False Alarm?

It has been almost a year since my last post so obviously that means my baby gummy bear is here! She is very much keeping me busy, which is partly why the posts have been lacking. I have been documenting the past 11 1/2 months in pictures though so hopefully I can play a little catch up now and be back on the blog more regularly. I have missed it and don't want to forget any of my time with my mini so the best way to remember is to blog, right?!

After the last post when I was 39 weeks, we then had a little false alarm. Because I had never been pregnant before, I didn't know what contractions felt like so we ended up at the hospital in the early morning hours, 3AM-ish on Saturday July 28th, two days before my due date. We spent a couple of hours there and I was monitored for contractions. I was still at 1 cm dilated and even though I felt like I was having contractions, nope! My nurse was so amazing, helpful, FRIENDLY and made us feel so much more comfortable with the whole process, the hospital and what to expect when I actually did go into labor. I was actually glad we did go in to be checked because I knew I wouldn't be so nervous about going back for the real thing! After a few hours on the monitor, I checked out and we went home to patiently wait for our baby girl.
