I got off bedrest on Monday and took my last medication Monday morning!! I loved the freedom. Sean and I went on a well needed date that night! On Tuesday (36 weeks) I went on a walk around the block with Carter and Renee. I was feeling some contractions but nothing more than before so I continued to be up and at um, I took Carter to Toy Story 3 and came home to finish getting all the baby stuff out. Sean came home from work and was pretty adamit that we were going to get this baby here one way or another! I started to feel more and more contractions as the time past. During dinner I had to continue to stop eating to breath d/t the increased amount on contractions. After dinner we decided that we should go up to the hospital and see what was going on I was counting contractions about every 5-6 minutes apart. Sean and I walked around the capital building just to make sure I was really contracting before I went into the hospital. I get nervous going into the hospital I hate having them say sorry nothings up go home and rest! This time I had a good feeling and knew what I was feeling was real, away we went! I got hooked up to the monitor which showed me contracting about 2-3 minutes apart, the nurse checked me and was shocked to see me at an 8 cm. (That must be my magic number) Turns out we weren't going home and baby Sam was coming!! It was actual a better delivery than Carter was. They didn't make me stay in bed the whole time and I didn't have to have Pitocin! I walked around and was able to change positions when things got worse. Then surprise at 0237 out came Sam! I started to clap I was so happy :) He was a little shocked at first but quickly recovered! We are just happy he is here and healthy! It is such a huge blessing!
He was wide awake right after delivery! He wanted to look around and explore his new world. 
My two happy boys! Carter came into the hospital room very excited to see Sam. He said, "Sam your finally here," with a huge smile on his face.
A tired Daddy with a peaceful little boy!
Getting ready to go home!
