Ryan arrived Saturday

Thread Starter 
12/20/08 6 lbs 12 oz 20" and kind of like an express train. My OB had told me "don't labor at home please as it could go fast this time"... dutifully I got to the hospital at 3 cm, my water broke some while later at 5cm (and boy did i miss it when it was gone) and although I wasn't watching the clock I can tell you it was a half hour from there to baby ('cause the nurse paged my OB when the water popped, he said he'd be there in a half hour, and missed it. oh the irony. Hey, not my fault this time.) DH was there for the pushing & birth this time which was nice (I was alone when transition started, called a nurse, and they paged DH to hustle back from the cafeteria.) Best part is that I didn't tear I don't know what gets the credit for that (just pushed when I felt like it and remembered to say "ahhh" like in the hypnobabies manual.)
