Nov 23rd 2005 - the beginning

Today is wednesday. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. Appa has a conference scheduled from Sunday. You gotta be born today!!!
Went to the doctors today morning. Dr Kumari checked amma and said that she is only 1cm dilated. She also said that you may be born in a couple of days or after a week or 10 days!!! Amma has been working quite hard; climbing steps; eating spicy food; except jumping on the trampoline...
Then I told the doctor that I might have to go to the conference and asked her whether it was ok...Doctor said it was but she became v angry.
Back at home, amma had lot of pain and kept calling me at office. Since, today is the last day before the thanksgiving holidays, I was very busy. Came home at 4:45 pm. Amma was really in pain. She was walking around the house every 4 minutes like a kutty potta poonai. I timed her contractions with a watch...it was every 5 minutes for 45 secs...The doctors had asked us not to come too early lest they send us back!!! Doctors want contractions of 60 second durations!
Amma was in tears and wanted to go to the hospital.
