I don't have much of a story to tell, but that is a good thing when it comes to labor and delivery.

We went to see the doctor in the morning.  She wanted to induce, but I said no. I sent J to work and within an hour called him back to say my contractions were 5 minutes apart. They weren't very intense, but regular, so we dropped the girls off at a friend's, left Paul with our helper, and checked in at the hospital. They did the fetal monitoring for 30 minutes. I got in the tub for two more contractions, got out of the tub to push, and he was born.  I almost laughed at how easy it seemed. I had never had a baby during the day. It was perfect.
