Shelly and Chris are such a fun and sweet couple that made me feel comfortable from the moment I met with them and their adorable son Jack. We talked about Shelly's previous labor that promptly started on her due date.....and then continued for 57 hours. She gave a disclaimer that "it really wasn't hard labor until the last 45 hours"!!!! She delivered naturally at home and was hoping for a shortened version of that labor for baby number 2.
Things could not have gone more different. Shelly and Chris patently waited, and waited and waited, until 11 days past her due date for their blessed little girl. Shelly text me at 1:17 am to let me know she was 2-5 minutes apart. At 1:58 little Crosbi Crockett was born. Luckily the wonderful midwife arrived a few minutes before. Although I was a bit disappointed to arrive after big event, I am sure if Shelly had to pick between the"marathon" labor or the "sprint," I am fairly certain she would take the "sprint". Welcome little Crosbi Crockett, you were worth the wait.
