Here is a link to the birth montage: http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p...edium=text_urlOliver James was born at 5:55 at home, on Labor Day, after my water broke about 10:45. I had a very intense labor that ended with me pushing him out in about 15 minutes on the birth stool.
He was 10 lbs 9 oz! I was a couple of days shy of 42 weeks, and as an "illegal" VBA2C was facing transfer at 42 weeks.
Unfortunately, my placenta detached but was held behind the cervix, where I began having intense pain and increased bleeding after we tried everything for more than 2 hrs. I transferred to the hospital where they gave me a spinal to take out the placenta. Thankfully, I didn't need a full D&C, but rather a gentle (and painless due to the spinal) manual removal...the OB wasn't sure if it was accreta or what, but I and the midwife were sure it had detached at least partially.
I spent one night at the hospital with my non-admitted fat boy, and then we came home. He had some impatience with nursing last night, but by morning my milk is already in, and he's HAPPY!
He's a blessing!
I've totally been stalking your ddc waiting to hear the news! 
I'm so happy you're not waiting anymore. Oliver James is a lovely name.
