Happy Birthday Lyncoln

Dear Lyncoln,
You were born on January 11, (Thursday) 2007 at American Fork Hospital. Your due date was February 2nd. Your two Grandma's (Christopherson and Tanner) were hoping you'd be born on your due date because that is their birthday as well. Instead you came three weeks early. During the time I was pregnant with you I had a lot of false labor and was in and out the hospital a lot. On the morning of your birth I woke up early throwing up. I thought I had food poisoning because I ate something the night before that I probably shouldn't have eaten. It was bagel with nutela on it, the nutela smelt and tasted weird but I ate it anyways because it was chocolate I LOVE chocolate too much. During the night before I was having contractions that were only few minutes a part and they lasted for a few hours. I wasn't going to go in because I promised myself the last time I went in and got sent home without you it was really hard on me emotionally as well physically, I wasn't going to go in unless my water broke. In the morning Dad told me to hang in there as he left for work. By 10:30 am I was in so much pain that I called him to come home. I don't think we went in right away but after an hour or so of more contraction Dad drove me to the hospital. With all the false labors and my due date three weeks away, Dad dropped me off and took your brothers to Grandma Wright's house so they could play. He told me to call him when they release me or if by some miracle that I got admitted. I got to the hospital around Noon the nurse check to see what I was dilated at it was a 3. By 1:30 pm I had gone to a 4 so they admitted me to the hospital. I called Dad to let him know but because Grandma was working there was no one to watch your brothers. Dad had to wait until 2:30 to come when he walked into my room I was in the middle of getting my epidural that was around 3 pm. I had you at 5:47 pm. It was a great delivery you weighted 7lbs 6oz and Dr. Timo Hoggard was the one that delivered you. Your brothers had some hair but nothing like you did, you had a lot of brown hair with the tips blonde. Grandma Christopherson said, "She came out with her hair already highlighted." We are so glad you are part of our family Lyncoln.

Happy Birthday Lyncoln! Sorry I never got a chance to call. Seems I have no time with a one year old...

I love birth stories. And I love when the hospital doesn't turn you away. (Even if she was three weeks early.)
