Go back to sleep please, just for a few more hours is what my hubby said to me the night I was in labour with our 2nd child. In his defense he was exhausted, it was 1am and with our first it was a long 44 hour labour so I agreed with him and went back to bed. He slept and I tossed and turned until about 4am when I couldn’t toss and turn anymore. It’s time, I told him and off we went. This was not like the first time, the pain was there but not half as bad, and then we got to the hospital then all of a sudden the pain got worse, alot worse.  I mean I couldn’t talk, and when I can’t talk that means I’m in pain. I could barely call out for help from the bathroom where I thought I was going to have Nik for a minute cuz I couldn’t move. Fortunately the midwife got there and helped me to the bed and as I tried to tell her I want an epi, she said “we don’t have time for that” and I freaked. The pain with my first labour was unbearable, I mean I was screaming for the epi for hours until I finally got it and then felt nothing, Hallelujah! So this time, I was thinking, I’m in pain and can’t take anything, and just as I was starting to lose it, the contractions started like a tidal wave, I couldn’t control them, and with the 2nd or 3rd push Nikolaos was out and boy did I feel great!!!  In fact, just a few hours later I was discharged. It ended up being a wonderful birth and although we forgot to call anyone and forgot to start the video and forgot to take pics and even when I did, my camera decided to die right then and there, ugh, it was still a wonderful and blessed day.

4 years later we are celebrating his birthday and its not fair that time goes so quick, he’ll be 14 before I know it and I so want to hold on to them being children. Even when I’m pulling out my hair cuz they are fighting over the wii or being silly for hours, or not wanting to go to bed and making up every excuse they can, its on the birthdays when you realize time flies and moments like these are fleeting, so I try to cherish everyone of these moments as much as I can. Before I know it, they will be grown up and I won’t be reading a bedtime story to them, or cutting up their food, or washing their hair for them, soon they won’t need me anymore. Ok, maybe not that soon, but its soon enough for me,lol. For now, I’ll just relive Nik’s birthday through these pics. It was a small party this year, just a few friends, it was still alot of fun and yummy cake was enjoyed by all. Until next year my sweet lil baby boy, God bless you and always remember how much mommy loves you.
