For the guys eyes....
This is for you guys out there who plan on getting married.......Here are some tips on how you can be a good husband......Again, they are just tips....You can take em or leave em...And even just doing 2 of these things is good :)...I am happy to say my husband does a majority of them...I am blessed.
1. Always open every door for her
2. Kiss her on the cheek in public
3. Don't always assume that a kiss leads to more....Sometimes girls just want to kiss with no expectations...
4. Tell her she looks pretty when she has no makeup on and is in her sweatpants and a college t-shirt
5. Take her somewhere at night and look at the stars
6. Let her talk about the things you usually could care less about
7. Have her pick out the movie and dinner sometimes
8. Take a day and just spend it all with her alone watching movies and cuddling together
9. Give her a foot massage...Or back massage....Or head massage...Better yet, all three :)
10. PUT THE FRIGGEN LID DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
11. Don't leave the kitchen cabinets open
12. Make her a candle lit dinner...Even if it consists of mac n cheese and hot dogs...
13. It's OKAY to do the dishes sometimes
14. Surprise her with a love note and some pretty flowers you picked yourself.....
15. Take her on a walk and hold her hand
16. Tell her you love her every night and every morning
17. Kiss her every day
18. Tell her you like her cooking even if it tastes like toe jam....(yeah gross, but I didn't know what else to say)
19. Play games with her
20. Rekindle the fire as often as you can
Guys just remember that just because you get married doesn't mean that your relationship is now "done" and you can stop working for it....Marriage takes even more work to keep it strong than a boyfriend girlfriend relationship. The day you quit trying to make the marriage work is the day that it stops working....I'm not saying that it just takes you guys to keep it strong, but you are a big part of it all...You have to become the head of the house hold, therefore you have a big responsibility on your shoulders....Don't ever give up on your love for your lady....Always do you very best to make sure you both are happy with each other...And when you have kids make sure and work that much harder...Kids don't ruin things, they make things even better...You just have to find a balance and always make sure you have one on one time with your lover......<3

My Labor...
Okay so this post is going to be a little "graphic" for some people.....I'm only doing this so I can go back and see what I went through for my baby....And some people ask me how my labor went, so here ya go....Don't read it if you don't wanna know details of my labor and delivery.....
So it was Friday February 15, the day after Valentine's day and I was 36 weeks pregnant.....I had been diagnosed with Preeclamsia a few days prior.....My blood pressures were super high and the protein count in my urine was over 1000, so it wasn't too good.....My doctor wanted me to try and make it to 37 weeks before taking any action......Well my Mom is kind of a worry wart and really wanted me to get a second opinion.....I went in that day (the 15th) to see another doctor....I guess I was really swollen....I didn't really notice it but yeah my feet and face and even my lips were swollen pretty bad.....All I knew was that I felt like absolute S***. I had a bad headache and just felt so sore and exhausted. Dr. Azelton took one look at me and after she took my blood pressure and realized it was so high she said that I needed to go home and get all packed and check into Labor and Delivery...I felt so sick to my stomach! I was nervous because I didn't want anything to be wrong with my baby! I started tearing up, and so did Jared....It almost felt surreal. She told me that with the preeclampsia my body was basically rejecting the pregnancy and that it was best to go ahead and have her.....Talk about a panic attack!........So we went home and packed everything up and ate some lunch (Peking's cashew chicken to be exact)....Then we headed to the hospital.....I checked in around 4 pm that day.......They got me hooked up to iv's and baby monitor.....I was going to be induced the following morning....They also got me started on Magnesium because of being preeclamptic (it's a muscle relaxer to keep me from having seizures)...That stuff straight up made me feel like even more crap...I got all hot and uncomfortable.....Well later that night they informed me that they were going to start to give me an oxytocin pill (I think that's what it was called) to start to thin my cervix....I thought I would just take the pill by mouth or something (the joke was on me), but NOOOOOOOOOOOO she actually had to go around the babies head and insert it into my cervix.......NO pain meds....It was the worst pain I ever felt in my entire life....(It hurt worse than the pushing itself)..I would rather be shot in the back 10 times....They gave me that dang pill 4 different times...And two of the times they had to go in TWICE because they dropped it.....I literally bawled my eyes out and shook every time they walked in the room to give it to me.......So bad! I never wanna feel that again!!!......Around 3 am I started having contractions......At one point I went into the bathroom to pee and just sat there for like 30 minutes crying my eyes out because I hurt so bad!!! The nurse came in and told me I had to get back into bed so they could continue monitoring Emerie.....She realized I was not gonna sleep so she put some "good stuff" (not sure what) in my iv and I guess I instantly started snoring........If it wasn't for her giving me that stuff that night would of never ended!!!!!!! I woke up in the morning and around 10 they gave me my epidural....I was so relieved!! I couldn't feel the contractions as much with it but I definitely still felt quite a bit of pressure some of the time....But I would recommend an epidural to EVERYONE! So nice.....People came in and out all day and I kind of wish I would of not let anyone in there.....I was so swollen and felt HORRIBLE and kind of felt drugged up because of the mag.....(Next time I have a baby noone will be in there prior!!) I can't remember what time they broke my water, but I will guess it was like 5 pm or so that day (saturday).....There was some meconium in the water, which isn't a good sign....(it means the baby pooped inside and could potentially get some of it in their lungs)....So that freaked me out too.....They kicked everyone out of the room besides mom and Jared at like 6:30 or so....I started pushing at like 7:30.....Pushed for 2 hours.....I had back labor and a migraine the whole time...That sucks even worse!!!!!!!!!......Something that really ticked me off was 1. the blood pressure thing going off WHILE I was having contractions and pushing and 2. a nurse came and drew my blood while I was pushing!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about me getting so mad!! I remember they kept telling me "she's right there! I can see her head!" or "one more push"...I think I heard those phrases 100 times........The last push I did was the last push I was gonna do.........After that I was DONE.....Luckily that push did it and she flew out ( LITERALLY).......Jared caught her....I remember seeing her for the first time and all the "hell" I went through didn't matter.......I wasn't worried about the pain I undergone or anything else........I cried and was so happy! She was the most beautiful and perfect baby a mother could ask for! And I was so excited to hear her SCREAM as she came out! I was so paranoid that her lungs wouldn't of been developed or whatever but her lungs were PERFECT and also she didn't get any meconium in them either, which was a relief....She was born at 9:36 PM...19 1/2 inches long....5 lbs 1 oz....So perfect......Yes my pregnancy was so hard and my labor sucked, but once she was here I didn't care......It was worth every bit of it....We did have to stay in the hospital 5 nights because she dropped weight down to 4 lbs 10 oz and had a little bit of jaundice, but other than that she was so healthy!.....So I am so blessed and happy to have her in my life :)
