Sean was conceived on September 23,2002. His due date is June 16,2002. I am hoping for an earlier delivery, due to me returning to work in September of 2002.

06-11-02/10:00am Contractions are around 10 minutes apart. Charlie and I are going to go walking. Hopefully this will increase the contractions or break my water.

06-11-02/1:00pm We just came home from the hospital my cervix is 1cm dilated and contractions are not strong enough for active labor. The doctors sent me home to wait.

06-11-02/7:30pm We went back to the hospital my contractions were 3 minutes apart and I was 3cm dilated. The hospital called my doctor who advised them to admit me.

06-11-02/10:45pm I am 5cm with an epidoral now and contractions have became more intense due to the pitocin my doctor started.

06-11-02/11:00pm I am now 10cm fully dilated and pushing. That's right after only 15 minutes. Labor was an intense experience for me. Not in the way of pain ,but in the work needed to get the baby to the point of delivery.

06-11-02/11:58pm Sean is born into the world after 58 minutes of pushing and alot of coaching from Charlie and my nurse.

My whole pregnancy was a blessing that I can't fully share with anyone. It's something you need to experience yourself. Will I do it again? We'll have to see in about three years.
