My family on mothers day. Last year I was four days into motherhood & recovering from a c section, so needless to say it wasn’t a huge celebration. This year I got to spend it with not only my boys, but the in laws, mama, and Grammy! So thankful for them all.

This time last year I was feeling the first contractions that would eventually lead to a very very very long, painful, drug free labor, and ended with the sweetest baby boy being placed in my arms. Just remembering the first moments of labor brings back so much emotion. Not waking Chris because I was afraid he’d be too tired for work the next morning. Calling Grammy at 1am after 2 hours of consistent contractions and bawling my eyes out. I was excited, anxious, nervous, scared, and ready. Waking my husband up & the look on his face as he hurriedly put on MY tshirt ready to go. Thankfully he changed out of the belly shirt when he realized his mistake. And then the drive. Oh, the drive…he drove so fast & every bump made me think I was going to deliver Cole right there in the car. The possum that ran out in front of us finally slowed him down. Of course we parked on the “hospital” side not remembering the ER side is where we would have to enter. I waddled to the service desk & proclaimed I was in labor and unlike the treatment you think you deserve, I was asked the same personal & insurance info I had already answered when we pre-registered. I breathed my way through contractions while sounding out my social, DOB, and other information. Finally they held the button down and allowed us through the doors. On the elevator I had a huge contraction that knocked the breath out of me. And as we crossed over into the labor & delivery unit, I finally understood we wouldn’t leave there until we had our son in our arms. Labor was rough. That’s an understatement. I laid there all day in that meaningful pain knowing each contraction brought me closer to my baby. Then the pushing began & it lasted for 3 full hours. I was doubting my body & it’s ability to deliver my baby. I was heart broken at the thought of having a c section. But it was all put to rest when my husband took my hand and prayed for not only us, but our son who was so close to being here. We both cried as we prayed & believed that what we were fixing to do was all in God’s plan. And as they made me part ways with him so I could be prepped, my nurse held my hand, hugged my neck, and at the most appropriate time took my hands in hers and prayed the most beautiful prayer I’ve heard. At that moment I knew God was there in that OR. And shortly after my husband was placed at my side & took my hand. Moments later our life changed instantly when our son entered into this world & used those powerful lungs. Tears of joy streamed down both of our faces. We were a family. The mama & daddy to little 8lb 1oz 21 1/2 inch long baby Cole Christopher Pendley. And our life will never be the same. He is happiness, he is love, he is joy, and best of all he is ours

Hey Audrey, Thanks for the message. I've got a couple follow up questions. For the people who order online and have their orders shipped directly to them, is there a shipping charge? For those who order through me, is that all shipped to me and then I distribute? Do i mail you or email you the orderforms? What methods of payment do you accept? Thanks! I'm pretty sure I want to d thins, but I do want to check with a couple of friends to make sure they would order something from me lol.
