My Hero

February 14 will be an important day for years to come. Nope, not because it's Valentine's Day. Our little girl, Joslyn, was born on February 14, eight days before the due date. Both mom and baby are healthy.

Joslyn is perfect and adorable. See for yourself with the pictures in this post.



The hero I am talking about here is Kaylee. She started feeling contractions at 11:50 p.m. February 13. We didn't go to the hospital until I woke up fully around 6:30 a.m. We drove about 20-25 minutes to the hospital (St. Mark's), and she was calm the whole way there.

When we arrived at the hospital, the nurses put us in a room, and Kaylee said she wanted to go as long as she could without an epidural. She had contractions for hours and hours after that. The nurse even said she was impressed with Kaylee's strength.

When her contractions got stronger, but not much changed besides that, Kaylee chose to get the epidural. It didn't seem long after that when we ere to the point to push. Kaylee pushed for probably around an hour before Josyln officially arrived at 4:01 p.m.



Kaylee and all mothers everywhere are heroes or perhaps heroines is a better term. The pain they go through and the endurance and strength they show is incredible. We'd be absolutely lost without mothers and wives everywhere.
