Dec 10, Sunday
Moon, Waning Crescent
6:30am: You texted that you’d been contracting since around 4:30am. You got up and took a bath. You asked for some ways to get more comfortable. You were “scared that it’s not real again”
7am: Asked me to come
8am: I arrived. You were on your hands and knees leaning on the birth ball. Ctx were intense and close. You were frustrated by having to blow your nose. Nick was placing an Instacart order. You wanted a tropical smoothie but they weren’t open yet. Nick planned to order one once they did (spoiler…that timing did not work out!)
8:04: I texted Janelle to come. I started filling the tub
8:30am: No more hot water. I put some pots on the stove and turned on the tea kettle. You got into the tub. “I’m not as chatty this birth. I just got right to it” We discussed music. You wanted a fireplace/snow/youtube video
8:50: Humming. I don’t think Nick had a clue how close we were to having a baby. Waldo started making noise with you while you contracted
9:06: Janelle almost there. I said, “You can have a baby now”
9:10am: Janelle arrived. Instacart had delivered.
9:24: Water broke. Immediately crowning
9:25: Birth
“I already feel lighter in my stomach”
9:38: Bed
9:48: Placenta
10am: Baby pooped all over the place. Cord clamped/cut
10:05: Latched on
10:10: Waldo met his new puppy
10:30: We helped you up to pee. Skin to skin with Nick
10:37: Ibuprofen and afterease herbal tincture
“He looks so different than Hudson”
10:45: You were doing your make-up
11:06: Newborn exam. 8lbs 8oz
