Reyn got some of our film developed and I came across some of my LABOR photos that I thought I would share. So funny to see how puffy I was. Left one photo out where I'm laboring in the tub....sorry guys.
My Labor was a total of 9 hours. Started feeling some contractions around 6 PM at home and saw Poppy's naked body at 2:59AM the next morning. My contractions progressed super fast and were only about 2 minutes apart when we walked over to the hospital. Yes, that's right, I said walked. The hospital where I delivered is only 2 blocks away from our apartment. Kind of cool. Reyn walked over with me and we would stop every 2 minutes and I would just hold onto him and want to scream. I was dilated to a 3 when we got to the hospital around 8PM and a 5 when I got the good stuff injected into my spine. After the numbing took effect I was loving life. My two good friends (Traci and Jessica...Jess was staying at my house at the moment) came by to say hello, I was listening to Antony and the Johnsons on my I phone...will always remind me of labor now...reyn surprised me with their new album download onto my phone...he also gave me some black leather shorts (that looked SO tiny at the moment) and a feather hair clip...he's awesome. When Poppy was ready to come into the world, I honestly pushed her out in 2 minutes. She came so fast that the nurses and doctor almost didn't have enough time to get sanitary. Thank you Pops for wanting to make it out to say "Hi." Can't believe that little muffin is almost 7 months now.
Pancake just out of surgery standing by the tub cheering me on. I also had a candle burning and a Dr. Pepper. Two things that get me relaxed.

This is one night I will cherish for the rest of my life. At dance class, learning the new Beyonce Singles lady dance (of course) when I missed the call. Jumped in a cab and thought I was going into labor, and then I remembered it was you. I wouldn't let Jess sleep. I kept waking her up and updating her on your dilation. We had parties, before & after she came. Food, good music, and dancing the day after she came out. Will never forget Reyn changing her diaper for the first time. Its been an amazing two years. I hope you know how much I love you and your family.
