Baby Dean came 10 days early on Aug 13 at 12:29AM. I had mild intermittent contractions for 6 hours and was unsure if labor was really coming. My contractions picked up quickly after my bloody show and 5 hours and 1 push later Dean made his grand arrival as our OB was still snapping her gloves on. He is perfect and nursing well and we were home less than 36 hours later. I am feeling strong, healthy, and empowered. You can do this ladies!
