So much for a countdown.
My contractions had begun at about 5 pm on the 15th but were very irregular and some were much less extreme than others. The "real" ones were about 20 minutes apart. But I still wasn't totally sure if I was truly in labor and I really didn't want to be sent home from the hospital. So I rested and they sort of slowed. An hour and a half later I walked around, and they picked back up. I was in labor.
Steven's parents pulled into our drive way at 8 pm (after getting a little lost on the VERY confusing TX roads - they all have about 3 different names around here). By then, the contractions were about 10 minutes apart.
We showed them around the house, grabbed my overnight bag and we were at the hospital by 9 pm.
Four hours later ... at 12:54 am
We had a
