Baby has been BORN!

Welcome to the world Briggs !!!
6-28-14
10lbs even, 21.5 inches!
A quick recap of this mornings events:
7am- I noticed my amniotic fluid was leaking so I texted my team, had breakfast and starting picking up around the house.
9:30am-  Decided to try to take a nap, not having any contractions
10:20am- woke up to a pretty strong contraction, started timing them and texted my midwife, she asked if I was ready for her to come over I said no.
10.40am I texted her again and said
"well maybe you should come"
Baby Briggs was born an hour later! 11:43am
It was an intense hour and I was thinking there was no way I could survive several hours of these type of contractions! I will admit I questioned my ability...But the urge to push came quick, and after about 8 (give or take) pushes my chunker was out! I think my recovery will be speedy, as there was no damage...amazing to say for pushing out a 10 pounder!
