Title
I had my first child on February 18th 2011. He is 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long. I worked at a hotel as a housekeeper up until I went into labor; While I was in the hospital I gave myself the opportunity to feel contractions, I got up to a level 9 ½ in pain and then asked for an epidural, I believe I could of made it without one but there are several reasons i chose that option; A nurse forgot to press record on the video camera, it makes me mad; my husband cried as soon as our son arrived to this world; I did as well. "I wake up to him every day, handle his every need, love on him, spoil him, listen to his precious heartbeat. I coddle him in my arms and every night I get to watch him fall asleep. His significant little cry is ingrained in my mind. I shall forever recognize every tear, every weep, every scream. My worries are now endless. My heart feels like it could give out on me at any point in time. I cry like a big baby but, in the end all that matters is that I love him and will do anything I can to keep him happy, protected and loved because hey, I’m a momma now"-Alexus Perri
