Thank you Marlee for posting the picture of Lincoln right after he was born. Here are some more pics.
After barely making it to the hospital with my last baby, this time I wanted to make sure I wasn't running in at the last minute. So this time, with a more normal labor pattern, I got to the hospital at around 12 midnight, with time to spare. Easy contractions that didn't progress really fast until we decided to break my water. After that things moved really fast. I labored about 40 min in the shower with Paul rubbing my back the entire time. That's right--Pocatello does not have bathtubs in their labor and delivery rooms! We are in the olden days over here--bug! I had about 5 contractions that hurt pretty bad. Then I rushed to the bed in between a contraction while trying not to push, trying to throw on some clothes (because I had three kids in the room), and trying not to slip because I was wet from the shower(Paul caught me when I almost slipped). After I got the bed I tried not to push (because I knew it was going to hurt) through about 5 more contractions till I couldn't stand it anymore and then I pushed one time and out he came! Paul was there to help the midwife deliver him and put him on me. Kiya was by my side playing with my hair, Cole was covering his ears, and Marlee was trying not to faint (even though this is the third birth of mine she has been to, this is the first one she has actually watched). So here are some pics of the labor and after; I can't post any of the birth or after of me because I only had enough time to put on my bra and not my hospital gown.

This is what everyone was doing while I was in labor. Ha ha guys!!
Cole is talking to the baby before he was born watching what it did to his heartrate. It would go up when we would talk, he thought that we pretty cool!
This is Marlee after the birth with her smelling salts!
