Well quite the Mother's Day.....we welcomed Andrew Callum Cornell into our lives at 9:52pm May 8, 2011. It seems that both our children need to have stories to go along with their births. Matty's as most people know was that he didn't really want to come out and when he did he gave us a scare in having to be in the NICU for the first couple of days. Andrew on the other hand couldn't wait to come as he didn't even let us get to the hospital. Contractions began around 4-4:30pm on Sunday and I told John that he shouldn't plan on going to work on Monday, but we thought we had lots of time seeing that Matty was about 12hrs, boy were we wrong. So we had family over for dinner and then I went up stairs to rest as the contractions were starting to form more of a pattern. around 45min later I thought I should get in the tub cause it helped last time. I called my mom who came over and John called the midwife. She said it sounded like we had another 2-3hrs to go but if the contractions got worse to head to the hospital and she would meet us there. Well no more then 5mins later I said we better go. Once I got out of the tub I said no you better call 911 cause I don't think I'm going to make it to the truck. John called 911 while I laid on the bed to get through another contraction, next thing I know I'm pushing and John is delivering our little guy into the world. The ambulance and midwife showed up about 10-15mins after that and everyone was declared healthy. So no hospital was needed and now we're a family of four.
