False Alarm

Well, we almost thought we were heading to the hospital at 3am Saturday morning. I started having a few contractions on Friday night around 10:30pm. They started increasing and getting stronger by 2am. They were 2 minutes apart for 45 minutes. We called the doctor and while we were waiting for him to call back, we quickly ran around the house packing a bag for me and a bag for Ella (we are dropping her off at a friend's when the big moment arrives). The doctor said it sounded like I was in early labor and if we were concerned at all to go to the hospital. Then all of sudden the contractions started to subside. So we decided to wait at home and see what happened and they eventually stopped.

It was a good fire drill for us though! And we realized how completely unprepared we were for the baby's arrival this early. So we have spent the weekend getting better prepared.

We almost missed our baby shower! Some friends of ours threw us a little shower on Saturday afternoon. It was so nice of them and they really went all out. They had all kinds of great food, games, gifts, and cake! It was a family shower so the significant others and kiddos were there too. I'll post pictures on our photo site in the next couple days.

And HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY to all the grandparents out there!
