My actual labor for Sebastian's birth was short and intense. On July 15 I woke up at 2:10 a.m. with painful contractions about ten minutes apart. I lay in bed for about half an hour and then started to move around the house. I sat next to our kitty Zeus for a while and used his purrs to help me breathe through the pain. At 4:00 I woke Richard up, or rather my vocalizations woke him up. We called our midwife and Doula at about 5:00, and my water broke soon after. By the time everyone arrived, around 6:00, I was laboring in the pool. At 6:30 I said I felt "pushy," so Richard ran to wake up Julien. 20 minutes later we had a new baby boy!
