I began having contractions at 7:45 in the morning on August 13. I called John at work to tell him to come home and then we both called our parents. I got Jack ready and fed him breakfast, and by the time John got home (with police escort no less!), my contractions were getting pretty painful. We dropped Jack off at a friend's house and headed to the hospital. I checked in at 8:50 and was dilated to a 6. Once in my room, they started the IV and rechecked me at an 8 and this is where I stayed for what felt like forever...at least to me :) The contractions were rough, and I wondered if I could truly handle it without an epidural. After my water broke, I was a 9. My mom arrived shortly after that - just in time. I was feeling LOTS of pressure and sure enough it was time. They called the doctor who got there fairly quickly. Once she was suited up, I pushed twice and sweet Carter arrived at 11:22 a.m. riding on a wave of gushing water!

He was ANYTHING BUT HAPPY!
