Had my baby!

Connor James was born on December 20 at 2:01 a.m. He was 7 lb 8 oz, 20.5 in at just over 38 weeks.
I had an OB appointment on the 19th at 10 am, and my OB told me my cervix was still high and closed. At 2:00 pm, I felt a sharp contraction, stood up, and my water broke (like movie-style gushing). We went to L&D around 4 pm, and I progressed pretty quickly on my own (no Pitocin) until midnight, at which point I was approaching 10 cm but baby was still high. So, we had to wait another 1.5 hour or so to push until he came down, but once he did, he came out in just a few pushes. Recovery has been much easier this time around even though I tore in the same spot I did with my daughter. And, this sweet baby is so quiet and sleepy, which I am totally not used to.
