Second Time

So I've been timing contractions for 2 hours now. Regular, but not consistently 5 minutes apart. This is unfolding ao differently from the first time. Then I had no real contractions until after my water broke. It was pretty obvious we were having a baby that day two years four months ago. Today I'm anxious and wondering if all these contractions are the real deal.

It was the real deal. He arrived happy and healthy and full of spunk at 10:00 this morning. Super fast labor, like no time for an epidural. I'll post more on epidural vs. not later and a picture. I promise. For now off to enjoy the newborn snuggles. I am so very, very blessed.
