{False alarm}

Yesterday, we spent the majority of the day at the hospital....but no baby yet! I started having really bad contractions during church yesterday and told Trav we needed to make a run to the hospital. They monitered me for like four hours, but I didn't dilate past a three and the contractions were still pretty bad. We finally opted to try some meds to help slow down the contractions and decided to go home. I slept for a few solid hours, and when I woke up felt a little better. Today I had another doctors appointment and still haven't dilated anymore, but the contractions are a little more bearable. I am not due for almost two weeks, so they won't induce me yet. So, we are playing the waiting game now. We'll keep you all posted!

Since the doctor advised us not to go too far for Thanksgiving we stuck around here. Most of our family on both sides was out of town, but we had a great time getting together with the family that was here. We ate dinner on Thanksgiving at Mimi's Cafe, which was actually really good. I am not too into Thanksgiving food anyway, so I enjoyed some yummy french toast and hot chocolate for dinner. We did some fun things as a family and were able to catch up on some of the new movies that are out too. We hope you all had a great holiday!


Boston getting a bowling lesson from Trav.
Gotta love that smile!

Savy wouldn't look at the camera, of course, but I had to get a picture of her cute little bowling shoes.

Oh shoot! I hate the waiting game. Hopefully it wont be too much longer. I hate when you think it is today and then they send you home, it stinks. But we are excited for you, how fun! Let us know when your baby comes!

Glad to hear all is OK at least a couple of days ago. Anxious to have the little guy here. Keep us posted. I tried to call a couple of times. I wish we could have had family together on Thanksgiving Day for the few of us here but Patti had family here for several days.. We will look to another time and I am looking to a get together during the holidays on Sat. the 27th, will get more to you. Take care and keep me posted.

Nicole said...

I didn't realize you were that close to having you baby! Good luck with everything, keep us posted!

Happy that your still hanging in there and baby is too. Good luck with the December delivery! My baby will be two this month. I was due the 26th and I got her on the 15th, going into labor myself. Which is so weird cause I went past my due date on the other two. December babies are very unpredictable! Good Luck!

Good luck tomorrow! I'm sorry that you haven't had him yet. I know how miserable it gets! Congrats and I can't wait to see him!
