Possibly in Labor! Updated! Baby is Here

Well, I think this could be it! Been having contrax it seems for days, but really picked up this last hour. I HOPE HOPE HOPE it isn't another false alarm.

You'd think with baby #5 I'd know what to expect, but I have never had labor start without my water breaking before contrax started, so I really don't know what to expect.

Today is DH's birthday, and he and all our kids went over to my parents for a family party, so I am home alone, which is great for now.

This is baby #5 for me, too, and I've been "in labor" many times over the past two weeks, and still don't have a baby - so I know what you're talking about.

Good luck! I hope this is it for you.

My midwife just got here. I am 5 and a half dialated and 100% effaced and have a bulging bag! I'm going to take a nice shower! My hubby is on his way home but my parents are keeping all the kids. I'm so excited!

Adella Rose was born this morning at 2:22 am. She is 21.5 inches long and 8 lbs even. She was born at home.

It was by far my longest and hardest delivery, but I guess I have been pretty lucky thus far. Everything still went well and I am so grateful for my beautiful baby girl.

More details to follow... I'm still pretty beat. Thanks for all the good labor vibes! I'm so glad to be done.:
