My life began on a Wednesday...

It was 10:30am on October 18th when mommies water broke. With a phone call to the hospital she was told to stay home until the contractions were 5 minutes apart. By 8pm that evening both mommy and daddy casually arrived at the hospital with 2 bags and 2 pillows in-toe. The on staff Obstetrican was Dr. Langlois. Having only met him twice before, mommy soon realized she'd know him much more intimately -- approx 10 hours later that is when I arrived. That Tuesday in the hospital was extremely busy. Sounds of women moaning in agony could be heard between the paper-thin walls. The nurses left my parents alone for long periods of time to attend to the women who were further along. After receiving an Oxytocin drip for an hour, mommies contractions were off the chart. The next time she saw a nurse she started yelling for her to push! In a frantic daze both mommy and daddy were both confused and frightened with thoughts of what was to come. I couldn't breath. My air flow was cut off by my umbilical cord, I was facing the wrong way and I couldn't get out. The doctor first tried to help me out using a vacuum. My head was slick, so that wasn't working. Next he tried two sets of forceps and finally, the day I waited my whole life for, I was born. October 19th, 2005 : 5:34am
