Well it looks like it might not be so much the false labor. Went to my check up appointment this morning and the doc said it’s looking like it will happen wihtin 12 – 24 hours. my husband is catching a flight home and will hopefully be here in time for the big arrival.

Contractions?
Well, we went to the hospital last night for the first time. I was experiencing contractions every 6 minutes for 45 all during the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Finally called the doc after Colbert was over.
We went in and I’m still only dialated 1cm and haven’t effaced very much. They said that I’m tense and that’s not helping the cervix efface (of course I’m tense, my husband is in Orlando until Saturday — the kid needs to stay in there just a little longer)! So they gave me some form of Ambien that’s safe to take with a baby and Thank God they did. By the time we got home, I barely had enough time to eat a PB&J with with and I was out!
Still experincing some cramping and the occassional contraction this morning. The nurse said that to make the labor progress just do a lot of walking so I will be doing the OPPOSITE today — a lot of laying in bed.
Everyone pray that little baby Kropp can hang on just a few more days!
Baby shower @ work
Today my work threw a wonderful baby shower for my husband and I, plus another employee named Victor whose wife Tracy is due in two weeks. It was really great and they gave us so much stuff! I really didn’t expect that at all.
We received 4 blankets, a diaper stacker, a rattle shaped like an elephant and a huge gift card to Babies R Us. I love the diaper stacker. I had started making one but never finished sewing it. Now I don’t have to!
Baby shower was wonderful
The baby shower was this past weekend and it was a lovely event. I really appreciate everyone coming out to Reston to make the day special for my husband and I.
As soon as I have the time to crop all of the pictures, I will be putting them up in the photo section.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts (both those who could and those who could not attend) !
Looking forward to baby shower
Well our dining room is full of boxes delivered for the shower from those who couldn’t make and those who are coming in from far away.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday and having a relaxing time with friends and family!
