Born on his due date! A short(ish) birth story.

This update is long overdue and I've missed you all so much! I'm sure you understand how difficult it is to find time to get online with little kids in the house though 
So DH and I tried a little natural induction on 2/1 and I had my membranes swept the next morning. I was a bit crampy all day, but didn't expect anything. I lost my mucus plug as I was leaving work at 5 and started contracting every 7-9 minutes right away. They were up to every 3-5 minutes by 3 am and we headed to the hospital then and I was 4 cm. My water broke around 6 and contractions immediately doubled in pain, so I got an epidural an hour or two later. With #1, I went from 7 cm to 10 cm within 30 minutes, so I expected the same this time, but it took 3-4 hours. I pushed for 45 minutes and it was beautiful. My sister and DH held my legs and the OB was the perfect coach. Jon Daniel was born 2/3 (my due date) at 8 lbs, 21 inches and absolutely perfect.
My beautiful children are in my profile picture. They've been really difficult since we got home, but I've had so much support that I haven't had to been alone with them too much yet. I still feel terrified to be alone with the two of them all day!
