Rebekkah's mom came in to town on Saturday afternoon, and are we ever thankful that she did! Rebekkah had been feeling decidedly different the entire day and started to show some signs of progression into labor by the early afternoon. We knew it would be soon, but not how soon!
Things really started about midnight and after a call to the OB office, several walks, telephone calls to family and a mass email, we were on our way to the hospital at 3 am. The staff at Durham Regional was wonderful and really accommodated us and our families during the whole process.
Being that it is a personal matter with lots of medical details, it will have to suffice for me to say that after another 12 hours of labor and one short but powerful surge, we had a new baby at 9:47 pm! Little 8 lb, 1.5 oz 20.5 in long Emma Belle Brown:
Thus ended the long sleepless night and day, and the realization of the beginnings of a new sleepless night and day.
Whoohoo! So beautiful! Congratulations! :-)
