The Story
As most of you know, my due date was April 30. So you can imagine how I was feeling come May 3. I was having contractions like crazy, but they never got closer then seven minutes apart. I was getting really frustrated and expressed this frustration to my doctor at my appointment on Monday. Since I was only dilated to a two, I was sure that I would not be having a baby anytime soon. Boy was I wrong. After listening to my complaints, my doctor decided to break my water right then and get things going. I was shocked. I called Carson and told him to go home, get our stuff and come to the hospital because we were gonna have a baby that night. He didn't believe me at first. My doctor broke my water at 3:30 p.m. and Brooks was born at 2:40 a.m. He is healthy as can be and Carson and I couldn't be happier.
