Tuesday July 19th, 2005
1:45am - Contractions are 5 minutes apart. Tracy called her doctor to let him know. He said to stay at home as long as possible (remember, it's barely 2:00am), then go to the hospital. 2:15am - Can't wait any longer, time to go to the hospital. 3:20am - Lynn couldn't wait any longer and left for the hospital. 3:40am - Tracy's checked-in and dilated to 5cm, everything is going well. 7:45am - Tracy is 7cm and progressing well. I was told over the phone that she was bouncing on a ball and they were getting ready to put her into a warm bath. In the background over the phone I could hear Tracy breathing as she was taught in birthing class. 9:05am - Tracy is in transition, one of the more difficult parts of labor. The contractions are about 20 seconds apart, so she barely has any time to relax. She is in much more pain now, but everyone there (Lynn, Betsy, Matt, and the nurses) is helping her to breath and work through it without any pain medication. She continues to sit on the big rubber ball for support. 11:00am - Tracy has moved out of transition and is now pushing. She has about 90 seconds between contractions so she has more time to rest. 11:39am - It's a Girl!!!!!!!
