On a beautiful and sunny day in August of 2007, the 19th to be exact, Mya arrived. She was reluctant, my water broke on Friday at 3am, I didn't get contractions until Saturday at 9:30pm and had her after a mere 19 hours at 4pm. I tried and tried and she's just kept on going back. In the end the doctors let me push for 5 hours, which is unheard of, but I didn't want forcepts, vacuum or c-section so they let me push. There were many other more serious cases to deal with at the time and they said I was very determined (I think they meant stubborn). Anyways, she graced us with presence without a cry or whimper. Mya Elizabeth Wotton, weighed 6lbs 8oz and was 20 inches. She was and is perfect. We were pretty excited, we had this little being who seemed so perfect. Did I mention she had jaundice and slept a lot. We had to take all of her clothes off and tickle her feet to keep her awake during a feeding. Poor kid had to have her blood tested each day for the first 5 days of her life. But she barely cried.
