The calm before the storm!
Everyone's anticipating the arrival of Gunnar. My 2 sisters, my niece, my mom, and my sister-in-law were all there. Oh yeah, Grant was there too!
Once the contractions started to get stronger, I got in the shower to help with the pain. after about 45 mins in the shower I felt it was time to deliver. So I got out and got into bed. Here is Grant helping with my breathing. He should be a doula! He was amazing!
Here is the "you did this to me" grab of Grant's shirt.

Stac- I'm so glad he's been a good baby for you. If I remember right, Troy wasn't so easy peasy. So, what a nice blessing.
