One Week Left!
I wonder if I'll make it a whole week. Probably. Though lately that seems impossible. I've been up all night the past two nights with contractions. "Fake" ones apparently. The ones that aren't supposed to hurt. Well, they sure hurt alright! I don't think I ever had braxton hicks contractions like this with Calin. Anyway, Sunday night they were 60-70sec long and 5 min apart for over 3 hours. Then they finally slowed down to every 10 min or so for the next 6 or 7 hours. Last night they were even more painful than the night before, luckily they were 10min apart, but they still lasted ALL night again.
No changes to report from my Dr apt last week. But Jordan and I did make the decision to change my induction date to Monday the 11th, 7am. The office is traveling starting Monday, which means they will be working 2.5-3 hours away and staying in hotels. I'm not ok with being at the hospital in labor without Jordan. He needs to be there. And the thought of him missing it terrifies me. So we both feel better about Monday. But hopefully she'll come on her own before then.
I've deffinitely been feeling the "nesting" phase kick in. I just wish it came with a desire to keep my house clean. I have all of her stuff ready and most of my hospital bag packed. And even though I don't need much for her, I still find myself going out almost everyday and getting things. I think of a new thing that I "need" every day just so I can go out shopping for her. I've been making some hair accessories finally, and my s.i.l. Mickie sent me a ton of hair bows, so now I'm finally in need of some sort of hair bow holder :)
We toured the L&D unit at the hospital a few weeks ago. All the nurses were really nice and the rooms were enormous with lots and lots of windows. But the postpartum rooms are super tiny. They do have a pull out bed sort of thing for Jordan though, so I guess it will work :)
Last Thursday the girls here threw me and another wife a Tea Party baby shower. Lots of feathers, and pink, and doily's, and of course FUN!
Everything had it's own little doily.
And I won the this cute little tea set (perfect for my little girl's tea party) for my hat - I think they just felt obligated to vote for me since it was my shower :) See it in the back of this picture below?
It was a lot of fun! Everyone brought such delicious treats! Cucumber sandwiches, tea (aka cucumber punch), petite fours, and even a cake shaped like a tea pot!

I have been thinking about you all week and wondering if baby was gonna come early or not. I can't believe you only have days and not weeks left!!! We are so excited for you guys and can't wait to see what you are going to name her!!
Those are cute hair bows and a ton of them!! Daphnee is 2 months old now and I think she only has 5 (none made by me). I have totally been slacking in that area.
Good luck with everything and we can't wait to hear the news of her arrival!! Miss you tons!!
Looks like we were worried about the traveling for no reason at all. She's coming tonight! We'll keep you all posted. She's at a 6 now. Stay tuned.
Yay Jordan, so excited for y'all! Can wait to hear when she arrives!
How exciting!!! We wish you luck and are excited to hear the story! Hope it goes well. Good job Jordan for being on top of it posting the progress! Congratulations my friends!
Cool tea party Baby shower! Hope all goes well tonight!
Awesome baby shower! How fun is that a tea party! I love it.
I need to learn how to make those other cute little flowers that you made. I love them.
Jordan, thanks for letting us know how things are going, we're praying everything goes well!
Cute bows/flowers! You will have to teach me how to do some of them, if you end up in ID. Can't wait til your baby is here.
Yea!!! I'm the first to post it's a girl. I'll let Jordan tell you what the name is.Congratulations Kyla and Jordan and Calin on your new addition, Dad
