A little after 7pm last night I started to have contractions with severe lower back pain (which felt like the back labor I had with Brent). I went to the bathroom, drank water, walked around nothing was helping and it was getting worse. I called Labor and Delivery and of course they wanted me to come in. Ryan wanted to take Brent with us because by now it is about 8pm but instead he called the Grants. So we rush Brent over to their house. Ryan finally returns from taking Brent in and the car won't start, it is completely dead, no power what so ever. Ryan and John thought about jumping it but when they hooked the cables to the battery the other end of the cables were sparking meaning there was enough juice. They finally figure out how to get the car out of park and into neutral to push it because Ryan parked in front of a fire hydrant. Meanwhile I am in pain on the side of the road. We left the car with John and took his to the hospital. We arrive 45 minutes later after I told the nurse it only takes 5 minutes to get to the hospital. They hooked me up to the monitors and yes I was having contractions, so a little while later they checked my cervix. Then they gave me a shot to stop the contractions it helped a little but did not get rid of them completely. A few hours later we welcomed a boy....
back home who did not care that we left him because he was able to stay up, eat popcorn and watch movies. John was able to figure out that the connections on the battery were lose and thats why it would not start. We all crashed soon after we got home.
