On September 18th, 2019 I think I woke up with contractions around 2am. 

I shared a snack with my baby girl and tried to get some more sleep. Around 7:30 I went to bible study because it was a Wednesday. I listened, wrote prayer requests in my journal and carried on with the day. I was in communication with my doula Brittany and when the contractions got harder she recommended a shower. 

“Shower felt amazing!” 

I texted her. Since contractions were remaining consistent we decided to drop off our first daughter at our pastor’s house and head to the hospital. My friend Krystal said I sat on her couch not seeming like a woman in labor. I was calm and seemed like my normal self. Next we headed to the hospital. 

We arrived around 4pm and were in triage until about midnight.
