I think I'm in labour, guys. Those who want more details (what, are you nuts?) can check out my latest post at [livejournal.com profile] pregnant. Well-wishes and prayers appreciated.
I've been having contractions steadily stronger, sharper, and closer together for three hours now, so I think I'm on my way. Will be calling the midwife soon.

Ouch. Why was I impatient for this again?
Well, I was right about it being labour...

Born in our ensuite bathroom's corner tub, though I did most of my labouring just walking around the house. Anyway, he's healthy, strong, and sleeping peacefully as I type. Pictures have been taken and will be forthcoming, I just didn't feel like hobbling back to the bedroom to get the camera just now.

Thanks so much to all of you who prayed and sent good wishes! The labour was fast and intense and I ache all over, but as you can tell from the fact that I'm sitting up and typing, I'm doing very well.
