Are we talking about the birth of my first son?

The Doctor said I was due Nov 15 I was ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that I was not due until december. (and I was so carrying so small that the doctor was buffaloed).
First day of Nov I was checked and he said anytime. Uhhuh, I said, sure.
The day before I went into labor I was out working a young horse. Then my DH said, "want to drive up the logging roads to see our friends who live in the mountains this weekend?" I thought that was an awful idea, and he contemplated going alone, but at the last minute he didn't. It's a good thing because my water broke in the middle of the night, nov 4th.
We really didn't have ANYTHING. My baby shower was scheduled for Nov 16th. My sister had sent us some layettes (anyone know what those are?)
and a friend had an old crib that his DOGS had been sleeping in (hey, beggars can not be choosy) so my dear hubby bought a new mattress for that crib, some diapers and diaper pins in the few free hours he had on Monday Morning (son born on Sunday afternoon) and we were set! We were a family and my son who was full term, was what made us a real family.
