On Mothers Day, 31st of May, I was about to put Daniel to bed. All of a sudden, in the middle of brushing Daniels teeth I felt water gushing down my legs; my water broke, almost five weeks before due date. I just couldn't believe it was happening. Daniel needed to go to bed, Nicholas was out with friends, Marc was way too calm, I had one more week at work and then I was supposed to be home for three weeks and, well, chill and clean. I didn't have a hospital bag packed, the cradle wasn't put together yet, we had no diapers and what else do you need? Panic! But the water broke, so I had to rethink everything. We would have a baby within 48 hours! Crazy.

So I called the hospital, Marc called Nicholas, I threw some stuff in a bag and off we went. At the hospital they told me that since the pregnancy wasn't a full length one, it was week 35+3 days, they wanted me to stay until the baby was born. So Marc went back home to take care of the boys and I stayed at the hospital waiting for the labour to begin. It began on Tuesday. And after a couple of hours of not so much fun, we had our daughter on Tuesday 2nd of June. She was small, but perfect in every way. 47 cm and 2505g.
