not as planned, but it was perfect

Our son, Christian, finally arrived on July 22, 12-days overdue. The birth was nothing as we have planned but nonetheless it was perfect.

and so we thought…

that we were gonna have a Canada-Day baby. I started having lower abs contractions on Monday night, but the contractions went away as I downed a couple glasses of water. Then on Tuesday morning, my back started to contract. So I stayed home the entire day, waiting for things to happen, y’know, contractions, water breaking…
But [...]
