My due date was August 12, and Hayden Lorenzo was born on August 18, 6 days over due. Regular contractions began at 10 pm August 17 and he was born at 5:25 am on August 18. This was the happiest moment of my life. And I mean it this time. I know there have been a lot of other moments that I have said were the happiest moments of my life, but this was really it.
I have to say that labour hurts a lot, but I am also very proud to say that I brought our son into this world without using any pain medications. My labour and delivery went exactly as planned, it was perfect. Except that a few very important people that I wanted to be at the birth couldn't be there. But there were some really great people that were there. My mom and dad and nona were there, as well as some really awesome nurses and friends.
Before my delivery people would ask me if I thought it was going to be weird having people I work with be in the room when I delivered my baby. And now I can honestly say that I wouldn't have had it any other way. I am thrilled that my co workers who are also my dear friends could be there at such a happy time in mine and Owen's lives.
So far I love being a mother. Its only been 12 days but I feel like I could just keep having babies and nothing would make me happier. I had no idea I could love somebody so much. I have never loved anyone more than I love Hayden. He is the love of my life!
Here are a few photos of Hayden Lorenzo Marquardt.
This is just as we're getting ready to leave the hospital.
