false alarm

I couldn't sleep Tuesday night...not a wink. Then at 2 am I started having contractions. After about an hour, they were pretty regular...about 3-5 min apart and very uncomfortable. On top of this, I thought my water might be leaking...I won't go into the details.

When I went into labor with Belle...she came so quickly; so we wanted to give our family plenty of warning. Aron's mom left Ripley about 4:30...and my parents left vacation in Florida about 7.

I went ahead and got an appointment with the doctor to see if indeed my water did break (they don't believe it did). But at about 2:00 Wednesday the contractions slowed and finally stopped.

Oops. We at least got a nice little visit with Grandma out of the ordeal!

And an ultrasound as well....

He is measuring about 6lbs 2 oz...thank you God!

And I am measuring 36 1/2 cm @ 37 weeks...wohoooo!

I also just opened all of my birthday cards, and they were all so beautiful and perfect. Thank you everyone who loved on me in this way; it means more than you know.

Here's a random shot of Belle helping momma bake cookies.
And another of Belle soaking in her Grandma Jackie...serving her pizza and tea.
