The beginning is near! Contractions made their grand entrance around 1am on Sunday. They were quite irregular in the beginning, but after a couple of calls to the doctor, we headed for the hospital around 2pm. What started as general observation turned into admission late in the afternoon. And so here we are, keeping an eye on the fetal heart monitor and the contractions… waiting.

It looks like Baby still has a good chance of sharing his birthday. Sunday was Rodney’s 8th birthday (apologies to him for missing most of it – I’m sure he’ll knock over something or puke in our bedroom as a way of showing his appreciation) and I don’t think the king of the house would have wanted to share his birthday with Baby. After all, cats are so territorial. Monday is Leanne’s aunt’s birthday and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind sharing her day… I hope.

Baby seems excited for his big day, as demonstrated by all the dance moves he has been putting on. Of course, mommy doesn’t appreciate the punching and kicking… but she’s been really strong through this so far. We’re both extremely tired… hopefully we can catch up on a couple hours of sleep shortly… before the real fun begins!

I’ll keep the latest status here and on Facebook… ‘nite!
