Ezra Aren was born yesterday, 9/20, at 9:24am. He gave me my two wishes...
1. He came on his own.
2. He weighed less than 10 pounds. (9lbs, 13ozs)
Went into labor at 2am... contrax came like gangbusters fast and hard and we left for the hospital at 3:30am. By 4am I was nearly 5cm. (My first check)
Midwife on call was SO INCREDIBLE. I spent all that time worrying about my midwife being gone that day for NO REASON.
Anyhow, she left me to labor... and by 7cm I went for the epidural. Not sure when I was complete because the midwife let me go til I felt the urge to push. It didn't seem to come... so I had her check me and when she checked at 8:30am I was complete. Turned off the epidural and I started pushing at 9am.
Ezra was born 24 minutes later.
I had a small tear and overall, aside from needing sleep, I feel wonderful.
