AGUILAR: Hello World!

Jack Parker made his grand arrival November 27, 2011. We thought that we had his birthday planned out for December 1, 2011 but Jack had plans of his own. Friday and Saturday were busy shopping days for me. Saturday night, I settled in on the couch with Kamryn for a movie....I was exhausted! I rested for maybe 10 minutes before my water broke. I thought "Oh no...not tonight...tonight is NOT the night... Jimmy is at work...it's raining cats and dogs...I need to clean the house tomorrow...JIMMY IS AT WORK...TONIGHT IS NOT THE NIGHT. Period. Needless to say, I had no say so. I called my mom freaking out a little. She told me to call Jimmy so he could get a flight home and to call the doctor to tell them we were coming in. When I told him it was time, Jimmy freaked out a little and rushed off the phone to book the first available flight. After I made the phone calls and finished packing up our bags, my dad was at my house to take Kamryn and my mom was there to take me.

As we made our way to Jackson, I still wasn't convinced we were having a baby....until the contractions started about 20 minutes into the drive. Jimmy's flight was scheduled to arrive in Jackson at 9:15 am Sunday. Jack arrived at 6:46 am. My mom was with me, bless her! I don't know what I would do without her.

Daddy didn't make it....talking to Jimmy on the phone while holding his son while he was stuck in Houston waiting on his flight was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
