After having a muddy driveway for almost a year, we finally had it poured. Mark Doyle (who is in our ward) and his crew started the first week of June. It was exciting and intersting to watch the cement poured. Since our driveway is so big they poured it in three sections starting with the two outside sections. On June 13 they came in the afternoon to pour the center section. While they were pouring, I was using the restroom when I felt something drop in my pelvis area and then a small trickle of water came out. My water had broke. I want to have Harper put her handprints in the cement and when I talked to Mark about it he said we could do it right before they did the brush finish which was the last thing to do. Well, when my water broke they were still smoothing the cement out and were not ready for the brush finish. I debate if my water had really broke and I didn't tell James for 30 minutes. About an hour later I started to get contractions so I told James if we were going to get Harper's handprints we needed to do it now. James told Mark my water broke and he and James quickly put Harper's handprints in the cement. We love our new driveway and it is a great play area for Harper. She loves to be outside playing barefoot on the driveway.

I wrote her name and the year but realized I wanted the date so Mark's worker put the date for us as we were leaving for the hospital.
