I woke up in the morning and got a bowl of cereal. My water broke as I sitting down to eat the cereal. My husband then called our midwife. He then went to the grocery store to stock up our refrigerator. I went around and gave all the animals their breakfast. My midwife, Karen, came over to check me and assured me it'd be awhile, that was no surprise though since I wasn't having contractions yet. She left to take care of a few things and then came back a couple hours later. Justin and I ate lunch and then my contractions started so we sat and watched a movie. By the early evening my contractions were getting really strong and I decided to sit in a tub of warm water for the last bit of labor. I got out of the tub and into my bed. I started to push and about 45 minutes later Nathan was born. Karen laid him on my chest and I just got to kiss and cuddle him for a few minutes before she took him to clean him up. I loved having a home birth.
