Colin is here!!
Hey guys! We had a midwife appointment yesterday (11/4) at 5:30pm and we were dialated to 5cm and 90% effaced! I asked if she would break my water and she agreed. Larry and I went home to have dinner and get our bags. We got back to the birthing center about 8:20pm and we broke the water at about 8:40pm. My contractions were strong and hard from about 6:20pm and after the water was broken, they only got stronger and started coming back to back. I don't remember what time it was, but we got into the birthing tub and labored there for a little bit. Colin Joseph was born at 10:06pm! It was a great experience and I wouldn't change it for anything! He was 7 lbs, 7.5 oz and 20.5 inches long! James is very excited to be a big brother! He loves to hold Colin and he pats him (only using his fingers - his hand stays still). Attached are a few pictures (they are backwards and I will post some more in another post!):
