At this time of Thanksgiving, I am thankful that Christiana Grace arrived safely on October 26, 2013, after 25 hours of labor and two days before her due date. What a surprise to go early, but the timing was perfect.
I was able to work up until the night before leaving the law firm in Boston around 9:00 p.m. after experiencing heavy cramping all day. Labor contractions started around 2:00 a.m. Friday morning, but my water did not break until 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning. After pushing for 2 hours Christiana was born at 3:30 a.m. The best and sweetest feeling to be done with the intense pain and to hold the baby. What an emotional time!
Feel free to check out my sister Shera's blog for more pictures.http://camusocapers.wordpress.com Look for her post Labor and Delivery. She was with us at the hospital and was a great support as was Josh.
