My Most Memorable Day in My Life
Amber Watt Student Id- 21844293 Exam-986098 My most memorable day in my life would have to be the day my first son was born. It was March 1, 1999; I, my husband, my mom, and my sister went in to the hospital that cold morning. It was around 8, I was so excited this was going to be the day that I truly became a mommy. The day I have waited for a long time. I lay down in the hospital bed and got hooked up to the I.V., monitors; it felt like anything else they could hook me up to. The doctor tried to induce me but with every contraction my blood pressure would go to high. Dr. Harris gave me the choice to wait another week or do a C-section to day. He gave us the time to think about it, but he also said “My blood pressure might not be better next week.”, And then left the room. My husband and I thought about it. C-section would be the safest for me and the baby. The nurses got me ready for the C-section. In to the operation room we went, I was scared, but the nurses assured me everything would be fine. It seemed like forever till my husband was in there sitting by my head. The doctor came in and said “let’s get started it’s a good day to have a baby here we go!” The doctor made the first cut and within 15 minutes our baby boy was out at 4:12 P.M. and crying. When we first heard him cry it brought tears to mine and my husband’s eyes, tears of joy! The nurses checked our baby out; made sure he was doing fine. They wrapped him up like a little burrito, and brought him to us let my husband hold him. When I first looked in to my son’s eyes, and kissed him on his forehead I knew that my life would change from this point on. My husband got to carry our son to the nursery while I went to recovery. As soon as I was out of recovery they took me back to my room. Where I waited for my son, the nurses brought my son to me from the nursery. I couldn’t wait to hold my precious baby boy for the first time. They put him in my arms and as he looked up at me I said

    My father had picked me up while carrying me to mother, not angry like I thought they’d be. They held me whilst mother saying, “No one can replace you, Abigail, we love you dearly.” And “Nothing will change, even when the baby will come.” father told me. After that talk, I grew to love the fact that I am going to be a big sister.…

    The being pregnant part was actually really awesome. I was hungry all the time and got to eat pretty much anything and everything to my hearts content. I was always sleepy but best of all never did I get nauseous, which oh my gosh I was so happy for! You get to go to the doctor ALOT and the list of the things you can do is a short story compared to the novel that is the list of things you cant do. The very first feelings you feel of the baby moving feels like you have butterflies in your stomach and getting to hear the heart beat, now that is one of the best sounds in the world. I read What to Expect When You're Expecting like it was the bible. It tells you everything about the baby, their progress, what they look like at each stage and I was obsessed with it. At about five months that's when you get to find out the sex. That was the day I couldn't wait for. I wanted a girl so bad! I tried hard not to get my hopes up. Don't get me wrong I would love my child either way, but ever since that first day, that second line I couldn't stop thinking the word girl, girl, GIRL! I knew it, even though I told myself I didn't. My heart sank at first when the ultra sound nurse said “Do you see these three dots?” I instantly thought “okay cool its a boy, good thing I still have time to pick out a name” but as the nurse went on she said “congratulations your having a girl.” My mom who was with me just exploded into pure excitement, she had her three grandsons now the first granddaughter, and me, well I felt like I won the lottery. Picking out a name was also pretty easy seeing as how I already picked it out when I was 15, Riley, after my grandfather. I never got to meet him but I've always heard what an amazing person he was and I was in love with his name, but I had to make it its own so I decided to spell it Rylee. After that its pretty much 4 long fat months of you putting baby furniture together, buying clothes,…

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    Before this interview, I had never really thought about how there would be good emotions associated with giving birth, I had also just thought about how painful it must be physically and how awful that sounds to go through. However, after hearing my mom describe giving birth as “breathtaking, amazing, and inspiring”, my perspective on the entire experience of giving birth has changed. It was humbly to see that birth is really more than just the physical pain; it’s about bringing someone you already love so much into the…

    Upon arriving it became obvious the night ahead of us would be long. I had not dilated at all, but my body was in labor. After some time, the doctor hooked me up to I.V. medication to speed up the process. I requested my epidural and the anesthesiologist came. After inserting the epidural, they informed my mother they would be back when they did the c-section on me. My mother did not tell me this until after the delivery. She knew I had prayed, and believed by faith I would deliver Micah naturally. Several medical people had told me I would not deliver my baby naturally due to my size and shape, but I prayed and trusted God would somehow aid me in a natural delivery. I had to go back to work seventeen days after Micah was born.…

    "When they took me into the O.R., I took a deep breath and went to sleep. When I woke up, I was in the recovery. I just felt so empty inside - one minute I had a life living inside me and 20 minutes later there's nothing. I just started crying hysterically. The nurse came up to me and said "Why are you crying? You got what you wanted, now be quiet; you're going to worry the other girls." I got myself under control and walked out into the waiting room. As soon as I got out of there I just started screaming and crying, "What did I do?" I had to be carried into the car. I cried all the way home - in my life I have never felt so much pain like that day. It's been 4 months now, and it still hurts like it was yesterday," said eighteen year old Shantel Garcia, months after a surgical procedure that changed her life.…

Early that morning my parents took us to the bus station.The bus was leaving at 6 a.m. in the morning to get to Austin, TX at midnight.

We arrived to the hotel and finally felt safe and some peace. As soon as we walked in the room, I called my family and let them know we were good.…
