Giving Birth

I just realized that (because of the whirlwind of giving birth) I never posted about the Big Event Itself.

This is what I was doing a few hours
before going into labor.

It was 11pm.
Can you tell by the look on my ready-to-pop face?

And this is what Brendan was doing a few hours before my water broke.

(Be prepared for partial nudity. Just pretend you're in Europe or whatever.)
