I was expecting to be pregnant for another week and a half but my water broke spontaneously on Saturday evening. Oh, so weird and gross! I labored at home for while but went in and got an epidural when I was almost asleep on my feet at 4 am. It was a total opposite experience from my first traumatic labor. The epidural was perfect. My midwife was a cheerleader and let me labor down and I was able to deliver painlessly in a few pushes in a calm and happy room.
At 1:38 in the afternoon of 7/17 baby M was born 7lb, 1oz and 20 inches. He's a good eater, a record pooper, and a very chill guy.
