Phoebe's water broke at 4 am on the 14th - 2 weeks early! Mark had been operating all night but was reachable on his pager - he rushed home to help Phoebe pack and get her to the hospital.
Tish was our L&D nurse for most of the day - she was wonderful. We got through the morning using breathing techniques etc., and then got the epidural at 2 pm... that was a relief.Mom (aka Grams or Gram) made it to the L&D room about 45 minutes before the pushing began!
Phoebe pushed for 45 minutes, using "birth breathing" from Hypnobirthing class - it was really hard work! But then, Will was born - and he was the best baby ever, with lots of dark hair and an excellent personality.
Dr. Domingo, our OB/GYN was wonderful!
