here we go...

It's 8pm and we still have a few hours to kill before heading to the hospital. Matt just got home from the CricKet store and is just eating dinner. I think I am too nervous to eat and would throw it up if I tried. I think I may sneak in some graham crackers for later, along with a Zantac.
I have had some really strong contractions, just not consistent. If I have dialated more, and other changes, they may just break my water and let me go on my own, without inducing...that would be ideal.
Brinley is having a BLAST at Aunt Ami's house. Jesse is even playing Polly Pocket with her. (thanks Jess, I know how much you hate playing "dolls") Brinley is SO excited about tomorrow and she even picked out a dress to wear to the hospital, saying, "Sarah Mae would love to see me in a dress, don't you think?" She also said that I couldn't be as excited as she is...I don't know about that.
I thought about getting a nap in before we leave, but how can I sleep at a time like this...it's like Christmas Eve...who sleeps?
If she happens to come tomorrow afternoon, when no one has won the gift card, i am going to put all of your names in a bowl and let Brinley draw the winner. So, it's like all of you getting a second chance.
oh, and
HaPPy bIrtHdAy QuInN!
love, Sarah Mae

Good luck Arah! And I love that her middle name will be Mae. M-A-E were my initials before I got married, so they are obviously the best. ;) jk.

Good luck today! You are going to do awesome, I just know it! Cant wait to hear the big news! Ok so I don't exactly remember guessing that she would be born in the AM, but I guess I'll accept that. ;-) I actually thought all day that she would be born at 930pm.... Hope it's not that long and from what you told me a bit ago, I hope you keep progressing so she'll be born soon.
Happy pushing!!! :)
Love ya!
