Twenty-five years ago I woke to the beep-beep-beep of my pre-smart phone alarm. It took less than a half second for me to wake up. This is it! Today is finally the day! My official due-date had passed uneventfully three days prior. We’d walked the mall for hours, eaten spicy meals, and done all the things the internet tells you will hurry-up a late baby. My OB was in the hospital all day today so said he’d help things along a bit. The only obstacle was bed space on the maternity ward.
