I was 36 weeks pregnant with Elizabeth. I had been sick and there were dishes in the sink and laundry was piled up. I called my mom and joked that if the baby were to come early it would be that night, since things were in such disarray. Imagine my surprise when I went to sleep that night and woke up a few hours later in labor. I had had no indication that the baby would come early. I had to call my mom back and tell her to come over, for real. Mom came over, we headed off to the hospital and Elizabeth Claire was born just a few hours later.
