OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This is the last picture taken of me during labor. Shortly after this shot I moved to the bathroom to squat over the toilet, sit in the bath tub, return to the bed laying on my side, then finally back on my knees holding Rusty's shoulders while pushing. Active labor was about 3 hours, pushing took 30-45 minutes. All total, labor was approximately 23 hours long starting the previous night just before midnight.
