This is it!

I am finally in labor. YAY! Emma woke me up about 2:00am crying, and I have been having VERY regular, strong surges ever since. It is about 4:00am now. I am sure this is it I listened to my Birth Practice CD as soon as I woke up. I was just trying to relax and hopefully fall back to sleep. It was really nice, except Emma was in our bed and every few minutes she would talk or say “drink” or “pickle” she is so funny and tries everything! Finally at about 3:15am I told Scott I was in labor and to take her back to her own bed. She went right back to sleep. I laid in bed a while, just resting, but I couldn’t sleep. I decided to just get up and sit o\n the birth ball and get on the computer for a bit.

My surges feel really great! I am so excited that I will be meeting my baby and holding him in my arms soon I really do look forward to each surge–am I weird or what?

Last night I watched some TV, sitting on my birth ball the whole time trying to get the baby to drop. Then Scott and I tried to naturally speed things up…Ha Ha. Then I went to sleep….maybe that is what got things going.

Yesterday I went to SLC with mom. I brought back the changing table covers that didn’t fit, and got a gift for Burke’s baby (our Grizzlies ticket rep). Mom wanted to return a sports jacket for Dad, and get a different one. We walked around the mall a bit, and it felt good. I could feel quite a bit of pressure down low–and I was happy about that. I wanted to keep walking! We went to Albertson’s, and I bought some food for dinner. I came home and cooked. I just felt like cooking. I also bought the stuff to make corned beef and cabbage–YUM! I was going to make it tomorrow, but now I hope it will have to wait

I think I may try to get some more sleep. I am sure I am going to need my energy!
