Nothing like I expected - a birth story

[athene]

For those who don't follow me on other social media, Benjamin Ansel was born on Saturday, October 10 at 3:24pm.

Here is my birth story:

Benjamin’s birth was nothing at all like I expected. I figured having given birth once, I knew what I was in for. Boy was I wrong.

First, I did not expect to go early. Since LP was a week late, I figured that Bae would be at least a few days late. As I said in my “On the Clock” post, I still had lots on my to-do list to do before the baby got here. So when my water broke with the blood on Friday morning it really freaked me out (besides the OMG, blood) part.

Wow, what an adventure! Thanks for sharing -- I find birth stories fascinating. I can't imagine how painful that must have been, for him to be born so fast. You are awesome!
