We made it through the hottest summer I can remember! Hoorah! Max came on 9.08.09, one day before his due date at 9:09 in the morning. He weighed in at 9lbs 9ozs, technically .01 ounce less than his big brother did! Crazy!
Everything started around noon on Labor Day finally escalating to undeniable contractions at about 2:30 am on the 8th. I woke Troy just after 4am. He politely asked "Are you sure?" and "How do you know?". We dropped Grayden off at Kerry and Kevin Keys' house (THANK YOU! We would have been lost without you!) and headed for the hospital.
Around 5:30 they finally checked me and said I could stay because I was at a 4! I was so afraid they were going to send me home. Another HOORAH! My doctor was called around 7:00 and he told the nurse to put me on the pit to make sure my contractions kept going, but she had been monitoring me for the last couple hours and decided I didn't need it. She said "I'll give you one drop per hour that way I did what the doc told me, but it won't do much, your body is working fine on its own." Thank You Nurse! My doctor arrived at 8:00 and checked me. Drum roll please... 9cms! WHAT? Everyone was shocked. In just over an hour Max made his debut.
I am thankful for a short labor and delivery!

WOA! I had NO idea you were pregnant, nor that you were getting prepared to move into a new home! Congrats on Max's safe and healthy arrival! As for the home and all that stuff being stolen-- it surprised me that the contractors are dumb enough to house stuff in a house/garage with no locks! My sister's home that is being built right now had ALL of their appliances stolen from the garage that had no locks. I agree with you- thank goodness it's the contractor paying to replace all the stuff and not you!
