I AM IN LABOR!
In anticipation of my induction tomorrow, we drove down to Grand Rapids today and spent the day Christmas shopping at the mall. Right after I ate a huge plate of chinese food, we got ready to leave and my water broke {around 6:45pm}.
We went straight to the hospital and I was 3cm dilated and 80% effaced.
I'm all settled into my room now. I'm contracting regularly right now {about every 3 minutes} but it's not too painful yet. My mom and husband are here, and my dad is on his way.
I am so happy that I was able to experience going into labor naturally and able to skip the induction altogether. I didn't think it was a possibility anymore. :) Now let's see if I can do this without the epidural, too!
I guess my little man just didn't want to wait that extra day!
I'll do my best to keep you all updated!
