After a long night and day of sporadic contractions at home, things picked up at about 11:00pm last night. We decided to load up the kids and head to the hospital.
I felt like the pain was getting serious, but figured we'd get there in time to hang out in the room, watch some SNL, while working through some more contractions. I wanted to go in as late in the game as possible, but didn't want to hit the panic stage at home.
Amazingly, we arrived just in time, because we checked in at midnight...and the contractions piled on without relief until Simon flew into the world one hour later. Because he came out so fast and decided to bring a hand out up by his face, he bruised on the cheek and around his eyes. But, all is good and he is feeding like a champ! Such a quiet little guy. Isaac and Xander are both loving their new brother.
We were eager to get home, and got to check out later the same day. My best labor and delivery yet! Although, once again, after a non medicated labor and delivery, I curse that Eve for biting the apple and ruining labor for all women henceforth. I can never get over how freakin' mind blowing the pain is. My screams must have been heard quite some distance.
blah blah blah...I know, you just want to see some pics already...
