It began at about 4:00 in the morning. Contractions, nothing major or insistent, but not leaving either. The day progressed. At around 8:30 I thought my water was leaking. Off to the Midwives we go to get that checked. Baby is fine, maybe just a small or high leak. Watch it as the day goes on, but we think you are in labor for sure this time.
I spent the day watching Jason make a small patio in the front of my house. Forgot the sun was strong, that explains the farmers tan. About 5:30 call a friend to help give me a blessing. Is this baby ever going to come! 6:00 lets go get pedicures. Off I go with Julie Ann, and Valerie. Cute toes, now I'm hungry where should we eat? On second thought take me home, this is starting to hurt.
Jason, I think we need to go to the birth center now. Get Rachael to babysit, drive to Cleburne with Julie Ann, and Valerie in tow. Arrive about 8:20. Man this is really hurting!
dilated to a 4. What! it feels like more than that!
Contractions come faster, and harder. Oh Mama! That HURTS!
7 cm. Lift the belly, get in the tub, Oh that feels better, for about a second.
9:54pm, My water just broke! PAIN!!!!!!
Her heads out!
One more push, She's here, she's perfect! 9:56 pm.
Thank you Jason, Midwives, Julie Ann, and Valerie. I couldn't have done it without you.
