2:30 am: My water breaks. Ben and I try to time the contractions but they are coming so irregularly that we decide it's best to call the hospital. Labor and delivery instructs us to come in.
5:00 am: We throw the last minute essentials into our bags and head to the hospital. We arrive at North FL Regional Medical Center at 5:00 am and learn that I am at 10 cm and in the throws of labor. No time for an epidural.
6:00 am: Doctors expect delivery very soon, it's a whirlwind in the room as the nurses get me prepped and ready for delivery. I push for 2 hours but Kingsley is content where she is and wants just a little more time on the inside. The doctors think I'm tiring, want to give me a rest, and think it's OK to receive an epidural. Ben calls the Grandmas and they make their way to the hospital.
8:00 am: I rest for two hours after receiving my epidural.
10:00 am: Doctors think it's time to start pushing again.
11:50 am: Kingsley Anne Tompkins is born weighing 9 lbs 9 ozs and is 22 inches long. She has some light brown hair and is just beautiful.

So, did Kingsley end up sharing a birthday with Grandma? I know that was a possibility.
