So funny! Although I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time! My mom had a similar one with my younger sister. Her water broke and she knew it was time to go to the hospital and have the baby - and my dad asked if he could take a shower first even though he'd been home all day. They finally get to the hospital and they are trying to make her check in at the ER and she says, NO! I need to go upstairs, I am going to have this baby. The orderly who is pushing her wheelchair says, Oh, it's like that, huh? And wheels her upstairs. My mom said he was the only one that believed her all day! She gets to labor and delivery and tells the nurses, Call my doctor, I'm going to have this baby. They say, Well, we'll just get you settled in first and check you and then call the doctor. She says, No really, you need to call the doctor. They take her to the triage room and she puts her feet up for them to check and the nurses cries out, Put your feet down! Your crowning! Get her to the delivery room!! And my mom is like, I told you so! She gets to the delivery room and her doctor has just come out of surgery and still has on his surgical mask as he delivers my baby sister. And every shift changes the nurses say, Oh, you're the one who had the doctor changing his gloves as he was running through halls! Doctors (and nurses) should learn to listen when women say, I am going to have this baby! :) Great birth story! So funny! Although I’m sure it wasn’t funny at the time!

I'm hoping that my #3, when ever it happens isn't this quick. I was 16 hours with my 1st, but only 5 with my 2nd. With Isaiah I didn't really wasn't sure I was in labor because my contractions where anywhere from 11-2 minutes apart and never got regular even when I was pushing I would sometimes got 20 minutes before my next contraction. It was fun trying to convincing my midwife that they are getting stronger and you think it's the real thing. I just wanted to say thank you for posting this story.

But, God totally knew what he was doing in both situations, didn't He? Hmm, your story sounds pretty good after being in the hospital for 3 days before Lil Major showed up…

At least you didn't have your baby in the car like one of my friends. Or at least the doctor was there because another friend I know had her baby before the doctor could even arrive! She got to the hospital and it went VERY fast. Her labor with her older child was something like 20+ hrs... what was up with that! LOL.
