Aw! Hang in there! My first baby came a week before his due date, my second came a week after his.
I just realized I never posted Topher's birth story... oops!
I'll give you a quick rundown of the event. My water broke around 1 pm on May 21 and we called my midwife. She came to check me and said I was already a few cm dilated, but my contractions hadn't started yet, so she left and came back later. It wasn't until around 10 pm (9 hours later) that my contractions finally started, but they were pretty mild. A little after 11 pm they started picking up and around 12:15 I started pushing. He was born at 12:52 am on May 22.
A few pictures from May/early June...
