Pregnant after IF

Baby Dane came a bit early!

I had a baby Monday, 2 weeks early, surprise! My water had started leaking during a hike with my husband but I wasn't having contractions so I went to see my midwives at 9pm on Sunday. I'm GBS positive so we kinda had a clock ticking and we really wanted to be able to have our planned homebirth. They gave me cervidil, a balloon catheter, and ambien, monitored me and the little one for a couple hours, and sent us home to try and sleep. I started having mild contractions, getting as close as 5 min but irregular. Those continued into the morning. I was 5 cm but my forebag of waters hadn't broken by 11 am, and I was pretty stagnant with progress, so the midwife broke the forebag and it got real. I went into transition within 30 minutes, pushed for 20, and Dane Thomas was born at 12:25 pm on February 9 at our home. 7 lb, 1 oz, 19 in, 38w1d gestation. Everyone is doing well and he's the light of our lives.

My heart is as open as the sky.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
