I did it.

A few hours after my last entry, at 2:41 AM, my water broke! I labored at home until after 6am when I couldn’t take it anymore and we left to the birth center. I felt the urge to push IN THE CAR, but Jason’s amazing coaching helped me deal (though not so gracefully–I roared through the contractions that came one on top of the other) and we got to the birthing center. When we got there, my midwife was waiting outside because she didn’t have a key! I ended up giving birth on the sidewalk only about what felt like 2 minutes after we got there. It was absolutely wonderful. we were at home in bed less than 5 hours later.

    What a great birth story! You have a beautiful baby (now much older — sorry I haven’t checked in in so long!).

    Congratulations. (from another mother of 2 boys)
