ummmm... zero? i hope?

So we spent a few hours at the hospital last night.

Contractions anywhere from 20-4 minutes apart..... No dilation.
Sent home to "try to get some sleep" "re-asses in the morning."

So I'm re-assessing and I cannot take this much longer. The contractions may not be regular and they may not be "real labor" but painful enough to make me unable to walk when they hit and writhing on the bed all night long, pitifully bicycling my legs to make the pain in my hips a little bit better. The contractions go down from my belly into my hips, down the legs....

This morning I called the OB again and he said to go in if I feel like I can't do this anymore and we will do the C-section today.

So it looks like we are having a baby today. Sometime. Probably.

Updates to come.

Even though he had to work, we made the best of Chris's birthday. Below are some pictures from both our breakfast and dinner we had together.

Also, CUPCAKES!

Today I promised myself I would rest a lot more than I have been, but there is just so much left to be done before Monday.

I hand washed all the rest of the baby's clothes that I could not put in the machine, especially the knit clothes that my mother made and the beautiful hand embroidered gown she made for my oldest sister to come home from the hospital some 50-something years ago and Kumar will wear home from the hospital as well.

All of it is now spread out on the dining room table drying.

I am seriously going into cute overload with all the tiny baby clothes I have been washing and folding and fondling the last few weeks. We also got a TON of clothes yesterday from our good friend (Hi Cyia!) and I cannot wait to dress him up in all of this stuff. *sigh*

We are planning on having a very quiet night here at home and I will do my best to at least stay awake until midnight.

We wish you all a wonderful and safe New Year and nothing but happiness and rainbows in the coming year!

We went to the mall today. I can't wait til the 'Mar is old enough to wear J Crew.

Chris had a fun time on the "Customer Service" line. Luckily there was a chair close by for me.

I am still pregnant and if it's possible, bigger than I was yesterday. Contractions have been coming every evening, 4 days running now. I packed my hospital bag today, just in case. Those big contractions have a tendency to hurt and therefore scare the heck out of me.

The end.
