Took a bit of encouragement.

  Julia was a bit reluctant to give up her warm and secure spot inside Natalie. She needed some rubbing and encouragement before she let out  a lusty cry,  now she is doing great.

2:45 She is here!!!!

 Dianna and the Jonsons arrived at 2:40 and one contraction and the water broke and she is here. Meconium and all. A bit blue at the beginning. Ky jumped into the tub and that was it, she was here. 

2:45 contraction

 First contraction with Diana in the room, lots of sound (screaming) coming out of Natalie!!!

We are having a baby! The water broke. Natlie yelled, Kylie jump in and catch her! The water broke she is coming! 


Diana just arrived

 No doubt they all jumped in the car and drove like mad from Porterville. 

This was the big advantage of Saturday morning. 



So happy the Johnson's made it. 





2:40 contractions Sorry about the caps, just an accident

Just quietly waiting.  Nat seems to be sleeping between contractions. Ky is rubbing her eyes and Sheridan is leaning agains the tub with her eyes closed. 

Maybe we imagined this would be faster than it is. 

How could wi think that, this is Julia, the master of slow. 



2:35 Back in the water, back in the zone

 Baby's heart rate is 120-130 perfect. It seems like a long time, but this is birth, no way to hurry or make it happen. 

2:30 contractions: Discussing standing, rotating hips and moving

 Some problem solving happening. Nat has tried 3 different positions with contractions. 2:30 contraction standing. 


"Let her come, let her come, let her come".
