KANSAS CITY -- You would think she was a little busy, giving birth and all. But, one Missouri mom recently felt the need to post online updates about the birthing process, while she was in labor.
Candy Tai kept her Twitter followers updated every step of the way Tuesday. Her first post at 1:51 a.m. read: "Off 2 have a baby! This kid wants out NOW!"
Once at the hospital she tweeted, "Contractions coming on strong....baby soon! Kids in room with me watching Bolt!"
She also wrote about not using any pain medication: "1st time without pain meds..what was i thinking?!"
Finally, she posted an update showing the finished product. "Fresh baked baby! Jacob David arrived at 6:59 a.m." She attached a picture of her newborn son.
Tai calls herself an avid mommy blogger. She runs a website KC Metro moms.com.
As for taking her mommy blogging to a whole new level, she says, it kind of just happened.
"I just really didn't have a plan. I just did it when I could and I didn't make an extra effort to do it. I just did it between contractions," she said.
Tai said women often forget all the details when they're in labor. "And so I think having a record of the details helps preserve those memories and remembering what a special time it was."
Baby Jacob joins older brothers Nathan and William.
