A dozen

Twelve years ago I went into labor during the day but carried on with most of my usual activities. It was about 11pm when We went off to the hospital with our little Game Fanatic in tow. Within half an hour of arrival, the Scientist’s mum arrived to whisk him away so he would have to hear his mum howling any longer…I wasn’t nearly so vocal the first time around. I then spent several hours battling a doctor keen on breaking my waters to move things along…except I kept having contractions and didn’t want them broken before the right time. Eventually nature took its course in that area but that little guy was definitely not moving out of his comfortable accomodation. It was several hours later a consultant came along and took charge and the Scientist was able to watch our Lego Lover as he entered the world and joined our family. Happy birthday to my beautiful Lego Lover!
