By The Minute
We had quite the adventure getting our team member across the finish line. Throughout the process I was trying to keep track of major events, medications, and changes. I'm not really sure why this was impressed upon me, but it just seemed like a good idea. It's not one-hundred percent accurate or even complete (see the final hours), but it should help paint a picture.

Per Bri, with how intense the contractions are for Leila, a break may be good to allow Leila to sleep and recover.
