What a night...

I am so glad I have a blog to document everything our child has put us through already... it will come in real handy in a few years time when he or she is a teen and making claims about us never doing any thing for him or her.... What a wise mommy I already am!!! hehe

Here is the update:

Yesterday I went and hung out with my momma and daddy for the day. My grandma and grandpa were there visiting too... I decided that since I wasn't having too many contractions I needed to go for a good walk! I dragged my momma and grandma down past the mailboxes (if you live in the highlands or know where my parents live you will know where I am talking about) to where the new houses are! NOTHING! Just when we get to the bottom of the driveway, wham... I finally got one... OK! So I decide to walk up and down the front and back driveways! I had a few medium contractions but nothing earth shattering. So I decide to pack it in and go have some home made soup for lunch! Which was sooo yummy by the way!!

Later that afternoon, Momma and I weeded my backyard. Something I have been wanting to do for weeks now! It looks so great!! The weeding brought on a few contractions but again nothing earth shattering. I decided to give my body a break and have a shower and then relax and finish my book, another thing I wanted to do before baby was here (the book, not the shower).

Gord called and said that the Jeep, my wonderful, best vehicle ever Jeep, was having a trans issue and he needed to take a look at it so he was stopping at his parents place on the way home... and would be late. Since he was at his parents place, and they had not had dinner yet either, we decided to go for dinner with them afterwards. Then we hit up Toys R Us to get baby's swing (maybe this was what Tubbins was waiting for) but they didn't have the one we registered for... so we went to Sears and found an equally nice one... however according to Gord it was unsatisfactory because it didn't have little "Dougys" on the mobile. ("Dougy" is in reference to Doug who Gord works with and they like to call a monkey... don't ask).

Anyways... on the way home I started to have a few contractions!! Yeah!

We set up the swing and I baked some cookies... more contractions... stronger... Double Yeah!

We got ready for bed and the contractions got stronger... so I stayed up a bit longer to see what they would do... I wouldn't go to bed.. because every time I seem to go to sleep they stop all together and I wasn't having that happen again!

By 1am they were officially the strongest contractions I had felt! Triple Yeah! I wasn't sure if I was ready to go to the hospital yet or not... my contractions seem to be scared of hospitals/Doctors so I wanted to make sure they were here to stay before I left. Gord told me to at least call the on-all doctor to let her know what was going on, so that's what I did. She said I could go in or I could stay home a bit longer as it would be more comfortable. I decided to stay home for a while longer until they got a bit more intense.

No more then 30 minutes later the contractions started to space out and weaken... I was in denial... so I kept walking... by 2:30am... I gave up and went to bed...

So here I sit this morning babyless and contractionless.... the Joys....

I know it's all worth it in the end... but I just can't wait to meet our little Tubbins!!!
Plus June 26th sounds like a great birth date for our little Tubbins...
