Mama was sleeping peacefully in bed when all of a sudden she felt like she had to go to the bathroom. But, she didn’t make it in time. How embarrassing! So she changed clothes and climbed back in bed, only to have to go to the bathroom again 15 minutes later. Once again she didn’t make it in time. Feeling confused about her blunders, Mama reasoned that something must be happening. It was about 3:45am and normally she wouldn’t have bothered her sleeping husband, but thinking it could be “baby time” she decided to ask for Daddy to come and help. “Brycen I need you” she called out. Noticing the cries came from the bathroom, Daddy kindly replied “Do you need some toilet paper?” Mama informed him that the toilet paper supply was not the problem. After assessing the situation they still weren’t sure what to do so they both went back to bed. But as soon as they lay down Mama quickly jumped back up and headed back to the bathroom. Well that was enough to convince them to start packing up and getting ready for their baby to come. The bags still needed packed because the baby wasn’t due for another month, but they packed all up and drove to the hospital and walked right into Labor and Delivery. Mama told the nurses that she thought she was in labor but that the doctor was out of town. Shirley, the RN on call that night, reassured them that she would get the on-call doctor and took Mama and Daddy into the labor room to prepare to bring their little bundle of joy into the world. Nine hours of hard work and patience paid off as they welcomed their baby boy to their family.
