In order to tell this story I&rsquom afraid I have to start a little further back than contractions and water breaking and all that loveliness.

So- the planning began&hellipI wanted to connect with my baby throughout pregnancy and begin bonding early so I searched and searched for names.

Laura&rsquos version of the birth story
I guess I knew the end was in sight on Sunday. My mother had been keeping Violet, our 2 year old, for us just in case I went into labor. But when the weekend came and went, we asked her to bring her back to our house on Sunday afternoon. Even though I hadn&rsquot seen my daughter in a day and a half, I didn&rsquot feel like playing or cuddling due to some crampiness and extra Braxton Hicks contractions. I excused m ... read more.
