Caleb Elvis O'Rear was born a week early on January 17 at 8lb 4 ounces. He picked an interesting time to decide that he was ready considering that his mother and father had stayed up all night. When we decided to go to bed it was 2:30 in the morning. I had taken two benedryl and my husband a melatonin. About five minutes after I had laid in the bed I heard a popping noise and then a gush of water preceded afterwards. Needless to say I yelled,"Larry! My water broke!"
I was in labor about fourteen hours when the nursed decided that if I don't progress in the next two we need to have a c section because it was getting to dangerous. After hour 17 and only dilated at a three centimeters I had the surgery. First of all it was the most nerve racking thing ever! I cried! I had to rebuke a million thoughts about the medicine wearing off. But my God continued to be his typical amazing self and made sure everything went perfectly!
Having my boy was one of the most amazing, world wind, tiring, fulfilling experience in my life.
Now let me talk about something a little more inspirational pertaining to this story.
During my pregnancy, I had prayed and confessed for an easy NATURAL labor. Obviously that did not happen and that left me a little bitter. Until one day I thought about all the things that could have happened if I did perceded to have him naturally, such as a stillbirth, tearing, or loosing my life and my baby especially since I had been told that I have a small pelvic area. Needless to say I had some repenting and some thanking to do. It just makes me aware that when I am trusting and beleiving God for something and it does not happen it is because he has something better, or in this case easier and life saving. God always has my back.
