He's here! Thanks everyone for your love and well wishes.
This morning at 6 am I woke up to a giant gush of fluid. I stood up and had another gush. It was just like on TV but it just kept going. My husband was out of town for work so I called him as I was dressing. I wasn't experiencing any pain or contractions so I drove myself to the hospital. L&D admitted me and shortly after that I started having contractions (maybe around 6:30). They gave me an antibiotic IV. The OB came and did a quick ultrasound to see if baby was still breech and he was. She then checked my cervix and found that I was completely dilated and baby was coming now.
There wasn't time for an epidural for the c-section so they put me under general anesthesia. I woke up and by that time my dad and @chaysefaith were here. They had me in recovery for about an hour and then they finally wheeled me to the NICU. Luckily my husband arrived right in time and we went in to meet him.
Baby William Archer was born at 8:18 am and weighed 3 pounds 10 ounces. He came out crying and wiggling. He is breathing on his own and doing well. For being born at 31 weeks, he's a pretty hefty baby. I'll be here 3 days but he'll be in the NICU for several weeks.
And now, pictures. He is the most beautiful, amazing little man.
