Baby boys birth story

So I loved, loved, loved the birth of my baby boy and decided to post it incase anyone else was interested and also to record it for myself. Some background info: after Little girls birth I decided I was a more positive birth experience. I just felt like for being such a miraculous event I was left feeling not so excited/slightly traumatized (hard to explain) so for Little boy I decided it might be different if I went all natural. Here it goes:
Super Bowl Sunday afternoon my intense Braxton hicks changed to more of a lower crampy feeling that would come and go every 10 minutes-but only sporadically. I started to have some bloody show and realized this could be it. I stayed home from the Super bowl party and let my husband go. I wasn't too worried because they weren't frequent and they didn't seem to come around from the sides or back like I thought they would. The contractions were just a menstural like cramp in the lower ab. So hubby gets home around 10, we watch The Office and head to bed. The contractions are only around 7 minutes apart and not intense at all so I decide to not even think about it and go to sleep (but I was pretty sure Monday would be the day). I remember waking to a slight pop feeling and then a little warm wetness. I say to DH, 'I think my water just broke, or else I just peed in my pants.' so I get out of bed and sure enough there is a big gush of water. DH jumps out of bed and starts throwing things into his bag. I wasn't having any contractions at this point and am shaking just a little. I didn't want to go the hospital yet because I am in a great, excited mood (no serious sign posts emotionally) and am not having contractions. DH insists that the only thing he remembers from the general Childbirth class we took 3 years ago for our first is if the water breaks you have to go to the hospital. So off the hospital we go around 1:20 am. We get to the ER and I'm embarassed because I'm walking, talking and laughing and sure that everyone is going to laugh at me because I'm already at the hospital and only at the beginning of labor. I decline the wheelchair ride to avoid feeling more silly (plus I don't need it). We get to the preliminary check in room and Contractions were every 3 minutes yet mild. They couldn't confirm my water had broken but I was dialated to 6 cms! I was so relieved. As we walked up to LandD everyone was commenting on how calm I looked for how far along I was-and how cute I looked because I chose to stay in my own pj's ;). A few more contractions and I had to concentrate. I don't know how long it was but I definately hit self doubt sign post. I made DH get the nurses to check my progress because I had changed my mind. I told them I needed drugs, anything I could get. I was 8 CM and told my cervix was 'paper thin'. The head nurse told me I could do whatever I wanted but was very encouraging in letting me know I was probably very near the end. They asked me what I wanted to do, I requested a shot in the head, they laughed and then I told them to give me 10 minutes. I was sure I could do 10 more minutes. Welll after two contractions I was sure it was time to push, so DH grabbed the nurses, who grabbed the dr. and my son was born at 4:28 on Monday the 2nd. I can't believe I made it. When they put him on my chest all wet and squirmy, he looked so tiny. Then they weighed him in at a little over 8 lbs!! I never thought I would grow something that big(2 lbs bigger than his sister). Immediately after the birth and the following day I was seriously doubting my sanity. But after that I was just so excited and happy and refreshed! I can honestly say that I will remember this as one of the best experiences of my life. Going natural gave me the amazing experience that I thought childbirth should be-I'm so glad I tried. I even told hubby the other day that I was sad the whole ordeal was over and I wanted to do it again. Now he is doubting my sanity. Little prince is so mellow (and kinda yellow) and absolutely perfect. He loves his momma and I love him. ( I still miss little dresses and ruffles though)
