I woke up at 4 am and said the words that change lives: "It's time to go to the hospital."
I'll skip the icky parts and tell this story, of the 'one day it'll be funny' variety.
I called the midwife, and she asked me some questions. Then she said Ok, you've got a while. Take a shower, drink a cup of tea, then head to the clinic. As I was getting out of the shower, the lightbulb in the bathroom exploded, and I screamed. A. ran in thinking he was going to have to pick the baby up off the floor of the tub. If only it were that easy!
At 8:19 pm we had a healthy baby boy, 6 lb 12 oz, 19 inches long.
