Keeping with the theme this week, Cal, Cal, and more Cal, I thought I’d share Calvin’s birth montage video.
It contains nothing graphic; just a whole lot of sweetness and precious moments. I hope you enjoy.

After watching the completed video for the first time, I went back and re-read Cal’s birth story, which you too can read here if you would like.
Man, I really do love the whole birthing process and find it fascinating. I LOVE hearing other people’s birthing stories, so if you’ve got a good one to share, please do!
Happy Thursday!
I can’t view the video….
Did you try viewing it from a laptop or desktop?

Well my crazy story took place on March 12 around 3:45 am I was sleeping and all the sudden woke up I had the sudden urge to pee I stood up and water just started coming down and I just stood there in shock thinking did my water just break??
I called my doctor he instructed me to head to the hospital….. I then called my mom and she got up and said she was on her way….. I felt good no pain whatsoever soooo I decided to take a shower a quick one……
It was around 3:55am I was changing taking my time trying to get things ready then I felt my first contraction I took deep breaths within seconds another came and from then on every 30 seconds my contractions came and stronger with each one. I called my mom and she was on her way she lived about 25 to 30 minutes away mind you I decided to get on my knees and lean over my bed.
I just remember so clearly how I thought to myself ” how am I going to do this? I can’t do this ” the pain was sooo bad I have had the epidural with my two other kids so this time it was nada zip zilch! I thought I was going to die…. My two year old daughter ended up waking up from hearing me I wasn’t screaming I was just saying ouch. I was trying to be as quiet as possible (I was staying at my dads house for a couple of weeks ) I didn’t want to wake my dad and his kids up…..
I just kept asking my mom where she was and she was saying she was hurrying and she began getting worried it got to the point where I couldn’t speak anymore. I looked up and I saw my daughter just starring at me all confused. My dad came to my door and yelled at me to be quiet, WHAT??!!? No he didn’t I told him I was in labor he said no your not you are being dramatic. I wanted to cry like a little baby because he didn’t get it!
My mom said ” come out I’m just about there I told her I needed to go to the bathroom she said ” NO!!! That’s the baby!” I stood up and started walking to open my door I got only a few steps out my dad has a pool table by the front door as I walked I was having a contraction so I put my hands on the pool table and I told my dad the baby was coming and he said ” oh my god call an ambulance then!”
All of the sudden I yelled and I felt my baby come out I had sweat pants on thank god and my dad saw her head between my legs and he freaked and layed me on the floor and I pulled my pants down as I did that the baby flew completly out my mom seriously ran in the house and caught the baby right on time if not she would of hit the tile floor. My body started shaking by the shock I think and all I was thinking about was where is Alliah? My two year old I was worried because the front door was open and I could hear her cry and I couldn’t see her. Alliah was ok and I had my dad sit her next to me on the floor.
My dad called the ambulance they came within five mins and the they said the baby was perfect and they were in shock of what happened as well the only thing that they worried about was my oxygen level it was really low and I was slowly passing out. I was taken to the hospital I felt fine i had absolutely no pain at all I felt good actually.
This whole process was about half hour to forty minutes all together from when my water broke to me having her CRAZY HUH?!?!?! She wasn’t due for another week and I actually was getting induced the next day so she decided to get out herself a day early 🙂
Leana Mia Garcia was born on March 12 2012 at 4:17 am. On Leanas birth certificate it shows that she was delivered at my dads house and that my mom delivered her 🙂 I gave my mom the honor of naming her as well. To this day I still can’t believe I went through this all by myself. I am so happy everything came out ok and that she was healthy and full of color.
So that’s my story sorry it’s so long lol 🙂
