Emmett Jonathan Bush

Its a boy! Emmett Jonathan Bush was born October 2nd at 7:21pm. I went in for an appointment and my midwife stripped membranes. I was already 5cm almost 6. After the strip we went walking and I thought I was having contractions but they only felt like the braxtons. We went in anyways and they admitted me to labor and delivery. At 6:30 my midwife checked me and I was already 8cm! She went ahead and broke my water and things went very fast after that. I got to go all natural again with no pain relief. I used the shower and got to stand during contractions and Jonathan was an excellent coach. I had lots of support from the staff and midwife too. I pushed for 15 minutes and there he was. He got to stay on my chest for a good ten minutes before they took him for check up. It was beautiful, Jonathan said "Its a boy!" and we are in love with him and our family. We are so blessed for such a healthy little boy, he weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long.
