going to the hospital!

FINALLY!!!

water broke, few cramps but nothing regular yet. taking my time having a shower etc., M&D are also getting ready. we'll pick Anthony up from the office along the way.

Last night the baby was really active, moving all around, and I felt like he was trying to bust free. Had a good sleep, then around 630am woke with Anthony as he was getting ready for work. As he was leaving at 730, I felt something like a cork pop (but it hurt quite a bit) - I updated Anthony on the way out, telling him I just may be calling him at the office today! I felt icky & a bit crampy, but nothing major... then I thought it might be just regular Kenya toilet issues!! Went back to bed with the newspaper and a juice, and then whoooosh! Water broke. So that's it kids! Called Anthony at 8am, and here we are, about to go to the hospital!

It turned out better that M&D came a few days before it started - we caught up on so many things (till 3am every night practically!) and got out to a few places. Now they can drive us to the hospital, and then stay with the kids! That's what grandparents are for, right?

As for updates, I will call or SMS (text message) a few people in select countries (notably Canada & Kenya) and ask them to spread the word. Not sure when I will be back online. My phone may not be on in the hospital but we will get the word out.

HERE GOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
