Max came three weeks early on a Monday morning. I was supposed to be at work, but instead we were at the hospital. My water broke Sunday morning. My OB/GYN and Pediatrician were both out of town for the Holiday week. It was very exciting; the anesthesiologist was not in the hospital - I was dialated to an 8 by the time he arrived and was at a 10 when he left, it was raining outside, and the doctor on call couldn't retrieve my records from my doctors office. Thankfully, Max came early so I didn't have to have a big baby or a C-Section, which was the current plan.

However, through all the craziness, Max is so lucky as he will always share his birthday with Grandpa Lake!
