I had my baby this morning after taking some castor oil (1 tablespoon) last night at 9 pm. I had been so constipated lately and figured with not having any progress in the last few weeks i didn't think it'd actually do anything to bring on labor. Down side was that I still haven't poo'd. 
But I guess he was ready to come after all. He weighs approx 11.2 lbs and was 19-20" long. Chubby little guy after my daughter was 7.8 and 21". I've been feeling great so far just a bit sore.
I woke up at 5:30 with cramps thinking i had to potty. Nothing, went to bed but couldn't get comfy so I got up, took a bath til about 6:30 or so and that gave some nice relief since I was feeling like it was all in my low back. Still thinking it wasn't contrax since they didn't feel nothing like this with Aria and my stomach never had the tightening feeling. After a while I realized that it was contractions and not just cramps and started working better to breathe through them and that helped immensely. I was starting to panic for a few minutes. I woke Dan up around 7:30 as the contrax were getting more intense but I had no idea he'd come that fast. Then my water broke about 8:10 or so and he came out feet first no problems at all and was fully out at 8:40. Dan caught him and cut the cord after all was said and done. The placenta delivered about 20 minutes later he's nursing like a champ and is so quiet! Most of the morning he was just chilling with me on the bed staying awake but quiet. Daniel got 3 or 4 pics of him coming out. I don't think i tore at all or very little if i did. DD slept through all of it and came in right after he was all the way out. We asked her his name and she said Trystan straight away so we're sticking with that one. So Trystan Rhys it is!
I am incredibly sore though. I just got the herbal bath in from Rajahkat (i can't remember the full sn) so i'll try soaking in that in a little bit.

:hopm ad What UAVs for calling CPS on you!!! If it were me and I knew who any of the people who called were I would delete them from my Facebook and tell them that they are no longer allowed to be a part of my life if they think I would purposely or ignorantly endanger my child's life.
It sounds like they saw that you and baby are okay, so everything is good now? I hope so.
