When my due date (November 4) passed with no excitement, I convinced myself that my baby girl would be a week late and would make her appearance on 11-11-11!
Thus, I was pretty surprised when I started having contractions at church on Sunday morning! I didn't say anything to Drew until after the service because I didn't want to freak him out. He's the type that would get all worried and be all, "Do we need to leave? I think we should leave!" :)
After church, I told him that I was having contractions, but for some reason it didn't register with him that I meant real ones (I'd been having regular Braxton Hicks for weeks). Guess I shouldn't have worried! When he finally realized that I thought labor had started, he reacted predictably.
Although my contractions were pretty irregular, we went ahead and called the midwife who recommended we come on in to the birth center. Apparently with second babies, labor can pick up pretty quickly. We arrived at the birth center around 3:30pm and Hallie was born that night at 10:48.
