Well....We have a little BOY!
Hudson Rhoan made his appearance at 130am today-the 17th- after a very fast 1.5 hour intense labor. Once he decided it was time to come he came fast! He was born in water at home after a few pushes-sunnyside up to boot! He's 8#7oz and 22in long. I didn't even get a skid mark! I feel fabulous!
My after pains are pretty intense but other than that I'm just a bit sore.
The midwife just barely made it and my Dh was just awesome through the entire thing. His arms ache from all the hip presses he had to do.
Oh and Back labor SUCKS!!!! Yikes.....
Anyway, I'll post a birth story later. Just wanted to let you know we are all healthy and doing great...Hudson is very bruised in the face but that should go away in a few days.
Take Care and thank you all for your positive thoughts and encouragement.

I've had crampy's for the past 10 hours but not much more than BH type tightenings. But for the past 2-3 hours I've had annoying cx some really take my breath away and others are not so bad. I checked my cervix and it's very anterior now-was very posterior this morning- and when I pulled my fingers out there was blood tinged mucus on them(sorry if TMI). So I think this is it!!! My DH is on his way home from work and my mom is watching my son and making dinner for all! I'll try to keep you updated!
