So I woke up Monday morn at 345 to e puking and dh had been poopy sick all weekend so as I am in the bathroom with e he told me, watch you go into labor now. As much as I LOVE his sunshiny optimism I felt weeks away. So I got e cleaned up and we all go back to bed, it was 350 and I was about to doze off when at 401 I felt that first one. Now I had been having ctx on and off for weeks but this one was different. Seven min later same thing and for the next hour every seven min I would have 30-40 sec contx, then the next hour they were every five lasting 45-50 sec. So at six oclock I call my mom who was coming that Thrus just to let her know, probably not anything but I know that she is busy Mondays and that I would have trouble getting her after about nine, well as soon as I get off the phone I went to the bathroom and sure enough bloody show and I had to poop! Guess it was go time so I call my MW and call mom back. I paced around doing little things that I wanted done and then I went back to lay down and about twenty minutes later at 730 when dh woke up I asked for his watch and he was like "why?" then he got the oh shit look and I had one and he knew. So he had to go to the store to get some things and while he was gone I started hard and e was puking barley out of reach to my left and the bowl was just out of reach to my right and the dogs let themselves in from the mud hole of a backyard and track all kinds of crap in, it was what I had always imagianed! So when dh gets back I am in full blown labor mud on the floor, puke in the kitchen and he got worried because the MW's were not due for another hour or so and I was two to three min apart. Well they got there within the hour and I was terrified when they checked me because I never really progressed with e and I was afraid that might happen again but who knew!? I was a good five easily streching to a seven, fully efaced and at a zero. I was stoked! I decided to lay down in bed for a few since I was progressing so well and rest and if I stalled I stalled but i didn't which was great. It was at this point that we got the pool ready and reliized that the liners I ordered three weeks ago still were not here so we sent dh out again to get some plastic from home depot and he decided to grab lunch for all thinking I would go like I did last time, slow. So he is gone about 40 min, when he got back I got in the bathtub, I needed water. At that point I hit transtion. SO they are working franticly on the tub filling situation and I am flying and by the time they had about two inches in the birth pool I deciced to lay on my side in the bathtub so my legs would not cramp from sitting cross legged in that little tub. Well as soon as I hit my side i felt him coming down,hard. It was so wierd that from transition on with each contx I could feel my body pushing om it's own. I never had to activley try and push the whole time. So they started bringing water from the birth tub to my tub to get the water higher and warmer since it had been leaking out, and dh is with e trying to open some new toy and we are trying to tell him that it is time and he actually yelled, " can you all hold on a sec?" I was just laughing, yeah I can hold on! MY ASS! so then I yell Nick there is a head here just so you know! And he books it in and I tell him to get e and just as they got back I had little man! We were all in shock, EVERYONE thought I was having a girl, and I never got a feeling one way or another. It was amazing and perfect!
SO he is here lil Junah Sanford Palmer, 8 lbs 10 oz, 21 inches, and perfect! A whole half pound smaller than e, he looks so puny!
I have NEVER felt so good post partum, I felt refreshed and alive and just unbelievable. I was good to go, even better than I felt the morn before!
