2 weeks early!

Friday the 21st I had this urge to get everything done around the house. So, I cleaned ALL day since my daughter was being chill for once and not constantly following behind me saying mommy lol.

That night I cooked a decent size dinner and my back was hurting after everything so I took an epsom salt bath. Around 11pm the back pain became pain in my pelvis and I just thought that it was from overdoing myself. 2am I lost my mucous plug and the cramping became worse so I texted the babysitter to give her a heads up that she might get an early awakening.

By 8am the pains were even worse and 6 minutes apart, by that time my daughter had climbed into our bed and would rub my back and ‘sh’ me every time I had a contraction.

Around 9am I woke my husband up to tell him to get his ass in gear and get dressed then called the baby sitter when he was done getting dressed.

I got to the hospital around 10:45, I was having good breaks between contractions, able to talk and laugh until the next one came on but by the time they got me to the delivery room my breaks were shorter and within 5 minutes of being in there they broke my water.

As soon as they did he was extra ready to come out, the midwife just sat on the end of my bed and told me to push. She was super calm but bc it was nothing like when I had my daughter I was freaking out. My legs weren’t in stirrups, I was just chilling on the bed with the midwife sitting at the end of it. When I did start pushing they took the end off of my bed and put the stirrups up for me.

With my daughter they had me in the stirrups from the beginning and I just stayed in them, this time I was all over the place. My legs didn’t stay in the stirrups, I was pulling myself up the bed, it was just completely different.

At 12:22pm on August 22nd my handsome Jensen was finally born weighing 7lb1oz and 20 inches long
