Here is my last picture before Daxton was born.
Daxton arrived Monday night, June 22 at 7:07 PM. 7lbs. 3 1/2 oz. 21 inches.
Monday morning at 12 AM I woke up crampy. I went back to sleep, only to wake up again at 2:00 having contractions. They weren't bad, but I knew we may be going to the hospital that night, so I got up and put my makeup on. Sam woke up wondering what I was doing. Neither of us could go back to sleep, so we watched a movie until about 4:30 when the contractions became more consistent. We drove 50 minutes to the hospital. It was nice because my contractions were about 5 minutes apart, but not too bad yet. I was checked and was only dilated to a 2.5. So we went and got breakfast. Then we visited Lynly, a friend who had her baby the previous Saturday and was getting ready to go home. But visiting her my contractions slowed down. So Sam and I decided to go walking and take stairs around for another hour or so and my contractions got a lot worse. At 9:30 AM I was admitted being dilated to about a 4. They did my epidural at about 1:00, and they broke my water about an hour later when it finally numbed both legs. I got a little pitocin because I was still going slow. I pushed for about a half hour and he was born at 7:07 PM that night.
Proud Dad!
Precious!

Also, I had to laugh when you got up in the middle of the night to put on your makeup to go and push a baby out. You are a better person than I am. You also look great in your pictures not like you just pushed a baby out.
Also, ditto to what Lyzzi said, those were my exact thoughts as I read your entry! I just might make sure I put on makeup before the "just born" pics next time!
