After the puppy, the major house reno, I guess we were looking for our next project...So in 2007 we announced our pregnancy. We kept it a secret from the families until after 3 months. We gathered everyone around to unveil a special dessert and brought out a ice cream cake from DQ that said "we're having a baby". Cathy, Neil's mom, had to read it twice.
I was due in August and we were all very excited. We found out that we'd have a girl. I was dying to know. I can't say pregnancy was 'good time fun' but it wasn't really that bad. I wasn't huge and still was very mobile, even at the end. In fact, at 6 months, I was golfing in Maui. I took August off even though she wasn't due until the 30th. I took it easy, got her room and clothes ready and spent some quality time with Mac.
So when my water broke on Fri. August 17 I was ready. Unfortunately the hospital wasn't. My water broke at 4am on Friday, no contractions, I tried to get into the hospital for induction twice. Then finally, I started my own contractions as I knew somebody had to do something. Miss Mya was very comfortable in mommy's tummy so it took 5 hours of convincing/pushing to get her out. At the hospital, some nurses, would come in and say 'oh you're 5 hour labour'. Normally the wouldn't let you push for that long, but there were many other cases more serious than mine. So I told them I just wanted to push and didn't want forecepts or c-section. Finally she arrived at 4pm. Again, sorry to the softball team for not making it but we were a little busy. But you still won. Congrats again.
