It was early Black Friday morning, Thanksgiving was over but the turkey bloat was still slowing everything down. Leftovers were abundant but at 3 AM, who has time for that? Caitlin had warned me after Turkey dinner to pack my bags, “in case I go into labor.” I packed them reluctantly, who would ever want to make a woman pregnant with twins upset, certainly not me!  I heard some talking on a phone at 3 AM and recognize Caitlin’s voice while I laid in hibernation in our bedroom and it all registered… “Hi, I am calling to tell the midwives that my water just broke.” I immediately jumped up, got out of bed and knew it was go-time. I remembered back to Lincoln’s birth, the intensity of it, the joy and the emotions, it’s an incredible experience and I was thrilled that we were going to be having another awesome experience in the coming hours.
