me&Riloh's birth story&pics!

I am so happy to finally be writing this  
here is my story:
I woke up on my due date-the 22nd with period pains across my back. I'd forgotten what they felt like after nine months without-brought it all back!
We had our doctors appointment that day so went on into town and I was checked for dilation (ick) she told me my body was totally ready for labor, we just needed contractions. So we walked around town for a bit, visited my Momma at work where I had my first contraction. It wasn't too painful at all so I wasn't sure if it was one or not. I didn't even say it to my husband/Momma as I didn't want to jinx it!
Drove home and they kept coming, a lil irregular and not that strong though. Got home and got cosy in bed with my husband and a hot water bottle. It felt good! Then the contractions started getting stronger so we began to time them. They were 5/7 mins apart and each lasted a minute or so. I could bare them though. That was at about 4pm when it got to 8 they were quite painful and we decided to go to the hospital. I still wasn't totally whether it was labor or not! My family prayed over me&my husband before we went and we were off!
Got to the hospital and got brought up to L&D after they checked me and I was 5cm and totally effaced! Met our midwife-who was so lovely, chatting away a mile a minute. My contractions were now very painful, I would get so hot&sweaty during one and strip off all my clothes and then when it was done I'd be shivering with cold and get dressed again!
From then on everything just happened like clock work. My waters burst, it felt amazing-like a water balloon! The midwife was getting so excited about how perfectly everything was going. Then I felt such an urge to crud, I was about to get up and head for the bathroom cuz I realli didn't wanna crud on the bed and the midwife screamed-'no no no, I can see the head, PUSH!'
3 pushes later at 00:50 on the 23rd of August
my baby was put into my arms, all I could say was how gorgeous he was
and is. He is just so gorgeous.
no stitches, no drugs-SO much love.
Labor was the greatest experience of my life and I'm so happy I got to do it all natural, I could feel everything it was wonderful!
Now were finally home after 2 nights in the hospital, I'm on such a babymoon. I can't take my eyes/mind/heart off him. He is such a good baby. Sleeps a lot, feeds beautifully. Only ever cries when were changinf his nappy as he gets cold-he usually pees all over himself and we have to strip him.
Being a Momma is such a joy, I can't believe he's mine forever  
I couldn't be happier, here he is:
