Time Table

April 29th, 8pm: Bloody Show Time!

8:10pm: Texted midwife, she wasn't worried, light contractions start about 8 min. apart

For the rest of the night we cleaned and then went to bed. I slept until about 4am

April 30th, 4am: Timed contractions for an hour. One set was on the 8 min. mark and another set varied between 7 and 2 min. from the previous set.

5am: I get up and start cleaning, finish some thank you cards, get on Facebook, eat 2 popsicles and continue to labor.

7:30am: I text my midwife again that I think maybe contractions have started (haha. Lol. Duh.) She said she'd come in about 30 min. I took a shower and then did my hair and make-up in full contraction on the bathroom floor. 

8:00am: The midwife and her assistant show up and get things ready for my exam.

8:10am: Exam- 5-6 cm dialated (She doesn't tell me this-thank God- but expresses that they are not leaving and they put Chris to work immediately.

Around 9-10am: The pool is ready and I spend the rest of my labor enjoying the water, joking with Chris and eating a lot of Sonic Ice.

Around 10:45am: My water finally breaks and I "begin" pushing phase (Pushing for real this time!)

11:00am: Head is born

11:01am: Baby River is born

11:08am: Cord is cut by Daddy Chris

11:25am: Placenta is born and a whole slew of other things happening around me that I just don't seem to notice :)
