me and then I knew for sure that I was in labor. :lol. I ran inside, called my doctor, they got hospital room ready and OFF we went to Mission Viejo hospital. I I started having REALLY REALLY bad contractions on our way to the hospital. Every 5 minutes or so. Hospital is 2,9 mile from us and ride there was fast but since there is about 20 traffic lights and I was having contractions, it seemed like we took 100 mile ride.

We got there around 9.45. Nurse there told me that I am probably not even dialated and they will most likely send me back home. BUT after they checked me and I WAS dialated 6 cm , everybody got really busy, really suddenly. THEY called my doctor and asked her to HURRY over. :lol.. I made one really bad mistake. I asked for epidural, BUT it did not kick in. Getting epidural was THE MOST painful experience ever. They could not get the needle in and when they did they got it wrong. and they had to redue it again. AND during that time I was having REALLY big contractions and my water finally broke. I managed to fall asleep and next thing I knew is that I felt horrible pressure and pain and I called nurse and -- gues what... Gabriel was in a hurry to get out. :lol I HAVE never ever seen nurses and doctors run so fast to get everything ready.

Gabriel was born 12.07 AM. 7lb,6oz. 19,5 inches. :) Perfect boy. :):):)
( arts and crafts table- I bought Floam, paint, wooden shapes ( cars, trucks, flowers). Kids had lots of fun doing it. It was messy,but kids love messy stufffff)

Today we had a party for him and he had lots of fun. :) I had bounce house for him, I baked him a cake and made snacks for moms and one dad. I did take few pictures, but I had a bad picture day today. None of my pics turned out really good. I usually get few really good prints, but today was one of those - What the heck was I thinking by taking that pic- kind of day. :)
