wow...can't believe i did it!

[snugglebug14]

after almost 48 hours of labor, my beautiful baby boy is here. i had moments where i just wanted to give up. i was stuck in early labor for 30 hours and finally after a long walk and talking to dh about my fears, things pickup really quickly. things got stuck again around 5 cm but again we went for a walk and i talked to dh and to my midwife. two contractions later my water broke and within minutes I was in transition (which suprisingly was not at all that bad even though it was the thing i was most afraid of when my labor had stalled out) probably 15 minutes after my water had broken i was pushing my little boy out and what a feeling! anyways...i'll post a full birth story and pics soon. just want to let everyone know.
my little boy doesn't have a name yet but...
he was 8 lbs 20 in
born at 7:25 on july 16

Man, the babies are arriving fast and furious now! I wonder what the percentage of us are that have delivered vs. not at this point halfway through July...

Way to go, mama! Good for you for being able to voice your fears and move on through them... sounds very empowering, and I am really happy for your birthing! Must feel wonderful to have him in your arms now. Enjoy your babymoon!

Congratulations!! Transition is the thing I am most afraid of also. It's nice to hear you had a short one!
