My Pride and Joy!
Adrian Jax Jimenez
I was 15 about to be 16 when i found out that i was pregnant. At first i didnt believe it, but the more time went by, the more real it all became. So i started becoming super excited to becoming a mom and, getting more used to the thought that in a couple more months that i will have a baby in my arms. at my 4 month check up i found out that i had a baby boy on the way. I remember asking the Doctor "are u sure, can you check again?" i wanted tto be completely sure so that i could start buying stuff for him. so once i reached around my 7 month marker. i went to a check up and i found out that i had gestational diabetes. and for those who dont know what that is, its when you have diabetes while your pregnant. So after that i had to go see a diet coach who taught me how to monitor what i eat so i dont have high blood sugars, she also taught me how to check my blood sugar using a needle and these strips that suck up my blood. It wasnt fun at first but i got used to it after awhile. One day on the 24th of january i woke up with this pain in my side and so i went to take a shower after i got out the pain was !0 times worse, i woke up my mom and i asked her why was i feeling this way she said to call my doctor and so i did so she told me time how far away my contractions were. They were about a minute apart and my doctor said these are not false contractions u need to come in cause it sounds like your gonna have your baby today. I remember just feeling so much uncomfortable pain but still i continued to get ready to go to the hospital. I remember my mom called my sister so we went to pick her up because she wanted to be there for the birth of her nephew. So we drove from rifle to glenwood. That was the longest car ride i ever felt in my life. I was just breathing and relaxing as much as i could and taking each contraction one by one. Once we got there i was rushed into the delivery room and they checked how far i was dilated. They told me i was fully dilated and it was time to push. A painful 2 hours of pushing later... i finally gave birth to my beautiful baby boy name Adrian Jax Jimenez weighing a full 6lb 5oz. :)
