The Day Our Rainbow Arrived

We had a few scares throughout the pregnancy and I took a few different trips to L&D to check on our little one. Finally, I went in for my 37 week appointment and was thrilled to finally make it to "term"! But my joy was soon cut short as I was told the opposite of what I was expecting to hear. Due to my c-section with my twins, I was not allowed to labor past 38.5 weeks. If I was going to have this baby VBAC, I had to have him in the next 1.5 weeks! So all our fighting to keep him in now had to be changed to try and get him out! My doctor stripped my membranes and send me home to do a lot of walking! And I walked... for 24 hours I walked! Finally, Thursday afternoon my contractions became stronger. We waited for Grandma to come down and sit with the kids. We made into the hospital around 10pm and were admitted at 11pm. Once we got settled into a room, things progressed faster. Around 4:30am, the nurse was having trouble picking up baby's heartbeat so they decided to check to see how far I dilated. Well, little man was about to birth himself! My doctor got in just in time for the first and last push and Bradley James entering the world.
