Liam's Birth(Short Version)

Just The Beginning...still smiling...

We went to the hospital on Friday Morning, June 13th at 7:30am planning to be induced. I was 3cm dialted, 80%efaced and baby was +2 in the birth canal. I was induced with gel around 8:15am. Back labor was quite intense for the next few hours. At around 3:30pm, I was 6cm. 90% efaced with still no baby - so the midwife broke my waters - labor intensified very quickly after that!! Around 5:30pm, I started pushing and Liam was born at 6:44pm.

My husband was awesome during labor. I was able to get thru without any pain medicaton which was a desire for both of us. Baby Liam was born wide awake...and was awake until 2am:) We had an awesome midwife and nurse who we are so grateful for. We are so thankful to God for our healthy baby and look forward to family and friends meeing him.


Labor getting more intense. I was VERY grateful for the whirlpool tub....severe back labor at this point.
NO MORE SMILES!!!!
Lots of smiles after Liam arrives!!!
He is quite the awake baby.
Daddy and Mommy admiring our little blessing.
We were blessed with an incredible midwife...

Awww...the "no more smiles" pictures made my eyes water. You looked so worn out. Todd looked so helpless.
So grateful it all went well and that he arrived safely with no extraneous drama!
love,
Beth

This post was so moving. Your lives will never be the same, because now there is a little boy born of the love you have for each other. What a miracle. We are excited to share the journey with you . . .
