The afternoon before Judah was born, we headed to the creek for the evening. I was not in labor at all. No contractions or nothin.' We had a great time like usual, and I never suspected anything would happen. A couple hours after getting home and getting the kids to bed, my water broke. That had never happened to me before, so it was very weird, and I still wasn't sure if I was in labor. I still had no contractions for at least another hour and a half. Finally they started up, and we decided to go to the hospital. After dropping the kids off with some friends, we headed to the hospital. Judah was born speedily. It was a total of five hours from when my water broke to when Judah was born. I am very thankful for that.
Anyway, here are the pictures I took on our last creek trip before Judah was born.
Jacob and I built this dam/wading pool. Picking up lots of heavy rocks may have helped things start up.
