This morning at 4 a.m. my water broke. I was at work. I didn't realize that was my water that broke until about an hour later when I realized I had a constant leak.
By the time I was checked in at the hospital I was having contractions every 5 minutes. I was 2 cm dilated, and a half hour later I was 4 cm dilated. I was having back labor which stunk. We progressed to contractions every 2-3 minutes and I'm sure I had dilated more as I was feeling much worse. By then my labs had come back - I had signed all consents and I was getting ready to lose my mind.
Samuel David also known as squeaker was born at 11:09 a.m. weighing in at a svelte 5 lbs 15.7 oz and 17 inches long.
We're doing well. Things may be quiet for a bit.

Hi Sam! I am a long time lurker (found your site through Mandy's). I just wanted to say Congratulations! Can you believe after all that you've been through and the 'little squeaker' shows up early? I am so happy for you! He is so precious! Congratulations again!
Oh he's absolutely beautiful Sami (I'll refer to him as handsome when he's older). He also looks delightfully pink so I'm taking it that things are going wonderfully well.
I laugh at you comment that things may be quiet for a bit. I imagine that things will not be quiet for you but that you won't be posting for a while.
Thank-you so much for posting the picture and telling us the news (and Mandy truly rocks for letting me know a little earlier today).
Hugs, kisses and best wishes.

Woohoo!!!! I am so happy and Samuel is so beautiful! Congratulations.
I let everyone know, I hope that's okay. I just had to share the joy!!!!!
Oh my god! He's absolutely beautiful!
I'm so glad that he's here and healthy and that you're doing fine too. Sorry that the labor and delivery didn't quite go as hoped for. Obviously little Sam has a mind of his own and wanted to do things his own way!
Will talk to you soon. Lots of love and hugs to the family.
Sami, he is just beautiful! Congrats to you and Dad! I guess he decided to beat the holiday rush!
Congratulations! He's perfect!

Oh my goodness, he is beautiful! I think I may cry. I don't think you'll remember me but I've commented here in the past and lost the link to your site. The last I heard you were not even pregnant. So, what a wonderful and inspiring shock to see this little baby of yours! Congratulations! I am so happy for you! :)

Congratulations, dear Sami! What a beautiful, beautiful little boy -- and what a surprise that he decided to make an early appearance! That certainly hammers a few things home to me...
Welcome to the world, little Samuel David. I hope and trust you'll love it here.
Congratulations! My daughter was born at 36 weeks weighing 5lbs 14oz, and trust me...it doesn't take long for them to not be too "svelte" anymore.
Again, congratulations.
He's gorgeous Sami - what a surprise to read this this morning though! Did you have an emergency c-section or had he turned himself round?
So glad to hear that all is ok. Thinking of you all.
