On Monday, December 3, 2007, I felt some pressure most of the day, but figured it was just the baby dropping. Then, around 6pm, I started feeling some contractions. They weren't very strong, but about 5 min. apart. I called the doctor, and he told me to call back when they were stronger, when I couldn't talk during them but had to breathe through them. Over the next hour, they became closer together and a bit strong, but I could still talk through them. I called my sister-in-law, Niki, at about 7:00pm and asked what she thought. She told me to go to the hospital, just to be sure.
We packed our bags and casually left the house, thinking we'd be in for a long night. We got to the hospital at 8:30 pm. The nurses checked me, and I was 9.5 cm dilated!!! I looked at Jason, and he thought I was freaking out because the baby was coming right then. In reality, all I was thinking was NO EPIDURAL!?!?! Oh my god!
Colby Mitchell Winters arrived a few minutes later at 9:20 p.m. He was 6 lbs. 0 oz. and 18.5 in. long. He didn't have a name until this morning (the 5th). We're home now, and excited to start this new chapter in our lives! :)
