Hi ladies. Couldn't sleep all night. I knew something was happening, but wanted to labor at home for as long as I could I labored at home from 1am until 8:30am. My water broke at about 7am while using the restroom. Today was the day of my 38 week check up so I figured I would just tough it out until 11am and let my doctor know what was happening. Well back labor kicked in and I ditched that plan to head straight in to labor and delivery. When I got all settled in and they checked me I was 5cm dilated and 90% effaced. They started an IV and administered penicillin as I tested positive for strep b. Labor is progressing "really fast" but they are trying to keep him in so he has the meds for 4 hours minimum. Fingers crossed baby Sunshine stays put. I am a little bummed that I didn't make it to 40 weeks, but thankful that baby is doing well and staying put for now. Thanks in advance for well wishes!! Greatly appreciated...ouch contraction :-t

Update:
Thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes. You are all awesome! Baby did perfect staying put. I was given penicillin at 10am and he came at 2:50pm. He received all of the meds he needed before delivery and when they checked me at 2:30, I was exactly 10cm dilated. He was born at 2:50pm at 7lbs 2oz and 20 inches long. He is so perfect! He came out peeing on everyone lol. I pushed TWICE and he was out one more push and there was the placenta I really could not believe it happened as smoothly as it did. Still in shock. I will post pics and my announcement shortly. Wow what a day.
