I witnessed the most amazing thing this morning. Here is how it went down:
5:00 pm While shopping for window treatments at target Lacey mentioned that her contractions were getting a bit stronger. I didn't think much of it and left for school.
10:00pm I arrive home to see Lacey and mom counting minutes and writing down numbers. Whoa!
1:00am Lacey tries to sleep but the contractions are coming on strong too strong
4:00am After 3 hours of me trying to convince her it's better to be safe than sorry, and her trying to convince me she'd rather be at home in our king memory foam bed than in a birth center we pack up and leave.
4:30am Arrive at Birth Care in Old Town Alexandria
5:30am After soaking in the tub, and being the toughest girl I've ever seen through some big contractions, Lacey crawls into bed for the final 45 min of pushing.
6:00am Watching Lacey give birth 100% natural was incredible. No screaming, just concentrated breathing and pushing. I've lost the right to complain about anything, ever.
6:23am We grew a new Olive on our family tree. The most perfect thing I've ever been a part of making.
