Wooow it was finally here.. The day we were going to meet our new baby! We were so excited we couldnt stop smiling, although we were a little bit scared because Stockton was going to be five weeks early and we didnt know what to expect we were still trying to hope for the best! I remember the day he was born perfectly.. I got up and Showered...SHAVED lol, dried and straightened my hair, put my makeup on, and got to spend time with my mom and Ben for the last time in peace and quiet. THe thing I was the most nervous for was what Stockton was going to look like.. Everyone was teasing me that he was going to come out with a head full of red hair so i was pretty nervous lol. So the time had come for the delivery to begin and they wheeled me into the C-Section room and they gave me my spinal block and when they did that they asked Ben to step outside the room until it was finished (which was good cause he would have passed out at the sight of the needle.) As Ben stood outside waiting and I was on the operating table so many things were running through my head i was just happy to have this over and done with.. I was finished waiting! The baby was out in a flash I couldnt believe it, it was so wierd feeling them inside my stomach but hearing the baby crying was such a relief and to hear that he was doing great and coming up to the room with us was so amazing.. I really dont think I could have been any more happier.. When the doctor finally finished sewing me up and they wheeled me up to the room I looked over to see Ben holding the baby I had never more in love with Ben before as I was in that moment. Watching Ben kiss and gaze at Stockton made me feel so proud knowing how much he loved him already. NOW it was my turn to finally hold Stockton for the first it.. As Ben placed him in my arms I suddenly became so overwhelmed that I began to cry... It was all over he was here and safly swaddled up in my arm, what a joy it was and such an amazing feeling that was definately a first for Ben and I. STOCKTON REED LEON MARTINEZ 12/10/2009, 6lbs 1oz, & 17 inches long!! Atlast our baby boy was healthy, here, and life was never better than it was in that moment.
