Guest Confession by Jackie: I am a proud new mama to a beautiful baby girl born in September. She has two big brothers to keep up with.

CJ was almost born on the way to the hospital, which is 30 minutes away from our house. It was a stressful drive but something we had been through before. With our second baby, I will admit, it was mostly my stubbornness that got us into the trouble. I was afraid of driving all the way to the hospital, just to be sent home, so I just continued to deal with the contractions at home, then my water broke and the baby was ready to be born – NOW.

With our third baby, I was extra cautious to not put my husband and myself through the stress of driving 80 MPH while in intense labor again. So, long story short, I went to the doctor early on when my contractions started. I was sent home, only to have my water break five minutes after walking into my living room. Both times, I had to use the lamaze “holding” techniques that I did not bother practicing (seriously, who needs those?). Let’s just say, true road rage is needing to give birth to a baby now, but you have to wait for the &#@$* red light to turn and the &#@$* four cars in front of you to move it and the &#@$* pedestrians to get the hell out of the way!

The end results were perfect, although I still am not happy with the doctor that sent me home.

Oh, and baby #1? My water broke in a church, about an hour before a wedding that my husband and I were suppose to be in. At least I was the best dressed mama that time.
