I started contractions friday morning at 8 am they were 2-4 min apart lasting 30 -45 seconds each so I waited till around 7:00 pm and went in to the hospital and I was 5 cm dilated so they took me in. It took 4 hours and at midnight I was 8 cm dilated and was still smiling and bouncing through my contractions and by 2:00 am I was 10 cm and not smiling as much! i had hard labor for 3 hours and then he was born i did it without any pain meds or anything! : ) I am so proud of myself but I could have never done it without God for giving me the strength and for my husband for being next to me every step of the way! I am beyond blessed! Meet Levi Barclay Gross!
