It has been two years since you last seen us. My son, Brendan Mathew, is now seven and will start second grade in a few weeks. My other son, Braeden Karson, is now two. Spencer's music career has been booming and he is pretty successful and popular if I say so myself. I'm still doing the Good Morning LA talk show, with Josh Peters. I was really close to quitting a year ago, but I decided not to and I'm happy I didn't.
My dad is still alive, but his cancer has gotten worse. Doctor's think this could be the last year we have with him. Gabe graduated from Florida University in May, and he majored as a computer engineer, which I was surprised about. PJ and Skylar finally had a child together, a daughter, name Juliana Abigail. PJ also opened his own restaurant recently in the Denver area and hoping to expand if it is successful.
Nine months ago, I also found out I was pregnant again with our third child, a daughter. We decided to name her Cassandra Marilyn. Spencer and I recently moved into a new, bigger, safer house since his music career is booming and there are many crazies that come with showbiz. We also needed more space for our new little addition.
Wednesday August 3, 2022
1:51 AM
I woke up, finding myself and the bed around me all wet. I could feel water dripping down my leg as I lay in my bed. First thing I thought was did I really pee myself? But I realized my water broke when I could immediately feel the contractions.
I look over at Spencer who was sound asleep. I didn't want to wake him, especially when he has been super busy prepping for his new album release but I knew I had to. I started to push him but he wouldn't wake.
"Spencer." I said pushing him harder. "Wake up." I kept pushing him. "WAKE UP!"
I saw Spencer move and he slowly opened his eyes. "Teddy, what time is it?" He asked going back to sleep.
"Spencer please don't go back to sleep. My water broke."
He breathed in deeply and breathed out. "What did you say?" He asked again opened his eyes.
"Spencer, my water broke."
"What." He said more alert. "Your water broke, how long ago?"
"Like ten minutes ago. We need to go to the hospital."
"What about the kids?"
"You call the doctor and I'll call one of our friends. If we can't find anyone, we can just leave them here since they are sleeping."
Spencer yawned and got out of bed. "Alright."
I grabbed my phone off the charger and scrolled through my contact list. I called our sitter, Denise, who normally watch Brendan and Braeden when we are both busy.
"Alright babe, he's going to meet us at the hospital." Spencer said putting on a shirt. "Did you find someone to come over?"
"Yeah, Denise will be here in a little bit but she said we don't have to wait for her."
"You feel okay to leave our boys here alone for a little bit?"
"They're sleeping, we're gated; they'll be safe. Plus we can watch them through the home security system on our phones until she gets here." I breathed out. "We really need to go."
Spencer walked over to me and helped me up off the bed. He grabbed my hospital bag and we headed out. I sat in the car staring out the window.
"Let's go have ourselves a baby." I murmured to myself.
When we got to the hospital, we got into the elevator and went up to the third floor which is the delivery floor. Spencer signed me in and a nurse showed us my room. She handed me a hospital gown to put on. After putting it on, I got into bed and the nurse put an IV in my arm and hooked me up to the machines to watch my and the baby's heart beat.
"Spencer, can you hand me my phone. It's in my purse."
"Here you go."
I texted my boss to tell him I wouldn't be coming into work later this morning and then I texted Josh to tell him. I saw my doctor walk in so I handed Spencer back my phone.
"Hello Teddy, ready to have the baby?" He asked.
I gave him a slight smile and nodded.
"And the contractions?"
"Hurting like hell."
"Well it looks like you are about four centimeters dilated." He took of his gloves. "I'd say you should have the baby by eight or nine this morning. So get some sleep."
I nodded. "Okay, thanks."
Spencer walked over to me and gave me a kiss. "Deliver us a healthy, beautiful daughter."
I gave him a slight smile and slowly closed my eyes to get some rest.
4:27 AM
"It hurts so bad." I cried. "I… I want the epidural."
Spencer rubbed my back. "Baby, remember how you wanted to do this one all natural. You can do it."
"No, No I can't, it hurts too much."
"I believe in you Hun, you are strong and can do it." He continued to rub my back. "Just keep your mind on our daughter and not the pain."
I saw my doctor walk back in to check on me.
"How you doing, Teddy?" He asked.
I rolled back over onto my back. "It hurts so much."
"I know you wanted an all natural birth but would you like the epidural because that can be arranged?"
I breathed in and then out shaking my head. "No, I'll survive."
The doctor put some gloves on to see how many centimeters dilated I am. "You are about six centimeters, four more to go." He took his gloves off and threw them away. "I'd say you should have this little baby by eight or nine." He got up and left.
"Can you handle four more hours of this, baby, just four more hours.
"I'll try."
8:39 AM
The doctor came in a few minutes ago and told me it was time to start pushing. He came back in followed by a few nurses. A nurse put my legs on the leg guard and told Spencer to hold my left leg back. The doctor put the spotlight on my vagina.
I was pushing for for twenty minutes. I was basically screaming because of the pain of the baby coming out of my small canal. The pain was exceptional, I was crying. The doctor told me to push one more time. I screamed as I felt him pull the baby out.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" The baby went. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
I cried when I heard the baby cry. The nurse placed her on my chest and cleaned her up. One of the nurses took the baby over to weigh and measure her. Cassandra Marilyn Walsh was born at 9:02 AM on August 3, 2022. She weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces. The nurse brought her back over to me wrapped in a blanket wearing a pink hat.
"She's beautiful." Spencer said. "She looks just like you."
Cassandra has very thin blonde hair like me. I bent down and kissed the top of her head. "I love you my sweet little Cassandra."
Spencer took a few photos of us and sent it to our friends and families. I handed her over to Spencer so he could hold his daughter. Spencer gave his daughter a little kiss on her face. "I love you, daddy's little princess."
"I thought I was your princess." I joked.
"No, you're my queen."
I chuckled and held my arms back out to hold my daughter.
A few hours later, Des stopped by to meet her.
"Oh My Gosh, Teddy!" Des exclaimed walking in. She walked over to me and I handed her the baby. "She's so precious. What are you guys naming her again?"
"Cassandra Marilyn."
Des sat down in the chair next to the window holding her. "Where's Spence."
"He left to be with the kids. He's bringing them by later to meet her."
"She is so cute. Will Cassandra be your last?"
"I have no idea. Spencer wants a lot of kids so we'll probably have at least one more." Des handed her back to me. "How are you and Josh?" I asked.
"Oh my gosh, thank you for setting us up."
"You know, when I went to Denver University, I always thought you and him would be a perfect couple. But you know, ya'll went to different colleges so it wouldn't have worked."
Des took her phone out. "I need to go. He wants to take me out tonight."
"Well have fun."
"I will bye and congratulations again."
"Thanks."
When she left, Spencer and the kids walked in.
"I'm back and I brought the kids."
I smiled. "Brendan, Braeden, come meet your new sister." I said. They both walked over and stood next to me. "This is Cassandra, your new little sister."
"Mommy, I wanted a little brother." Braeden said.
"Well, you got a sister instead who loves you."
"Mama, can I hold her?" Brendan asked.
I patted down a spot next to me on my bed. "Sit right here and you can hold her." He climbed onto my bed and scooted next to me. I gently placed his sister in his arms. "Isn't she cute?"
"Yeah." He bent down and gave her a kiss.
"Aw, do you love her?"
He nodded which made me happy.
"Daddy, what's her name?" Braeden asked.
Spencer bent down and picked her up. "Cassandra. Will you guys be good big brothers to her, protect her and watch over her?"
"The best!" Braeden exclaimed.
