Hello friends and family,
Some of you know that labor signs began early on Sunday morning. We thought the baby would arrive by Sunday night, but that wasn't the plan. Yesterday, it was a day of close contractions (every 2-3 minutes for awhile), and then more sporatic ones. I've been getting to bed around 8pm, and having contractions every 30 minutes or so. I sleep well in between them, but they can be intense. We are all set up for the actual labor - birthing tub and all.
The baby is doing well, I am doing well, and we are resetting our expectations to meeting the bean by the end of the week. Joe will likely be going back to work tomorrow, and my mom will come and keep me company. I've been physically and emotionally drained these last two days, so now I am focusing on restoring as best I can.
What we need now is lots of prayers. Soon enough, we'll share the news!
Love,
Erin

Erin, Joe, and Baby Girl (I won't reveal the name and give it away to anyone you haven't told yet!),
I just wanted to say that I adore you all and it was such a pleasure to spend these days of birthing with you. I am overjoyed by the sight of your baby in arms. She is such a lucky baby to have parents who were so devoted to giving her the most gentle, normal birth a baby can have. You should be so proud of every choice that you made. I will cherish my memories from your birth forever.
Love,
Your Midwife
