Well, Cathy did not make it to 40 weeks. On Wednesday morning, she suggested I put our bags in the car...hmm. Later that day at 4pm, she called me at work and said her water had broken. She had been feeling some nausea on Tuesday and Wednesday but had thought it was the flu. Well, suddenly she was having major contractions 4-5 mintues apart. And she thinks she's a whimp. I rushed home from work, we rushed to the hospital, an ultrasound showed that the boy was breech (much to our surprise), and an exam showed that Cathy had dilated to 5 cm. A C-section was scheduled (hospital policy for any breech baby) and by 6:34pm little AC was born.
