We wanted to let you know we had our baby last night. He arrived this morning at 1:28 am, 2 weeks and 6 days early, but he is 19.5 inches, 7 lbs 2.2 oz. both mom and baby are doing well.
We barely made it back from Superior after house hunting for the weekend. Water broke at 10:30 pm. First contraction was about 11 pm and baby was here at 1:28 am!
We called the hospital around 11:15 pm or so and her contractions were about 1-2 minutes apart, but only lasted about 30-45 seconds. The hospital said to wait. She was getting more uncomfortable with about 1 minute between and fairly long contractions. Honestly, it was so fast, we couldn't really time them as I was getting everything else ready to go. We got to the hospital ER about 12:30 am and she felt like pushing in the car. Got the OB triage and they measured and found zero cervix so we got whisked upstairs, not even time for a bracelet on mom or anything. She started pushing right away and the baby came very quickly with two tears, but one was very small and just 1 stitch in that one. She didn't have any drugs, although there really wasn't any time for them even if she would've wanted any thing.
It was a pretty hectic day and weekend with looking at roughly 25 houses for our move north in August, a 9 hour drive home due to construction, traffic, and a blown tire and then a labor that was only 2.5 hours. All is well though!
