It hurts even looking at myself!!! So, this is my outfits on my days off at home. Belly exposed, and black to make me look slimmer (kidding). We had a false alarm on Sunday. Contractions were 4 minutes apart. So, we got to go into the hospital and get all checked out. They monitored me for a number of hours and my cervix (sp?) was not doing anything so they gave me some shot and medication to stop the contractions. That didn't work the first time, so they hit me again with it and then said to go home. I was at 36 weeks and 2 days and they were not wanting me to have her this early, they want to atleast hold off until I am 37. So today, I had a check up and my cervix is just barely starting to open. I am having contractions, but they are very far apart and irregular. So, we are waiting. If I get to 5 - 7 minutes apart and my cervix continues to have activity, then they may just take this little one out early (c-section). There is no need for me to go into active labor since I can't do anything about it. So although I am praying for God's timing, I am also hopeful that I don't have to wait until the 12th to have this baby. I think she may come early. We will just have to wait and see!!! Thank God for mother's like mine who drop everything and come down to help me since I am on orders to do hardly anything. It is nice to have her here taking care of me and the girls (an Matthew!).

So, that is about it. I am once again, a lady in waiting...just in a different manner now!

On another note, I just want to wish my sister-in-law, Leah a wonderful happy birthday. I love you so much and you are such a great auntie and sister. No one compares to you! And my brother Steve who's birthday is in 2 days! You have and always will be the blessing in our family. We wouldn't be the same without you. I love you dearly and am so proud of the man you are becoming. You are a man of God and I think you are fabulous! Happy Birthday to the both of you. Maybe Lily will come on one of your birthday's!!!
