i sort of felt what might be contractions ~2am, went back to sleep until 4:30. told sharkey i wasn't sure, but he may want to stay home or go in for a half day. (he decides, what the heck, he'll stay.)
i take a long shower, and we head to the hospital at 5:15.
get all checked in & hooked to monitors at 5:45. am 8-9 cm dilated.
i want to start pushing ~6:25, they break my water, and Sharklette #2 is here at 6:30am weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces and 20.5 inches (no epidural, no time really).
we're all doing great. =) even poor sharkey who had a front row seat thanks to the (male) nurse who instructed him to take my other leg during pushing ~ didn't ask, just told, & sharkey did, and hung in there like a champ ~ EVEN when they broke the water w/ a totally unexpected big gush, hehe!!! good times. baby girl was laughed out. :)
(my hair is still all wet from my shower...)
another Cloney is born (adds sharkey), and boy, is he right!! i thought madeleine couldn't look more like him, but this girl has miss maddie topped, i think.
First Visitors: Again, Aunt Rebecca, this time with Cousin Owen! =)
Owen felt his little cousin's pain... so cute! (He was all smiles & entertainment the rest of the time.)
