I got out of bed at 4am (I'd pretty much been up since 11:30, since that's when Sam woke up to eat) because I started cramping badly. 20 minutes in the bathroom with contractions three minutes apart, and I knew I needed to call my parents to come down and watch the kids.

I got dressed, woke Brad up, then called my parents. Naturally, in the middle of an ice storm, it took a while. At 5:30, Brad called to check and see where my parents were, and found out they were stuck behind a snow plow, and were only able to go about 25 down the interstate.

So, we bundled up all three girls, and started out for the hospital. It took us almost 20 minutes to go the 6 blocks, because the roads were AWFUL. I got up to our room and went in to the bathroom to change. My water broke at 6:28, and at 6:35 my midwife checked me...I was 8. So, she suited up and then sat on the edge of the bed and told me to just let her know when I wanted to push. I started pushing at 7:05, and at 7:36, he was out and in my arms.

My midwife was phenomenal. She massaged me the entire time, so I had one skid mark. That's it! She was very mellow, barely spoke, and let me totally do my thing. My nurse was also a huge support, and very sweet and encouraging.

He nursed within about half an hour, latched on the second try, and nursed for 15 minutes. Then he slept for the rest of the day.

We're home, and doing great. 3 1/2 hours, start to finish, and I feel phenomenal. Yay! Such a great healing event from last time.

What a beautiful family!! He looks like he's got the same profile as his dad! He is really precious!

And what a story!! I am really happy that your birth was so healing, I am hoping for a healing birth for myself this time as well. Your midwife sounds like a gem! And I'm glad you all made it there safely even with the bad weather!
