Just woke up to my water breaking. Packing the last minute things, and off we go! I'll try to keep you ladies updated.
**update**
Elliott was born last night at 11:11 pm! He was 5 pounds 13 oz, 19.25 in long. We were worried it would have to be a c section, he was posterior and had the cord around his neck so when it came time to push, his heart rate was dropping quickly. I was put on oxygen and flipped from side to side until we got his heart rate back up, and the doctor was able to reach in and flip him a bit. Turning on my left side and my belly almost helped him flip the rest of the way, and I was able to push! 2 hours of pushing he was finally here. He was struggling to fully inflate his lungs on his own so he spent the night with a pump to help inflate them. This morning he's got the tubes out of his mouth and no more air pump! I've been able to express some milk, no luck with bf yet but I've been pumping diligently trying to get a supply for him. I'm beyond in love with this little guy!

How exciting!!! Looks like you won't be itching for much longer, then!
