Austin knew when he was ready to come! He didn't waste anytime coming! I woke up on October 19th at 6:00 to contractions. I didn't think this was the real thing so after slowly getting ready for work I arrived an hour late. After a short meeting with my assistants I went to my doctors appointment. She checked me and I was at a 3 1/2 cm. She told me I was in latent labor and that she would probably see us later that afternoon. She sent us home and we came back at 3:15 that afternoon and a little tender mercy met us there. My sister-in-law Sarah who works in labor and delivery was there for a meeting. She got me checked into room 14 and assigned me the most amazing nurse! At that point I was really struggling with the idea of going natural but when she checked me and I was 7cm. I decided I go a little longer, so about 40 minutes later my amazing nurse checked me and I was 9 cm and they starting setting things up. 20 minutes later I was at a 10 and I started pushing at 5:00 and Austin was born at 5:53 pm! It was so crazy how fast things went. I was really happy that I was able to meet my goal and go natural. Austin is the sweetest baby we have loved having him here! He is a daddy's boy! Jared loves Austin! More pictures to come!
