Oh doh! Well, I was wondering... See the bright side, it will give you a bigger breather between Christmas and birthday in the next years :rofl1:
So, I was at work yesterday, just not thinking of anything, when my water broke at 3 p.m. I slightly freaked out, obviously, and packed up to go home. Since I didn't have any contractions yet at all, I figured I'd take a quick shower and pack the last hygiene items for my hospital bag. All of the sudden a contraction hits hard... and about 3 minutes later another one. And y contraction I mean a strong contraction that took my breath away completely and made me feel like I had to push.
The hospital we picked is about 30 minutes away from where we live, but luckily there's another hospital in the network that's just 5 minute up the road. I told Dan that I didn't think I'd make it further. We rolled up to the emergency entrance at about 4.30 p.m. and they wheeled me right up.
Long story short, our baby boy was born on 5.25 p.m. And everyone told me first time moms have long labors! :yikes:
There was no time for any type of pain relief and because I went from 0 to 100, I have some extensive tearing (sorry tmi) that had to be stitched up, so I got my epidural after birth. Lol!
Anyway, please meet Finley Oliver. He weighed 7.5lbs and was 19 inches long. I can't describe how much in love I am with this little guy. He takes my breath away.

Jules is just a sneaky queue jumper and I have nothing else to say about that ner ner
Congratulations FG!
And I'm pregnant!!! Still. 42+2having daily monitoring and baby has been fabulous for the most part. I have a feeling it will be here before long. I hope I get a badge for being one of the 4% who go over 42 weeks.
