Nine years ago this minute
It’s not often you remember what you were doing nine years ago to the very minute, but I remember.
I was having a contraction. More than two weeks after my due-date, I was finally in labour. And yes, even though I was only having the first contraction, there was no doubt at all that it was labour.
Scratchy started to write down the times of contractions. I had to ask him to make a mental note of the time, support me through the contraction, and then write it down, please.
(Four babies on, we don’t bother with all that writing-it-down stuff ;-))
Ten minutes in, I said we’d phone the midwife if it kept up for another half-hour. With the next contraction, I said, phone now.
Two hours and four minutes after that first contraction, George arrived - my lovely, intense, creative, self-proclaimed-stylish son. Happy Birthday Doodles
