Arrival at the Birth Center at 41 weeks and 4 days pregnant, on 8/8/12 at 5:20, my water had already started leaking and contractions were coming on strong, I was already 5 cm dilated.
We delivered at the Family Birth Center in New Branfuls, TX. We had a wonderful midwive Amber Riedel and her two interns who attended on us and made this such a special day.
Trying to stay positive during the contractions.
