Scott just left for another trip. He will be back in 2 days. I have gotten to that stage where I am worried about him being gone. We had a big talk about it yesterday, that really ended up being a big fight. I am just so worried about going into labor while he is gone, and having to deliver this baby alone He doesn’t seem very worried–he is convinced that it will be the same as it was with Emma and Ian, and that I will have contractions for hours before. With both of them I did have a fair amount of warning, but this could be totally different. This is my third baby, and it could be a very short time from first contraction to delivery. The contractions I had on Sunday made me even more nervous. They seemed so real, like labor was really starting. If I have that again while Scott is out of town, how will I know if it is real or not??? I just would be devastated if Scott missed the birth of our last child!

On another note, we bought a hot tub yesterday. It is going to be awesome! We got a pretty big one that holds 6 adults. I would have gotten the smaller one that was about $1000 cheaper, but Scott really wanted the bigger one. We got to pick out all of the jetpacks, and I think it is going to be awesome. It will take 2 weeks to manufacture it, and we should have it very soon after that. Hopefully we will have it before the baby comes. It would be nice to spend early labor in the hot tub It will also be a nice way to relax after the baby comes. I am looking forward to spending a lot of time out there with Scott! I think it will be perfect–we can put the kids to bed and then sit out there and spend some nice time together. It was expensive, but we got it on 6 months same as cash. We will pay for it with Scott’s next bonus, and that will be our family Christmas present this year

I am keeping my fingers crossed that the baby stays in for at least the next 2 days, and then it is fair game
