At 3 AM yesterday morning, (the 23rd), Amber started having contractions. I got off of work early today and met Amber, Adam, and Amber's mom at the hospital. Also there was Alyson, who is Amber's Doula. I met up with them in the cafeteria, and then the five of us walked around the hospital, because Amber said that it felt good to walk. Her contractions were coming quite often, but they were mild compared to what came later.
Then we went back to the Delivery Wing, and I waited in the lobby with Adam and his mom while they moved Amber to her own room. Then we all went in Amber's room and waited for Nacho.
Amber FINALLY gave birth, right around 4:45 AM this morning. For those of you who did the math, you'll realize that meant that this went on for OVER 25 hours. To hold up Amber's back when she pushed and to be able to watch this baby be born... it was amazing. I'm not even going to try to write about it, because any words that I have to write will just diminish the experience.
Welcome.
