Sophia Clara Howe decided she wanted to here for Christmas this year and not wait till next year.
Sophia was born December 23, 2013 at 10:07 pm
She was 5 lb 3 oz and 17 3/4 inch's long
I hope you are all in the mood for a long story with a TON of pictures.
About a week before she was born I was having some back pains, but didn't think anything
about it, I figured it was the uncomfortable back pain I hear about all the time.
Saturday my lower back was killing me!
The pain would come and go but it was slowly getting worse,
I had heat packs and stretches I was doing to try to relieve some pain, but it just kept coming.
That night I tried to sleep but I had menstrual cramps, at this point you would think
that it would hit me that this is probable not normal... It didn't.
Sunday morning we went to church and I was still having back pains, but they would come
and go and then sometimes they weren't so bad.
We had a family Christmas party Sunday night I just had a hard time sitting and my back
really started to hurt.
Monday morning came and I got up and went to work, by noon I asked if I could go home
for the rest of the day because my back was just killing me. Thankfully I have a wonderful boss
and she let me go home.When i got home I tried everything nothing seemed to relieve my back pain.
By 4 I was done, I called the Dr. and asked if this was normal and they said for
me to come in and get checked out and put on a monitor.
I called Breon to let him know what was going on, I told him not to stress out about leaving work because
they were just going to monitor me and send me home, to get some rest. Little did I know!
The Doc. gets me all set up and lets me sit in a room for 20 mins to give it time to monitor me. To my surprise Breon was able to leave work and was there in 20 minutes! ( He drove really fast!)
The Doc. came back in and was surprised to see that I was having contractions, a lot of contractions! He decided it was a good idea to get check out and make sure I wasn't dilating. So he does the check and looks us, and says I am dilated to a 7 and 100% efaced. And that we are having a baby right now!!!!! WHAT?!?!
Breon and I were in a daze, we were so surprised, excited and scared out of our minds. We are not ready for this yet, she isn't suppose to come for 6 more weeks!
What is so nice about having an OB's office connected to the Hospital is that it took 3 minutes to get to our delivery room.
5:30 pm I am hooked up to everything and just getting comfy, by this time my back pain was getting a little worse, I guess it gets worse once they broke my water.
6:45 pm I got my epidural. It really was not as bad as I thought it would be, the numbing shots were the only thing that hurt. The worse thing about it was the weird pressure at the beginning when they put it in. I was so annoyed with not being able to feel my legs!! ugh
9:50 Breon went out to get a nurse to come check on me and the baby, nurse checks and she can see the head, its time to push
10:07 pm Sophia is here!!!!
She's here, she's here
Don't mind my messy hair, I did't really have time to make it pretty
Breon is the most AMAZING husband, and daddy!
I love this man!
Baby is here! YAY
She was bigger then anyone was thinking she would be!
The Doc thought she would be 4 1/2 Lbs. Surprise almost a pound Bigger

No words can express my love for this man and the life we created
together. These two are my everything.
