3..........salmon cakes eaten at my last dinner with Liza on the inside - my first nonfruit meal in days.
2..........friends who joined us for cards that last night.
1..........very grumpy pregnant woman complaining of an achey back.
0..........hopes of going into labor that night.
100......% positive I was in labor when I woke up at 2:15am with weak contractions.
6..........calls to our wonderful midwife as she drove an hour to our house.
4..........hours of very exciting, manageable active labor.
1..........hour of transition.  It.hurt.like.a.mofo.

1..........beautiful baby girl born at home!
