It's a...

BOY!!!
Happy Birthday Brooks Nicholas M. !!!




To say today was crazy was an understatement.
I actually heard my water break around midnight
Started contracting around 2am- but not really, it was just like severe menstrual cramps
Went to the OB at 9 am, was 3 cm and -1 station
Went home, contractions were getting worse but still bearable and like bad bad cramps but i could walk them out. Suddenly at 11ish they suddenly got unbearable and I felt ill. At 11:20 I vomited and told eric that is it, we are going to the hospital

We arrived at the hospital around noon. Got checked in and monitored, at 12:30 they checked me- I was 4 cm dilated. Suddenly I was in screaming agony, I even asked for an epidural. At 1 they checked me again and I was an 8- they rolled me into delivery, checked me again (this is 5 minutes later) and I was a 9.5. Anesthesiologist came in and I said at this point forget it.

Took a a few minutes to get set up- fortunately my dr. was on call so I got to deliver with her- YAY she was AMAZING and calmed me down (i cannot describe how hard and fast things were)
20-25 minutes of pushing and Brooks was here
