He's here!
I am in labor. It started about 7 pm last night, and I've been up all night. Oh, this is tough. But I knew it would be...
I go back and forth with timing them. For a while they were 5 minutes apart pretty consistently. I called the midwife and she recommended I wait to come to the hospital until they were more like 3-4 minutes apart. I knew that was what I needed to do, but I needed to hear it.
I did make the mistake of calling the Labor Room and learned that there were no rooms available. Now I'm a little concerned about that...
I actually wrote this on Thursday morning. I never got around to posting it because, well, I was hurting pretty bad. So... our precious little boy was born on October 7th at 1:34 am. His name is Grayson George and he weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and is 19.5 inches long. My labor and birth were so blessed and the care I received at the hospital (my place of employment) was absolutely amazing. We brought our little boy home this afternoon, and oh, how life will be different. I will try to post pictures in the next few days and work on the ol' birth story.
