Ouch! That Hurts ............

My younger sister came to stay. We are just a few weeks away from the pending birth of this baby in my tummy.

My Little Man is growing like a weed and loves to sit in my lap (sort of fits!) and rub my belly. He loves to feel the baby move. He keeps saying," Sa baby!" and giggles. It is so cute.

I am having labor pains today. Really! It isn't time yet! I am not ready.

The cradle hasn't come. Grandpa Phil made one when his first grandchild was born, a little girl just a few months before Little man came! They both slept in the cradle. It was recently used by grandchild number three for Grandpa Phil.

Little Man, Bug and I are off to the doctors. I barely fit behind the steering wheel. Darn baby keeps kicking the steering wheel and oh no! Another contraction!

What's that I see?? Flashing lights behind my car?? What???

Officer to me," Please step out of the car."
I look at him. I look down at my belly....
"Can you help me get out?” I ask.
Officer,” No."

Officer," Have you been drinking?"  
"What!” says I. "NO? I am pregnant and having contractions!"

Officer Pales and gulps," Where are you going to?"
I say," To the doctor's office."
Officer," Follow me!".

So I did.

Once there, the officer helps me out of the car while Bug gets Little Man.

Doctor tells me I am fine and that it is false labor. Really?? I think to myself. It sure feels real!

Home we go......

At about 11:30 PM on March 17th my water breaks........

The baby is on it's way
