well my DH was really excited about the impending arrival of our joy. he came along to classes and read the bits of books that i pointed out to him (i think it would have been too much to expect him to take the initiative on that one LOL!).

then...DD decides to come 2 weeks early. i had spooky pregnancy premonition and told DH that fateful morning that maybe he shouldnt referee that soccer game in that town 2 hours drive away that afternoon. he kissed me on the cheek and told me that we were just being over-cautious. 2 and bit hours later my waters break. annoying. i knew it would happen.

so anyway, in full swing of labour. contractions are 2-3 minutes apart from the start, it's pretty tough going, a girl could use some words of encouragement, or a massage or help into the shower...bit hard to get that when DH is SNORING on the couch.

He slept through 9 hours of the 9 and half hour labour. only woke up with a start when the OB and midwives came rushing in as i hit transition and began to push! LOL!

ah well. i guess i can say that i laboured all by myself, but not really how i envisioned it (or how he did for that matter...mmm that massage would have been good! LOL!).
