Almost time

At 8 pm Thursday night, laura's water broke. It was pretty slow. We were in the middle of packing. We finished packing, then Laura made some notes for her substitute then we took showers and I cut my hair. Then we dropped school stuff off at Leslie's ( a co worker) for the sub. We got to the hospital at 1037. Contractions got harder and were very close but not consistent . She got her epidural about 1230am. Now it is 212a and she is falling asleep. Everything is going fine. Just waiting until it is time. 5cm about 1245.

After a 120 minute nap... with a few trips to the bathroom so maybe a 90 minute nap, she is feeling fine.
Her mom came over in the afternoon to help grade school papers since she went home early. It worked out perfectly since her maternity leave sub was in today volunteering. She was able to step right in and take over. We are getting ready to go for a short walk. Of course 6am comes early for her. We are packing bags tonight

Wednesday Laura had a long day at school. Worked 7:15 to 6 then came home and worked another couple hours. She didn't sleep well Wednesday night and was tired and felt achy and blah Thursday morning. She went to work but decided at noon she should go home and rest. So her plan is to take a couple hour nap then her mom is coming over to help grade papers in the afternoon. A teachers job is never done.
A little rest should help out. Updates coming soon.

37 week check up

Tag Teaming the yard.

She mows while I trim, edge and blow everything off. Takes both of us an hour.

This is part of an email that friend and co-dancer Doug Fowler sent out to our large group of line dancers.

"By the way, the country dancing group that y'all are in almost berthed a new dancer Saturday night!      The Rice Cake is almost done in the oven!!!    Shew it was a false alarm!   

 

Now, I have been coaxing the Momma-To-Be to come out Tuesday night as the count down has started!      I  told Momma and Daddy-To-Be that if the oven door pops open on a Tuesday night, we will shut down the place to have a hoot'n nanny at the hospital while the youngin comes dancin right down the hallway!!! 

 

So, y'all need to come out to celebrate!!!! "

Laura is ripping up the dance floor at ale marry's saturday night. Counting down the days

We learned something new

We ate a little late Monday night. Had chinese takeout. Bourbon Chicken and rice (not real Bourbon).
Around 12:30am she was tossing and turning and groaning. She was feeling blah. She had some tums but they had no effect. I looked online to see if Zantac was safe. Never found a yes or a no BUT did read that a banana will help with indigestion type stuff. About 5 minutes later after half a banana, she was feeling better and finally fell asleep . So bananas are helpful if you eat chinese food late.

Another trip to the Doctors

Wednesday Laura went for another check up. Everything is fine. She is gaining the average weight so she is happy about that. She had an extra long appointment because the doctor was called into labor so Laura had to wait and extra hour. But in a few weeks we could end up doing the same to someone else. Her first week of school is going great. This is her best class so far. She is very happy they are calm. She gets tired easy but she is getting though it.
