Birth Story, Part I: The Onset.

I have a feeling that if I try to do this in one superlong entry, I'll leave out more than I want to, so I'm going to try breaking it apart. The whole birth thing was kind of traumatic, and although I know that it doesn't matter, I am having a really hard time getting over it, so I want to write it down in as much detail as I can. It might help. I also don't want to forget anything later on, which I know I will--the details already are getting fuzzy.
