Benjamin Michael's Birth Story

[Krystalia]

Hello ladies!

My precious boy was born July 1st, he was 6lbs 2 ounces and 20 inches long. I only made it through with God's Amazing Grace!

A few weeks before I had Ben I was very anxious about his arrival. My fluids were low and I just wanted him out but I think it was maybe 2 days before I had Ben I gave it all to God and said Lord, you are going to take care of me and my son so I stopped worrying about it and then he came!

It wasn't easy... I thought Samuel was painful... umm no! I was in labor for 19 hours. The contractions were awful and I got an epidural but it only helped with the pain of pushing. I still felt all my contractions and there was a lot of times I thought I was going to die. I just prayed the entire time. My mom and sister both were with me when i actually pushed and I was alone the rest of the time but I had Amber! She was such a blessing, her along with a few other friends who were texting and calling.

The days following were hard because noone stayed with me at the hospital so it was just me and Ben.. I missed Samuel like crazy!

Today is my first day back at work and I am happy to get my routine back. David didn't sign the BC even tho there is no denying Ben isn't his.. but I knew he wouldn't ... we go to court Sept 6th for all that stuff... I will post some more in the prayer request section on all of that... and there are pictures in the baby section!

All in all I am blessed.

I think you did great! I am so proud of you!! I know with God's strength you can do this!! You have women who love you here and are lifting you up before the throne of God!! Don't forget to remind us how to pray from time to time. We love you and pray you feel His grace and mercy during these rough times!!
