Elvis Presley - New Years Show, Pittsburgh Civic Center, 1976
youtube
Incredible amateur recording of the entire New Year's show at The Pittsburgh Civic Arena, December 31st 1976: "Final Countdown to Midnight". Regarded as one of Elvis' best concerts of the late 70's, he performed to a crowd of over 16,000 just months before his death. Ringing in his last New Year with a lively and loving crowd, Elvis took requests, shared the mic with fans, and delivered one of his most impressive (yet rarely sung live) vocal performances in "Rags to Riches". On that freezing winter night, Elvis' spirit burned bright. Happy New Year everyone~
āI would like to wish you all really a very happy and a prosperous new year, hope you have health and happiness, and that God be with you.ā
- Elvis Presley

Montys Labor & Delivery Story (Condensed)
I started having consistent contractions that were on average 3 mins apart at 10pm on the 2nd. 2 hrs later, while I was in bed trying to be quiet like a mouse, but in pain, my water broke at 1208am. Got to the hospital at 130am and when they checked me they said I was only at 3. Around 5am I asked for an epidural bc they made me nervous that when I actually needed it, theyād be busy and Iād have to wait a while. So even tho I didnāt need it yet, I was like GIVE ME DRUGSš
so I get it and around 6am Iām still at a 3. So they gave me pitocin. And theyād check me every 2 hours and Iād only have dilated 1 cm š«£ it was frustrating. But I watched the toy story marathon with Carmen and ate lemon popsicles, apple juice and ice water (but also just ice bc hospital ice is the best) for like 6 hoursā¦then I started throwing up. I was eating too much I think and the epidural didnāt like that. So I threw up once and I was like ok Iāll stop eating the popsicles. But I still want the apple juice. And then I remembered there was ginger ale. Took 2 tiny sips to see if I like it (I know nothing of the brand shasta so I had to analyze the taste š) IMMEDIATE NO. Threw it up in like 1 min. Cool. Iāll stick to waterā¦..threw that up too. FINE I WONT DRINK ANYTHING EVEN THO IM HUNGRY AND BECOMING DEHYDRATED. I totally fully became dehydrated and got an infection and finally by maybe 7pm I was at a 7 or 8 and I was likeā¦cool this should go quickly. Wrong. My cervix was being stubborn afā¦.. So theyāre flipping me from side to side. Omg btw PEANUT BALLS ARE AS MAGICAL AS THE INTERNET SAYS IT IS. Use iiittttttttt if you get an epidural and need to dilate. Itās amazing. Anyways. At around 9ish-Iām still only at 8 AND THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODYS EPIDURAL WORE OFF. So Iām feeling contractions at 8cm only on one side. But I was riding the waves and using my low voice for vibrations and pain relief. Anesthesiologists come and fix it but it takes about an hour or so for it to start working on my left side again. At about 10, Iām at a 9. But now I have bad acid reflux. And itās fierce. Rising in my stomach, into my throat and making me nauseous af and it was burning tf out of my throat. I was miserable. I almost hated that more than contractions bc I could manage contractions. I couldnāt manage the acid. I ended up throwing up twice of just gross bile. It was awful and I wanted to cry. They finally get me some tums, some acid reflux meds to put in my IV and nausea meds to put in my IV. Youād think after all that Iād be ready to push. Nope. 11pm Iām at 9.5cm. They have me doing practice pushes to see if maybe I can push pass the lip of my cervix that is being stubborn but they worry I may rip my cervix which they really donāt want. So we are waiting again, but getting nervous bc babyās heart keeps rising and falling with the contractions and Iām feverish bc of my infection but they give me antibiotics which is sort of helping but they only have a little bit of time to give me before they have to seriously consider a c section which I really didnāt want bc I was scared and also IM AT 9! So one of the nurses out my right leg up on the side table and we waited. She said back in the day, that used to work really well w a stubborn cervix. And IT DID. By 1215 I was ready to push and pediatric doctors came in as well as my labor and delivery team and they dropped the bottom of my bed off, pulled me closer to the edge, one nurse had a leg, Carmen had my right leg, I had my arms under both legs and I pushed this 9.5lb baby out in 10min!!!!!!!! Born 4 Dec at 1247amš It was such a dramatic labor in my opinion. But well worth it.
