Thomas' Birth Story

I'm trying to write alot more but obviously it takes me some time to get back into writing. So I decided to sit down and write my son's birth story. Well, at least what I can remember of it!

Back in 2011, we were living in Wolfforth, Texas. Matthew had just started working in the oilfield making some good money. I had no idea I was even pregnant until I couldn't hardly eat my food and drinking Dr. pepper made me sick. When matthew had called and talked to me one night. I had told him I couldn't eat hardly any food and Dr. Pepper made me sick. He asked if I was pregnant and I said I don't think so. Well, when he came home a couple weeks later we bought a test and it was positive. I took like 4 more to be sure.

We were happy to be expecting another baby. It was good timing especially since Rayna would be 2 in Decemeber. We went to Dr. Nayak in Andrews, Texas for my first appointment with this baby. He predicted it would be a boy and set up a sonogram for me the same day. I went to the sonogram and found out that my due date was Decemeber 13th, 2011. Matthew and I both looked at each other and laughed. The sonogram lady asked "Why are y'all laughing?" We replied "That's Rayna's birthday". She was all "Ah, she has a new baby sibling for her birthday".

We had realized that since we are closer to lubbock that I needed to find a doctor here. I went to Texas Tech Health Science Center ob/gyn here in lubbock. I will never ever go there again. They were rough, they hurt me but I didn't know who else to go to being new to the area. We had another sonogram around thanksgiving and found out we were having a little boy. Matthew was so excited. I wanted to have our little boy named after Matthew, but Matthew didn't want to name him after him. So one day we were going to eat, and Matthew had said he had a name picked out. I was like okay, what is it? He said I think Thomas is a cute name. I agreed. We decided to name our son Thomas. I didn't care what his name was as long as his dad's and my grandpa's names were in the middle name. My son has two middle names because of the two great men who raised his dad and I.

Pregnancy and blood sugar were always good, never had any issues with this pregnancy. I went into labor December 11,2012 around 10pm. We had gone to the UMC, which we were told was the best hospital to deliver at for babies. I got there and they had me flat on my back with 15-20 people in and out with me wide open. It was horrible. Matthew kept coming over and covering me up. I had the epidural and when I was about to fall asleep they had told me it was time to push. So I pushed and at 4:45 am on December 12, 2011, I had given birth to a beautiful baby boy named Thomas. He was 8lbs 3 oz. He was perfect, born the day before Rayna's 2nd birthday. It was perfect. Our family was complete at that time.

There's Thomas' birth story now I have two more to write Brooklyn's and Isabelle's. They are coming soon.
