Two years ago tonight, I was sitting on the sofa, watching television and eating chips. Typical summer evening in my pregnant state. Jeff and I had eaten Chinese food earlier in the evening. I had terrible tummy pains, and attributed it to dinner. I went to bed early, only to be awakened by more than a stomach ache around 11 p.m.
I told Jeff that I thought that I may be in labor.
He laughed.
"Go back to bed."
I said we had to leave and head to the hospital. I was 32-weeks pregnant. We loaded Nora in the car and headed out fast. I simply thought that I would be told that it was merely the Chinese food, and that I should not be taking in so darn much sodium.
We arrived at the hospital only to find out that I was 6 cm dilated. I was not going home.
I remember it very clearly.
The first words out of my mouth when the nurses looked at each other, horrified, were "OH SH*@!"
Jeff's smug behavior quickly turned...and he was immediately humbled.
I sent Jeff home with a laundry list of things that I needed. He took dear Nora, fast asleep, to his parent’s home.
I was told that I had an infection and could not have any pain medication. I was to deliver sans any epidural.
Elliot arrived shortly after 7 a.m. the next morning…

Happy happy Big 2 dear Elliot.
Hugs fr your friend Vincent & co
Happy birthday dear sweet Elliot!! Sending many hugs and kisses from our family!!
That delivery sounds a lot like mine. I thought I had diarehha. Hubby was convinced I was NOT having our third daughter. I'd never been in labor because of an induced delivery and planned c-section.
He is so beautiful! Happy Birthday, Little Elliot.
