Ok so you have been warned and I'm not one to complain publicly or be whinny but I sit here writing this post with conflicting emotions. We have had 2 false alarms that baby#2 was on his way but both times we have come home from the hospital with nothing but time away from Landry and empty handed without him a little brother. I say I have conflicting emotions b/c on one hand I am so ready for him to get here so we can see, hold and love on him but on the other hand I am taking advantage of every minute I have left with just me, Landry and Austin. I have been having pretty strong contractions that are consistently 2-4 minutes apart the past two times we went into the hospital, but due to no progress on dilating I have been sent home both times. However, this past time I did dilate from a 1.5-3 but they didn't consider that enough progress for me to be in "active labor" so they weren't able to go ahead and induce me. I go to the doctor Tuesday for another weekly checkup and an ultrasound to make sure the baby is in the right position since I am not dilating like I should be with these contractions so please pray we get answers and a set date for an induction. I DO NOT want to be induced-but I can't take these contractions much longer so I am ready to do whatever has to be done to get him here safe and sound. Ok-so now I am off my whine box and I promise the next post I write will be a lot more happy and up beat! :) I have lots to catch up on with Landry. He has changed so much!
Hang in there! Before too long you will have both of your sweet boys at home to love on. Though, I have to warn you, those conflicting emotions and feeling torn between the two will continue. We're praying for you. Nora keeps asking over and over what he is going to look like. She also "had a baby" today. Too bad giving birth isn't as easy as it was when she did it in play. :-)
