While this may be true for some, it wasn't for me. It was a very dramatic jumping up from bed and running to the bathroom in a panic moment. All at 2:30am.
I hadn't been having contractions up to that point. I decided to take it easy. Take a shower. Have a peanut butter sandwich. Actually pack a hospital bag....
We didn't even have the car seat strapped into the car (but at least we had one!).
Molly kept trying to get into the bag I was packing. Usually she runs away and hides when I put on shoes. Not today. She knew something was up. It was a little surreal knowing the next time I'd be back in this house, I'd have a baby in my arms.
We arrived at the hospital around 4:30am. By then I was having mild contractions (sometimes I only knew because the monitor said so).
As the morning progressed, so did my contractions. I heard the nurse call for my doctor. It was time.
I only actually pushed for about 20 minutes (even though, to me, it felt like an eternity). He was born at 1:03pm. 7 lbs 4.2 oz and 20.5 inches long.
Jaydon Avalon.
Absolutely perfect.
(No really, he got a 10 on his Apgar).
Brandon was amazing. He not only took photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives, but was my support through the whole thing. I couldn't ask for a better husband :)
Our little Batman is 1 week old today! The 4th of July -- his due date :) He was born the day before my Grandparents Anniversary, on June 27.
We will be updating his website with photos as we go. If you'd like to check it out, and follow our little Batman as he grows, here it is: www.jaydon.jaymeandbrandon.com
