I posted in a thread on Tuesday night that I was having contractions fairly consistently, but then they fizzled out after a shower. I slept from 4-6 and then got myself and DS up and ready for the day.
I went to work and felt OK for most of the morning and actually went out to lunch with the dr I work with. Apparently, the spicy shrimp tacos I got made the contractions start again. I timed contractions from 1-230 and they were coming every 5 min and lasting about 1 min. I called my OB and she said to go to l&d and see if I was really in labor.
Got to l&d and I went from 1cm the week before to almost 4cm. They told me it was absolutely baby day. They had to wait to do the csection because I had eaten lunch. From there it was a mad dash to get everyone to the hospital and get someone to pick up DS from daycare. They got me to pre-op to do my epidural and my water broke right in front of my dad!
DH showed up about 30 seconds before they wanted to get started. The csection itself was so laid back and we were chatting with my dr and the anesthesiologist. It felt like no time at all before they told DH to stand up and tell me the sex. He said, "it's a girl babe, we have a little girl!" All with tears in his eyes.
I had some extra blood loss, but didn't require a transfusion, but just took awhile to get put back together.
Recovery has been going well and little miss is eating well and showing us her sassy side. We are heading home today to find our new normal with two kids.
Tl:dr RCS moved up a week because little girl was ready! Everyone doing well.

Welcome baby girl, glad it went well!
