Here's Jack's story...
I woke up on December 22nd around 5:30ish in the morning and noticed I was having very light contractions about every 15 minutes or so. Throughout the day the contractions moved to every five minutes and got stronger and stronger. I mostly just hung out with my family, took a shower, watched a movie. The contractions started getting to where I wanted to be upstairs in my room and be quiet. David called our doula around 1pm and she was here by 2pm to help out. I labored at home until about 6pm and then decided to go to the hospital. Once I got to the hospital, things were really going and Jack was born at 7:27pm. I won't give all the gory details right now, but am open to tell the full story to those who want to know. I will say giving birth was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. Yet, it's so worth it. I am so happy to be Jack's Mom.
All that work is so worth it!

My sister, Christie. David was joking that this could be my "after" shot. Look how great I look after giving birth! ha ha! If only!

Congratulations Jen! I am so happy for you guys. I can't wait to hear about the birth story.
I'll have another one of my own to tell in about 7 months. I am 8 weeks pregnant! I'll need lots of advice on having 2!
Congrats again, Jen! He's so beautiful.
I'm curious to know whether you got to do the water birth stuff or anything! I'll catch up with you sometime later when you're more settled. :) Give Miss Lily a hug for me -- her world is upside down now I'm sure! :)
