We have a baby! who guessed Mothers day?
I went to bed a little after midnight saturday night, after making 2 huge layer cakes on a whim for mothers day... well... at 1:30 ish i woke up cramping badly, and then again a few minutes later... right ftrom the start i was 6-7 minutes apart. i waited a while to make sure they weren't gonna ytaper off on me, but at 3ish they wer 5 minutes apart, and we called the midwife and went the half hour drive to the hospital. we got there at 330, and coontractions were coming faster, but i have no clue how fast, and my midwife checked and said i was very strecthy and thin and between 7-8 cm...
i knew ahead of time that this time i did not want any drugs, and we had a completely intervention free, drug free water birth, attended by my midwife, my mom, dh, and DS (who did great, and apparently is the only person i did not scream and yell at), and just one nurse who held the flashlight at the end.
And at 5:16 AM, just under 2 hours after getting to the hospital, our new baby was born. 7 pounds 12 ounces, 19 inches long, and....
