It all started Sunday at 8pm when my water suddenly broke (thank god not at work!) After that it was off to the hospital. To my dismay, when we got there I was only 1cm, this was going to be a long night. I did end up stalling out at 4cm and had to get pitocin. After that things kept going, but pretty slowly.
I had decided to try to do this all naturally, taking the hypnobirthing classes and everything. All went well until I hit the transition phase. Nothing can really prepare you for that kind of pain. But all is worth it and you end up with a cute little peanut in the end.

I'm so excited! I can't wait to see you and meet Andrik! I'll be in Salem May 1-3. Maybe I can head up your way to meet the little guy? : )
Have lots of fun. Don't worry about the dishes and housework, sleep whenever you can, and enjoy this time.
ps: I heard great things about the Hypnobirthing technique and want to get your feedback about it. Ben's sister-in-law did it and had two natural home births. I way applaud your efforts for natural childbirth, especially with Pitocin. I've been told all bets are off with the Pitocin because it makes things so much more intense. Atta-girl!
Kendall is so cute holding him. He looks like giant.
He is a precious little guy, and definetely The World's Cutest Nephew! Not that I have any type of bias. :)
