D-Day Begins!

On the evening of August 29th, Shaun and I went to bed early. At about 11:30 pm I finally woke Shaun up. I hadn't slept a wink because I was too busy counting contractions! They were 5 minutes apart and lasting one minute. We went into the nursery and I rocked myself in the rocker. Shaun laid on the floor with Lucy. At 12:30 we finally called the doctor. When the doctor heard Shaun say I was 11 days late (it was an on call doctor) and was having contractions, he immediately told us to go to the hospital. I jumped in the shower, grabbed our bags, took Lucy (my parents picked her up at the hospital that night) and stood by the door for a moment realizing that the next time we would come through the door we would have our little girl and a wonderful journey in our family's life would begin.
