June 30: Momma Passed the critical 34th week! Better for the baby if he
comes!
June 24-28: Wife starts early labor contractions. At only 33 weeks, doctors
give her medicine to stop the contractions. She spends four days in the
hospital. Daddy and the kids are lost without momma, but manage to feed,
clothe and survive without the "boss" around.

July 18th: Momma starts hard (painful) contractions 2 minutes apart. A rush to the
hospital and 6 hours later, they subside to less than 2 an hour and minor. The level
of intesity and the duration (some lasted more than 5 minutes) made us believe it was
time. We get released by 8:30am the next day (darn it)

July 24: Another set of hard and closely timed contractions come around 10pm and we

4am contractions subside and we head home by 5am Wednesday.

JULY 27: 10pm-painful contractions begin. Momma
labored at home for an hour before we headed to
the hospital... July 28 @2:10am the baby makes
his arrival with some great crying before his
shoulders have even cleared. The nurses loving call
him "peanut". Momma dialated so quickly she gave
birth with little to no pain meds. Momma makes this
look so easy. We all come home the next day!
