The next few months were very hard months. I had a lot of complications, but I kept working thru them all.
The doctors just told me I needed to relax and not get all stressed out. I am a psychologist no stress right.
Vince told me that I should get an intern for the remainder of my pregnancy, someone who could fill my shoes until I got back from leave. When I was eight months along we hired Jill. Jill was fresh out of school, so we thought she would be a good person to train the way that we wanted her to be. She was great; she bonded with the guys and girls quickly.
It was December 20th and I started to go into labor. I was at ring side with Matt fighting C.M. Punk. Punk had Matt in our corner and I told Matt I was going to the back because I was not feeling well. He told me ok and the fight continued. Jeff was in the back when I came back and doubled over. He asked me what was wrong. I just told him that I was in labor. He asked me if I told Matt and I told him no, I didn't want to stop the match. Matt won the match.
When he came back he found me with Jeff doing some breathing exercises. Matt, I think it's time to go to the hospital. I am in labor. When we got to the hospital I was dilated to four. The hospital prepped me for delivery and Matt was right there by my side, holding my hand, rubbing my back and feeding me ice chips. Matt just asked me what he could do for me, just told him to remember what we learned at the Lamaze class and every thing would be ok, unless I asked some thing different of him. My labor was very hard and long. Matt did not leave my side, just like he promised. I had awful back labor, Matt rubbed my back with the tennis ball that the nurse provided for us, and this created some relief. I had an epidural when I was dilated to about five; this brought some edge off of the contractions. I went from five to ten in a matter of twenty minutes. That's it was time for the baby to come out. The doctor said that the baby's head was crowning. I told Matt to look in the mirror so he could see every thing if he wanted to. Then with the next contraction the head came out a little more. The doctor told me to start to push. This is where I really started to say things I did not mean to Matt. He helped me push and do our breathing exercises for pushing. The doctor asked Matt if he wanted to cut the umbilical cord. Matt said yes.
When it was all done and over with we had a bouncing baby boy. 6lbs 7oz. named Andrew Moore Hardy.
When the nurse was checking Andrew out to make sure he was ok and brought him over to me, Matt and I just stared at him in amazement. I let Matt hold him for a few minutes. Then I took him back and tried to breast feed him right away, he latched on for dear life. I just looked at Matt and said we make beautiful children together don't we?
Matt came over to the side of the bed and sat down by me and helped me cradle Andrew while I fed him.
Matt put his arm around my shoulder and told me he loved me and would I marry him.
This question was so unexpected. I said yes right away and asked him if it was because he loved me or just our children, he said both. He loved me with all of his heart.
I asked him if he wanted a small wedding or a big wedding.
He told me that was up to me, it was our first wedding and he wanted it to be special for both of us.
I told him maybe just a nice court house wedding and a big reception in a hall at one of out stops along the road, when we have the next couple of days off, Is that ok with you. We can have all three rosters there. We don't really need a honeymoon right away. We can take one at a latter date. Especially with me breast feeding. I breast fed Adam for Six month's, well for three month's but then I pumped four three.
Matt asked me when he could start feeding Andrew. I said right away, you can help me, by getting me my special pillow and bringing him to me and helping me hold him, then in a month or so you can help supplement his feedings with formula or pumped breast milk. You will be a big help during the night feedings, since you don't like to go to be until around three a.m. any way. Which I would suggest changing your sleeping habits because of Andrew. You missed all of the screwed up feeding times with Adam. So just take my word for it sleep when you can oh no that's me, you can take care of Adam while I sleep.
Matt said I plan to be there with you every step of the way; you just need to tell me what to do when.
Oh I plan on it. I will not have to do it alone, I am so happy. I love you so much Matt.
I love you too Andria.
With that being said, Aunt Beth and Uncle Jeff came to visit bearing gifts. Jeff quickly turned around when he seen me breast feeding. I said to him, Jeff turn around you have seen one breast you have seen them all. With that I asked Matt to hand me the receiving blanket in the diaper bag. I put it so it covered my breast and shoulder. Uncle Jeff had brought a Jeff Hardy shirt. Matt said he expected nothing less from his brother. (Chuckling) I swatted Matt and said I think it's cute. Uncle Jeff loves his new nephew. Just then the nurse came and took Adam so he could be checked out and be cleaned up and while there he fell asleep. I got very little sleep because I kept getting visited by different roster members, I got flowers and Andrew got wrestling shirts in all different sizes. You got to love the WWE we are one big happy family. All the children from the daycare drew pictures for me. Shawn brought a bank for Andrew and every one was putting money in it.
Matt, remember all those bad things that I said to you when I was in labor. Yes Andria I do why. I didn't mean them you know that don't you. Yes my love I do know that you didn't mean them, I figured that out. With that I fell asleep for awhile. Matt just stayed there and watched me sleep and kept crowd control quiet, but it didn't work every time some one came into the room I would wake up. When Stephanie and Hunter were there the nurse brought Andrew in to the room so I could feed him. I asked Matt for my pillow and the blanket. I positioned Andrew just right and again he latched like he did before. I was so happy he was a natural breast baby. Stephanie said that she was so jealous that I got to breast feed because with her schedule it didn't allow it.
Hunter seen the bank that Shawn had brought and teased Matt, what can't you afford another mouth to feed so you are taking up a collection. (Laughing)
No Shawn brought it to start a college fund for Andrew. (Tiredly)
Dude I was only kidding with that Hunter threw a twenty in the bank. Hunter and Steph brought me flowers with a teddy bear attached and a couple of out fits for Andrew. Hunter and Steph also went to build a bear work shop and got a bear and put a King of Kings t-shirt on it. I thought it was just the cutest thing in the world. It even had personalized voice control with Hunter saying "Behold I am the king of kings".
It was about eight o'clock and visiting hours were done. Matt could tell that I was drained from the day's events. He told me try and get a little rest before the next feeding which should about ten o'clock. I told him he needed some rest also. He could pull out the father's bed or he could lay by me if he wanted to. He got up on the bed next to me; I fell asleep almost right away. The next thing Matt woke me up it was feeding time, Matt had my pillow ready for me on the bed and he had Andrew in his arms. Matt handed me Andrew and sat on the bed to hold me while we fed him, Matt changed his diaper.
When we were done we both walked the bassinet back to the nursery. The nurse was happy to see me up and walking to the nursery, but was concerned about me walking back to my room, Matt told the nurse that he would make sure I would get me back safely and put me to bed. When I was back in my room the nurse came to check on me, she had to her normal routine things on me and then she finally let Matt I and go to sleep, to get sleep before the one o'clock feeding.
The next day the Doctor came in and the nurse told him that I walked to the nursery last night. He said that Andrew and I were cleared to go home today.
When we got home Jeff and Beth had the Nursery all set up for Andrew, because we did not have a chance to set up the crib before we went on the road this last time.
The next six weeks were actually very easy we let Andrew wake up to let us know when he wanted to be fed; it was like every four hours. At my six week check up the Doctor cleared me to go back to work and told me it was ok to take Andrew with me.
