Nicole's birthday - Let the celebrations begin!

Often I don't remember what date exactly I did certain things, but today I remember with clarity what I was doing 26 years ago today.

The day started with a doctors appointment and the doctor telling me that I was going to have a baby that day. Apparently, the doctor knew that I was having contractions and being it was my first what did I know. So I stopped off at my work where my Dad worked too and told them I was going to have a baby today. Then off to Rayme's work and told him the news and did a few errands and thought maybe I should make sure I was ready to go to the hospital like pack a suitcase or something. Then the thought occurred to me that maybe taking a nap would be a good idea, since at the time I didn't know how long this labor thing was going to take. The doctors instructions was if I anything happened to call him and go to the hospital. Rayme decided to come home from lunch and check on me to make sure everything was okay. Probably as soon as he got to work I was making a phone call that it was time to go to the hospital, because I was feeling weird and remembering that the doctor told me to call him I did what I was told and was instructed to go to the hospital. About 4 hours later we welcomed our first born baby girl Nicole to our family.
