Labor Timeline

Andrea was nice enough to write a timeline of my labor for me. I love that I have things that were said and done during my labor. We did the same thing for Amanda with her two kids and with Noah when I had him. Its so nice to be able to look back on later. Just so you know its labor so there are going to be talk of placenta, poop, pee and all that. It happens and I have no shame, its labor the way God made it. So here it is.

I started to have contractions at midnight June 13th. I laid in bed having the contractions but didnt think they hurt so I tried to go to sleep. I let Sean know I was having them so he tried to go to sleep as well. (usually he stays up til 1am reading or other such things) The contractions started to kind of hurt so I called Amanda who told me to time them and see how far apart they were. I had 7 of them that were 5 or 4 minutes apart. Sean and I got up and got our stuff ready to leave. Sean carried Noah and the diaper bag and the hospital bag and I carried my phone timing my contractions with an app I had bought earlier. We had called Amanda who then called the rest of the family and told them the news. They all met us at the hospital. Sean had called his mom who also met us there to pick up Noah and take him to her house. The rest is now from what Andrea wrote down at the hospital. 

Amanda was driving like a maniac and we beat Deana and Sean to the hospital.
