The day before I was born

41 weeks and I was just feeling much too comfy inside Mommy's tummy. In this picture, she gets to bounce on a rubber ball beside her bed to induce me to come out. Here, she manages a smile for the camera because another contraction had just passed. My Dad's job was to keep track of how much time there was between contractions.


The contractions have become unbearable and Mommy had to take the epidural. It made her feel better but it left her shivering and feeling cold. With Mom well wrapped in a blanket, she and Dad still took the time to kid each other, narrating while videotaping.
