So, had my baby!!! Kayden Joseph was born at 10:58 am weighing 8 pounds, 10.2 oz and 20 1/2 inches long - over a pound bigger than his sister!! Contractions started around 3:30 am, weren't very painful.. 20 minutes apart, semi-regular but thought they were just braxton hicks. Had a few and woke up hubby around 4:30 in the morning, telling him I might be going into labor in a day or so and that I was having trouble sleeping. I sat on my birth ball and we played a few games of monopoly on the Xbox until 6am. By now contractions were 15 min apart and more painful, but I thought they were constipation pains, to be honest. I felt enormous pressure, similar to being constipated.. but couldn't go! I called my mom and had her come down just in case.. she arrived around 8am. By then I'd taken a bath and was now having pains 7 mins apart, but I could still manage them. I was still in denial a little, since my daughters labor had been more intense. 8:30 am we hopped in the car for our 45 min trip to hospital, which turned into an hour trip due to slick roads. By the time I got in the car there was so much pressure I could hardly walk, and still I was convinced I needed the bathroom and would have to use it before he came. As soon as car ride started, contractions were a mere 3 min apart, but still manageable. I talked and joked between them, finally thinking I was in true labor. We got to the hospital around 9:30am and checked into the ER, but ended up waiting for 15 minutes for someone to take me up to L&D... all while I stood there rocking through contractions! 10am and a nurse finally checked me, expecting me to be 4 or 5 cm.. I was at 9!! Her eyes got huge and she told me not to move, that if my waters went it'd be time to push. I was wheeled into a delivery room and waters broken at 10:30 or so, once the midwide arrived from her house. I started to become very scared, knowing how bad pushing would hurt.. after almost half hour of pushing and screaming, and one minor tear that didn't need stitches, Kayden Joseph came into the world!! And to think I thought he was a poop..
at thinking he was a poop! 
Congratulations!!!
