35 Weeks And Counting....becomes Labor And Delivery!!!!


Well for those of you that don't already know, on Wednesday night, (2nd April), Kim lost her mucus plug...no big deal, right? That's what everyone told us. It could mean 1 or 2 days to a few weeks.

Thursday afternoon Kim and I think "Hey, we should really go pick up a car seat/stroller as a just in case" We pick up a very nice one at Toys R Us in Cedar Rapids, and driving home, Kim's water breaks (she's actually driving). We come home, call the labor and delivery at UIHC and pack our bags and head down there.

So, to cut a long story short, we are in our room by 8.30 or so. By 11.30 Kim's getting stronger contractions, by 4.30AM she's in the hot tub, by 4.35AM she's ready to push, (nurse tells her not to, even though Kim knew it was time). 5.15 or so our GP turns up, 5.30 Kim begins pushing, 5.45AM on 4-4-08,

Samuel Rodney Lennox is born, 5 weeks premature, 17.5" long and 5lb 9oz!!
