@FlamingoGirl13. I ruptured the membranes. So, I am assuming my water broke

@dragonfly23 - Yes they did! That should help labor increase too. You've got this girl!

Dragonfly- yeah!!! Baby time!! Girl push push push!! Congratulations almost time to hold your baby boy your arms.

@dragonfly23: Yaaaay! I’m cheering for you, too!! Yes! Keep on moving, walking or use a fitness ball to bounce on if they have it! Or just have a dance party! Lol But seriously: if you can move, it will help. That’s what happened with me: they hooked me up to be monitored (and forgot about me) and then my water didn’t want to break and they had to break it. Then it went fast but it would have been much faster. Keep pushing girl! You have the whole cheering team here! So exciting!!

@dragonfly23 Yaaaaaayyyy! You got this!

@MrsSilver29. Beautiful scan. Are you going to find out the gender? With the heart rate that high, I'm thinking girl.

Got the epidural put in and just waiting for it to kick in. The pain is unbearable but now starting to be tolerable. I know I said I wanted my water to break and to experience it but it must have broken during my sleep as I got up to go pee and my pj pants were soaked. I didn't think anything of it till I went to the washroom and when I wiped there was blood so I knew it was time to go.

MrsSilver29- Oh look at that baby! I have my 2nd one on Wednesday I will be 10-1/2weeks then. I’m excited to hear the heartbeat again.
At 6weeks it was 114bpm.

Dragonfly- we will be waiting for a picture

This was 32 wks. A few days ago.

@dragonfly23!!!!! i am so so so overwhelmingly happy for you! he is perfect and i absolutely LOVE his name. Good job mama. what a great prize after such a long race. I'm sorry your H chose to sit out of the delivery and its ok to feel upset about it. Perhaps his nerves and anxiety got the best of him in the moment and made him chicken out. At this moment, try not to dwell on it and just focus on healing for yourself and rest. and of course focusing on this perfect little guy!

@Silver that is the cutest little bean! how exciting, isnt it?! wishing for a continued happy and healthy journey.

Guys I can't believe we're now doing birth announcements!! this is so exciting

do you think i used enough exclamation marks in this post

Dragonfly, he is perfect and i love isaiah! I am so glad everything went good. A few stretch marks will be ok and they will fade. It just lets you know how blessed you are to have a perfect, healthy baby BOY! I know what you mean by hubby not being there. My bf sat in the chair the whole time with dd and didn't see any of it but he isn't good with blood and all. Maybe he just couldn't take it. Was you there alone or was someone else with? Bottom line, you have 2 beautiful children and a hubby that is there for you. Don't dwell on the negative. Enjoy your bundle and focus on healing. Much love to you!
