HI AUNTIES!!!!
Ok. So Tuesday was my due date and I was kind of bummed. I came home from work early, thinking I would just take a nap and pretty soon my due date would be over, and I could go on about the business of being SUPER pregnant.
I got home from work around 2 pm and started having a couple of random contractions. I called Mark at 4 and told him I was having a few, nothing major, but that he should get home so we can go vote so I can go to bed.
He pulled into the driveway at 5pm, right as my water broke! Like, BROOOOKE! All over the place! Mark got in the house and I was standing there in the hall, probably looking VERY confused.
Then, it got INTENSE! Contractions 3-4 minutes apart, and then 2 minutes, and then right on top of one another. We called the midwife. She got there pretty quickly. I was basically ready to start pushing after she had only been there about half an hour.
Mark and Molly were AMAZING! They were like, the Super human Duo! Molly was running up and down the stairs, helping Mark get the pool filled up at the same time as she was making casserole, so everyone would have dinner! hahaha!
They BARELY got the pool filled up, I jumped in, pushed FOUR times, and the little guy SHOT out (just like you said, Stella!) at 7:55pm! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO QUICK!
I couldn't believe how quickly it all happened and I was SO happy to be in my house. My midwives were amazing and Mark and Molly were like, birth super heros. I'm not even kidding.
So, I bet you wanna see some photos now, eh? Here's a few.
Mom, Dad and Baby X (yeah, yeah, he still doesn't have a name) a few minutes after he swam out:
EIGHT POUNDS AND SIX OUNCES! WOAH BABY!
I'm so hot.
Molly is the BEST big sister!!!!
